In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a Rock Star Take on FRESH STARTS
Because it’s the first week of the year, 2026.

2. coming soon: CREATOR series 00:20
Ready to double or even triple your content/ original art?
You really can rock it as a creator, take the stress out of it and also without batching your content.
(you may have encountered “batching” as something you need to do – but they’re wrong, and you’re don’t).

The new CREATOR series will go out on this Catacombe blog but also on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/@TheNewRockStarChannel
If you subscribe there, they will show up in your feed.

3. FRESH STARTS 02:18
A rule of this Rock Star Take is that I can’t prepare!
So I can’t sit down and ponder in advance what I will be sharing, but fortunately I had the most interesting thing happen to me on New Year’s Day.

One that offers a brand-new perspective on the whole idea of FRESH STARTS
(and also: give yourself as many fresh starts as you fancy!)

Next the Rock Star Take On
INFINITY!

It will go out on this blog.
So subscribe!

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a Rock Star Take on THE HOLIDAYS
Because it’s the final week of the year, and the final video of 2025.

2. Christmas in The Netherlands 00:17
We have 2.5 days of Christmas!
And I have such vivid memories of when those days were booked with back-to-back family gatherings.

3. The Most Creative Time of the Year 02:45
For me, the holidays have ended up being this creative spree.
But it’s not just me;
Everybody is so creative.
Making special dishes or multi-course dinners;
Decorating the house, organizing gatherings.
The holidays are collectively our most creative time of the year.

4. New Year’s Day 04:38
Special mention for January 1st, which is my favorite day of the year!

7. The Rock Star Take on THE HOLIDAYS 05:10
It’s the only time where it’s not “just you” who is creative.

Everybody gets more creative around this time of the year.

8. Year wrap up 07:36
I have been thinking about starting a new series, as well.
One tailored to CREATORS, called The CREATOR series.

At the time of recording, it was just an idea;
But I have made the decision!
I will indeed start this new series, but it will go out on the blog (not a video series)
Subscribe to:
And you will get The CREATOR series – as well as these Rock Star video Series, in you Inbox in 2026.

And I have made a decision on it

9. A New Year 08:28
The next video will be up Monday the 5th of January, so let’s choose a topic related to that.

Next stop is a Rock Star Take On
FRESH STARTS!

It will go out on this blog.
So subscribe!

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a Rock Star Take on FUN

2. Participation 00:35
The first thing that comes to mind is;
Something is fun, if we’re allowed to engage.
We often associate fun with being a consumer, in the sense that the entertainment is created by someone else.

But the more we participate, prepare, anticipate and interact, the bigger the fun.

3. We Will Rock You 04:25
The Queen song is a great example of how more engagement (also in your own day-to-day activities) means more fun.

4. Depth, layers and meaning 05:47
The more different aspects are used to create the experience, the richer the experience, and also the more fun.
F.e. a date night where all layers of the experience of going out or having dinner, are attended to by both parties.
But even a work meeting would be so much better if we created it with intention, care, treats and lighthearted conversation topics.

5. Humor 09:19
Fun in the sense of humor, is often created by a conflict, or contrast, between two layers.
F.e. what you say is in opposition to the reality, as we can all see it.
This creates a comic effect.

Another comic effect from the contrast between layers, is when there is am expectation being a certain way;
And then providing the opposite!
So creating a reality or saying something that is the opposite of what was expected.

6. Last video of the year 10:34
The next video will be wrapping up 2025, so let’s take a video that goes with the season!

Next stop is a Rock Star Take On
HOLIDAYS!

It will go out on this blog.

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With a Rock Star Take on SOCIAL CONDITIONING, something I only recently discovered.
And now I can’t belief I didn’t see it before!

Big disclaimer here that I don’t even know what the official definition is. And the rule of this series is I’m not supposed to prepare these videos!
But regardless, I think it will be a very interesting video.

2. Social Conditioning 00:57
Warning that I think very negatively about this concept, but the way I see it, is that Social Conditioning is basically a web of lies, worked into your unconscious psyche
😱
Like software that is programmed there (in your own head) that you don’t know exists
🤓
And that shouldn’t be there, if you want to live a life of meaning.

We may agree with the underlying social idea of them, such as the concept of non-violence, but because they’re executed so poorly, they provide inconsistent outcomes at best.
And enable inequality and repression, at worst.

2. Social Conditioning for Women 05:25
Not mentioned in this video, but for men it’s things like having to repress their emotions, being a provider, not being allowed to be sensitive.

Also not in the video, but in general, you can say Social Conditioning robs women of their power and men of their humanity.

3. The Matrix 05:50
This movie where the people do not know they are living inside a simulation, is a good movie to imagine how we too, are living in this matrix of social conditioning.
Not realizing, it’s not the real world.

4. The Big Evil of Our Time? 06:47
Well, in a way….
Social Conditioning would have been The Big Evil of Our Time, had it not been around for thousands of years.
Probably since the agricultural revolution.

5. Experiment 07:27
If you encounter shame in yourself, fear, or other sudden negative emotions, it’s a good habit to track this.
Is this you, or is this your Social Conditioning talking?

6. Next time 08:25
That was a tough topic!
Let’s try for something lighter, next time.

Next stop is a Rock Star Take On
FUN!

It will go out on this blog.

A Rock Star Take On SEXUALITY

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With the SEASONAL take on SEXUALITY.
Because the videos in this series are so heavy, I will be making a Rock Star Take on Sexuality every season.
To try to keep things a tad lighter than usual!

2. The importance of sexual identity 01:17
Sexuality has the power to reveal where the electric fence of society is keeping you imprisoned, is keeping you small.

If your sexuality is different from the norm, then this process of individuation is engrained in the coming out itself. Often resulting in making bold decisions in other areas as well.
After you’ve freed yourself from societal expectations, a whole new world of options opens up.

But if we’re straight, it is tempting to stay under the radar, and avoid confrontation, which also leads to not owning other areas.

3. The electric fence of social conditioning 06:37
When you cross this invisible line, you set off a network of shame and repression which has been internalized by people.
The negative messages you receive, are actually people speaking a message that is not their own, as if their mind has been taken over.

Reference to the movie Fallen (1998) where a demon can take over people, hopping from one person to the next.

4. Why standing up for yourself is so scary 09:52
When it comes to sexuality, it takes tremendous courage to stand up for yourself, because you’re facing incredibly powerful forces.
And an enemy that you cannot see, because it’s one that has worked itself into the minds of well-meaning people.

5. Why standing up for yourself is so incredibly powerful 10:55
It shows you who you’re dealing with, and overcoming this strengthens you tremendously.

Showing up for yourself, and not avoiding difficult conversations where you hold your ground with regard to what it is you are comfortable sharing, and how you want to be treated-
that’s where the power lies.

SOCIAL CONDITIONING!

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With another episode of a Rock Star Take On.
And this time the topic is CELIBACY
Kind of like the prelude to this season’s episode on Sexuality….

Because these videos are so heavy, I will be making a Rock Star Take on Sexuality every season.
So the Fall edition is upcoming.

You can find them in the playlist, if you need them sooner😎

The format of these videos is (ideally):
– videos are under 10 minutes
– and I go in without preparation

And I really did not prepare!
Mainly because I thought I knew what I wanted to say.
So let’s find out.

2. It’s not ideal 01:20
Let’s be fair!
Rock Star and Celibacy don’t gel well together.

Despite Lenny Kravitz having been very open on his choice for celibacy;
It’s clearly not an ideal situation when you are a Rock Star.

3. The main reason 04:00
Rock Star and Celibacy don’t compute, is because sexuality and creativity are one and the same thing. In particular if your creative work is a physical performance.
It’s less easy to have access to your body, if you don’t have sex with a partner.

4. Rock Stars might still win!! 04:40
If Celibacy was a contest.
Because of who they are, and what they can do, a Rock Star Take on Celibacy is a liberating one.
And one we can all learn from, to rock life’s dry spells.

5. See you next time 09:04

Next stop, the Rock Star Take On
SEXUALITY!

It will go out on this blog.

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With another episode of a Rock Star Take On.
And this time the topic is SPIRITUALITY.
And I managed to do what I always say I’ll do (but rarely ever do):
I did not prepare.

These videos (ideally) have two characteristics:
– videos are under 10 minutes
– and I go in without preparation

And I have no idea what I’m going to talk about, so let’s see how this no preparation pans out!

2. Spirit + Body = Longevity 01:18
I am a Yoga Teacher, or at least I used to be one, and I still make yoga videos for YouTube
(Dutch account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA81I4RdVvgtGK99T3Io3Ew)
And there I was reminded of how consciousness and the body are one, and influence each other.

If you want (your body) to live long and healthily, the body should be included into your spiritual practice.
The best spirituality for Earthlings, includes the body as part of the spiritual practice.
But start with the part of spirituality that appeals to you, and then start integrating other parts from there.
(body, mind, meditation, myth, journaling: I’m not very specific in the video – but start with whatever appeals to you, holds up)

3. Rock Star Power 06:31
The energy we associate with true Rock Stars, is an example of integrated spirituality.
They are so magnetic because they have brought their consciousness into the body.

In order to maintain this integration, the Rock Star needs to look after the two elements of mind and body.
They both need to be trained.

4. See you next time 09:20
Where we’ll be talking about celibacy, which neatly ties into our Fall edition of a Rock Star Take on Sexuality.
So let’s do that one after Celibacy.

Every season I will be making a Rock Star Take on Sexuality. You can find them in the playlist, if you need them sooner😎

And the next stop for Rock Star Take On?
CELIBACY!

It will go out on this blog.
So subscribe!
