only you know the depth you are avoiding | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 09 27

only you know the depth you are avoiding

Challenge yourself to move deeper into your art.
The layer where you are showing up professionally, is not where your growth, expansion and purpose lie.

Practice your craft into uncharted territory. 

When do you think the average human being realizes the way they are spending their time is not representative of, or no longer reflecting, what they really want out of life?
How many Netflix series, social appointments with non-aligned peers, expensive but joyless holidays, or how many new clothes, cars, houses or partners later, before the lightbulb moment that they are living the wrong life?

Now multiple that by a factor somewhere between 2 and 20;
That’s how long it will take us before we realize we are absolutely coasting, when it comes to the work we have properly, and long ago, identified as ours.

With a realistic option of never finding out and staying in that zone where other, more worldly matters or needs, seemed more important.
And our craft will ultimately stagnate at the bare minimum necessary for our identity and the benefits it brings us, financially or otherwise.

The living, breathing relationship we once had with our art, will become a shadow of what it once was, and we risk becoming caricatures.
Not caricatures as humans, at least not as first sight.
We will be more in tune with those around us, more sensitive to their needs and more susceptible to their worry.

But shadow professionals, who just pretend to be the craftsman they once were.

What good can we do, when we may be committed to the work but not to the unexplored depths of it, where the work as the world recognizes it, is no longer distinguishable?

Your commitment is to the wholeness of it, not just to the part you can justify.

..
~Suzanne

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
We find each other in wholeness and understanding that there will always be far more we don’t know, than what we do.
That our work, when done well, is done in the presence Unknown.

I offer you my company to take me to the depths you know you cannot ask others to join you.
I will take your lead.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.

it was never under your command | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 09 24

it was never under your command

You decide what you do with the endless stream of ideas, the urges and the hunches, the inspiration and the passion.

Once picked up, some of them will stay with you for life. Others will leave. Sometimes without you noticing.

“You have the right to work, but for the work’s sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work.”

and

“Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender.”

Both from the Bhagavad Gita. (source)

And there is something about not being lazy in there too, but for now I’m just gonna go with the assumption that like your average prolific, poorly understood Rock Star, your art has the potential to devour you if left unexpressed.
That for you, the option of developing a Netflix addiction is not on the table.
Nor under the table, or within a five mile radius of it.

I’m going to label it a case of eating or being eaten, but between you and your art.
So in a very metaphorical, close to biblical Hero-journey kind of way, where every time The Call comes you roll your eyes thinking:

“Oh no! Not again! Please tell me, this one is not for me. I haven’t even gotten my head around the last one!”

But what if you would release any idea of you having to actually do, shape or manage it?
That even your skill and experience are not meant to be what you are relying on right now.
That it wants you in your purest, most receptive state. Not like a vessel, but like a doorway.
A gate from the world of ideas into reality.

In the four years I took my training as a yoga teacher, and a couple of years after when I was still very much living in the yoga world, the world of Ayurveda and of the Bhagavad Gita where the quote is from;
I encountered a strange but beautiful story, multiple times, every time from a different source, about the souls of unborn children.
That they pick you, before you are pregnant.

And that the Wise, who are initiated in this knowledge, can see the soul in your presence before you are pregnant. 
They know that you will soon be.

So welcome every new idea, but do not name it yet nor get attached to its presence.
There is still a long way to go before it is manifested in a recognizable form and even longer before it grows into maturity.

But just like children, our ideas need us as facilitators and as stewards, using skills on the fly we didn’t even know we had.
They need us to be a strong gateway or lay the path for them into the world.

Whether it’s a business idea, a creative idea, an abstract concept;
Whether it’s an activity you’d like to pick up, a country you’re curious about, or an event you think should be organized;

Let the idea come through, and guide it into this world.

We do not know if this is their moment to be manifested in true form, nor do we know how long they will stay on this earth.

And it is not our job to know, either.

..

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
We discuss what it is to be under command of the things coming through;
Not in command.

Even if you think: “But Suzanne doesn’t understand! It’s A LOT! I have no idea what I’m doing or which side is up!”
I know.
Bring all of it, this is the right place.

give yourself full expansion | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 09 12

give yourself full expansion

You were given the size you were meant to have, to bring what you came here to bring.

To cut, limit, to apologize for who you are and even to soften rough edges;
It is to risk your entire legacy.

A mouse is small, an elephant big and a whale is even bigger. All beings have exactly the size they are meant to have.
And we humans too are all born having certain talents and a personality, all of them developing over time. Until some of us reach a stage where Normal is no longer covering it.

When you are beginning to stand out like a dormouse between the house mice;
An African elephant between Asian ones;
Or a blue whale between the humpbacks.

And regardless if you are sensitive to this animal analogy or not, your job will be to accept this as an unchangeable reality, that will express itself at various moments throughout your life.
And almost exclusively;
In the most inconvenient and unfavorable of ways!

But your being different, your inability to commit to the simplest of tasks, to show up for the smallest things or your sensitivity to the horrendous mundaneness of the daily grind?
Well?
Could it be because perhaps you were born for bigger and bolder things?

That maybe, your expansion lies somewhere else, where all the little things will fall away, or in place, or maybe they go nowhere at all, yet they will lose their relevance.

Move into full expansion of your Blue whale-ness, your African elephant-ness, your dormouse-ness and your Rock Star-ness.

That, is YOUR commitment!

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
We discuss what it is to be different, and how to come to terms with what is inevitably, shockingly and brilliantly;
YOU.

Even when that person is right now someone doubting themselves in some key areas; Someone still flirting with succumbing and someone a mystery even to yourself.
Bring them, they are most welcome.

there is no mistaking if you are called | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 09 06

there is no mistaking if you are called

If you can do something else, and find it joyful and fulfilling;
You are not.

Let me rephrase:
If you can do something else.

“Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say”
Alan W. Watts

There is more than one writer who holds the belief that writing should have a sense of urgency to it.
That there is no point in doing it, because you want to BECOME, a writer.

You either are or you aren’t.

And what better time to be reminded of that urgency you should feel before getting out there, than today?
When in our modern world even the bakery around the corner uses social media to get their message out. And that’s a business we all support and feel the human(ity) behind it.
It is certainly preferable to having our minds and wallets hacked by AI generated products and commercials.

In today’s landscape, it is so easy to feel shame around supporting your (your!) art and/or your heartfelt business by getting your message out.
It sure as hell requires some balls to be visible as WHO you are and WHAT you are, without hiding behind whatever!

And yet, I am not here to help you to dip your toes in, nor to coach you through the treacherous waters of social media and into the safety of a Patreon account.
I am here to say;
Then you are not called.

And wow, wouldn’t any of us called ones be very happy to trade places with you!
I know I would.
Oh! The wonderfully neutral yoga- or coaching business I could build.
The soft and gentle life, revolving about self-care and small adventures I could have!!

🤗

And I bet Alan Wilson Watts would love to trade places with a non-called one too:

“Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone.
Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t.
Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.”

― Alan Wilson Watts

So when you know, you know.

Either you have options to get your message out or you do not.

When your message tries to cut itself a way out of your heart every time you deny it, and your only choice is between letting it out – where fear of the external consequences to being visible is the least of your worries compared to the turmoil going on inside! –
or getting drugs strong enough to shut the shrieking inner voice down.

The good news is that if you are called, unlike others “in today’s world”;
You no doubt have what it takes to take that message where it belongs!

Out there.
On a stage.
The biggest one you can find without being thrown in jail.

And even then, you’ll at least consider it.

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
We discuss what it is to know you have a calling.
To have work to do, no one understands.
And I’m not even going to suggest that I do understand it, but I am comfortable in not-knowing, and in my own ignorance.
So bring it all.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:

Once we know we are a good fit, and I have told you the price and you have  made the booking final;
We move.

My suggestion will be to sort your story into:
1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
But like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they can be a good framework. We would then have one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.

But following today’s death row letter analogy, and image of hanging by the cliff and your last words, I guess I could have made it shorter today!

What is it, you really want to say?

it is time to burn what you know | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2026 05 29 + 2023 09 04 (OG)

it is time to burn what you know

Where you are going no one can help you, not even you.
Let go.

Today was quite possibly the most important day of the year, if not the last two decades.
Finally, the last revelations came and a new truth was revealed.

The truth I saw was incredibly potent, heartwarming and to be honest there was an intellectual, ego-driven part in me that wanted to write this down!
This- which proved I had been right all along.

About male and female energy.
About yoga.
About mentoring.
About the world.
Capitalism, financial success, and the blueprints leading there.

If I would write this down, I would not only have an explanation for my own past 25 years;
But for every problem I could ever encounter and in all probability-
what anybody else would encounter.

If I could just give that brain of mine one extra squeeze!!
Pen in hand, this time.

Until it hit me- no.

I was going to say no to this.

I was going to soak up this moment of all-knowing, this perfection of insight and then I was going to do the literally unthinkable;
Let it all go.

Because although this work of analyzing into the deepest depths, has made today the most profound day I ever recall having;
It has had its purpose.

Knowledge, whether from others or our own, is not meant to be held on to. Not by us, the artists and creators of this world.

Your unfinished projects, your unfulfilled promises, your unpublished works, and your unsold art;
Your finished projects, your fulfilled promises, your published work and your sold art;

Let go.

Your work is now.
