2 Rock Star Things That Took Me 25 Years To Find OutRock Star Take On FAME was recorded on 4 Nov 2024
In this video;
– welcome to a new video 00:00
The series wasn’t named yet, which is why you see me not remembering the title.
But I’m gonna name this series “Rock Star Take”.– recap of the foundational video 01:00
– Rock Star-ness illustrated with the superhero Venom 02:07
An extraterrestrial symbiote, who gives a host great strength. But also great challenges.
Knowing you have a Venom inside of you, is the first step. And the second, is recognizing how it expresses. And how it doesn’t!– I wanna talk to you about Fame 04:22
Because I have an alternative vision on this.– The common idea on Fame 04:47
And why people pursue it.– A Different Perspective on Fame 08:25
As a way to match our outer world, with the inner reality. And to share the load.
Introduced with an illustration of people carrying a lot of inner-conflict, who tend to do the same thing of externalizing their conflict too.From a Rock Star perspective, Fame allows you to make other people see your powerful Venom Self, you have to live with day in and out.
The world can now see who you really are.– What the emptiness of Fame is 12:06
And why it doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. Just that you ALSO still have to deal with whatever force it was that brought you here.
The outer world acknowledging you, does not replace having to fight your inner battles.
You cannot escape that part of you.– The movie Venom 3 is now in cinemas 14:20
It can shed some light on what this symbiotic relationship with your inner- Rock Star force really looks like and how to deal with it.
You have to come to terms with who you are.Next stop, The Rock Star Take On
CRAFT!.

perfect your love | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 27
perfect your loveWhen you have thought it all through and counted the hours you were about to spend on saving yourself, improving the situation, responding to an unforeseen event to make it all right.
Versus the limited days you will have on this earth.
Very little remains, that still needs doing.
—
A few months ago, and inspired by the movie The Crow (1994) and studying its meaning and symbolism for weeks, I changed the graphic design of my Canva posts for this series.
Instead of using a photo referring to the subject I was talking about, preferably illustrated with Rock Star references such people with tattoos, artists, musicians or music adjacent visuals such as a studio or a stage;
I did a 180, and switched to Goth inspired.Initially I used them in the same manner I had done with the Rock Star photos:
To search for a certain topic in the Canva photo database and insert it into my design.
But soon enough my routines started changing.The change was sparked when I started to use filters, to give the photos a more Gothic look.
And I do not remember the order in which this happened but soon enough it became a layered process, blowing a photo up, using only certain parts, or selecting other photos to fill up the margins with a background image.
And the gamechanger was finding the Remove Background option.I completely reinvented it and for today’s Canva I used a total of four Canva photos, all filter adjusted and all with their backgrounds removed.
Resulting in a Halloween appropriate image of a witch doing her magic surrounded by graves and a Crow.
Which ignited this shift, months ago.The Crow (1994) would not have reached its legendary status without the enigmatic Brandon Lee turning this into masterpiece.
It was his unwavering love for the project, where his dedication inspired the whole crew to bring their best game, why we are still talking about this movie today.The story itself however, did come with a core element that only had to be preserved, polished and highlighted. Not created.
Love.The story of The Crow (1994) is the story of undying love.
A love that crosses over into the afterlife, and that has the power to bring back the dead.And it is a good movie to watch in times of turmoil. Because it makes clear that we cannot influence the evil that goes on in the world.
That evil, in many cases, is too strong a force.As was the case for Eric and Shelly, the young and very Rock Star couple from The Crow, who got murdered for what was basically a fight over real estate at the highest level in which they had no part except being tenants at a coveted location.
It appears to be a Victorian church, once converted into an apartment building. Eric and Shelly rent the corner top floor apartment, right under the roof.They are murdered on the night before Halloween
“which was called “Devil’s Night” or “Hell Night” from the 1970’s through the 90’s, due to the numerous acts of vandalism and violence across the U.S., particularly in the city of Detroit.”
source:
Devil’s Night? Raining all the time? Might as well watch The Crow!The financial backstory to their murder is shown, not told. We see the murderous gang entering their apartment referring to the complaint the couple made, in a team-up with other tenants in the neglected building.
They stood up for their own rights, and the rights of others.
And paid for it with their lives.And yet, what they actually stood up for, side by side with the other people in their building, was nothing short of love in its purest form.
Throughout the movie we see flashbacks to the couple in love, Shelly’s wedding magazines, and a little girl Sarah who regularly visits them, finding surrogate parents in them.
The love of the couple has permeated everything around them.And just like them, we may not have the power to change things. Nor to assess correctly all the evil powers at play.
But we do have the power to do the right thing, and to love the ones around us unconditionally.Brandon Lee died making The Crow, he was hit on set in a firearm accident. Just like his father Bruce Lee, Brandon died young and under unlikely circumstances that had no clear cause and effect.
And just like the character Eric in the movie The Crow, Brandon had also found the love of his life, and died just before he could marry her.
The wedding had been scheduled a week after filming of The Crow would end.But again, just like Eric and Shelly in the movie, Brandon Lee had given it his all. His relationship, as well as this movie.
Which he brought to great heights, always striving the best for every scene and for the character.The intense love Brandon Lee had for his life and his work, is what has survived to this day.
The Crow 30th Anniversary Re-Release Trailer (2024)Or, in the famous last line of the movie:
Buildings burn, people die;
But real love is forever.Sarah

2 Rock Star Things That Cost Me 25 Years To Find Out | The Rock Star Channel is finally here! (new video)

https://youtu.be/AQCIWDhaK4E2 Rock Star Things That Cost Me 25 Years To Find Out
| The Rock Star Channel is finally here!—
In the week Venom 3 premieres in cinemas, my neglected Rock Your Business channel, gets it well-deserved reboot.
And for very good reasons, because if you too are carrying an inner Venom;
You want to know!In this video;
– Welcome back to this *to-be-renamed* channel! 00:00
Which at time of posting is still called Rock Your Business.– The origin story of this channel 00:31
And how my journey unpacking having been a (misfit) Yoga Teacher, meant this channel first needed to be Somewhere In Between It All, and was then settled at “a business channel”
Knowing very well, this would not be the final truth.– 18 months of Rock Star Work 04:15
Blogging a series called What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today
(For Catacombe, which is the website you’re currently on), has provided me with a lot of insights, on what it is, I had been dealing with.
And what all Rock Stars need to grapple with.– The Element BEHIND all things we like 06:15
Because when I was under the illusion I liked “Yoga” or “Business”?
It was something else. Someone, else.– 1998: Madonna bringing me to yoga 06:44
And me thinking this had anything, to do with yoga!– 2016: A business coach making me fall in love with doing business 08:00
And this was after having been active in that field for 15 years, already.
Spoiler?
The passion I developed in 2016 had nothing to do with business!– It’s a Rock Star Thing! 11:55
We need to start recognizing (and developing) the power of the messengER.
And not confuse it for the content of the (or our!) message.– We’re gonna talk about THAT Rock Star Energy 13:40
Not all the possible things you can infuse it to, and which then come to life.
This is the first of the 2 big breakthroughs.
Therefor, this channel will be a Rock Star Channel, from now on.– You. Are. Venom. 15:25
Rock Star energy is like carrying a separate entity inside of you, just like Venom from the movie. This creature makes you powerful, if you let it express.– How Venom manifests in traditional Rock Stars 18:35
As performing.– Understanding Your Rock Star Power 19:27
It expresses differently for every Rock Star.– The danger of learning properly 19:49
Your Venom Rock Star power is your most precious thing. Don’t stamp it out with rigid rules and regulations. At the risk of losing 25 years!
PUT YOUR Venom/ ROCK STAR QUALITY FIRST– Know where your Rock Star-ness, expresses 22:12
You can’t just copy the way it manifests in other people.
Recognize in which way, Venom expresses with you.– Next week 23:45
The new name for this channel will be known.
And I will have the first topic for you, discussed from this new perspective of what it means to be a Rock Star.
You will not have heard this before, I am 100% certain.Next stop;
Fame!.

build your own church | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 19
build your own churchAnd let it be a private matter.
Select your divine objects, build the myths, map out the regiment for this sanctuary.
What are its daily practices of wholeness and holiness?What are the rules upon entering, and how are they enforced?
—
There is a housing crisis in The Netherlands. Like most crises it was off course manmade. Had they continued to build at the rate it was done up until 1990, and (this is where it gets hypothetical) resisted the temptation to sell real estate from public housing associations;
None of this would have happened.Supposedly, the rise of the number of households was predicted wrongly.
But since predicting it correctly would have involved the government spending more money, instead of saving it like a wrong prediction would, I doubt it was a case of getting the numbers wrong.
And I recently read they were instantly, and in no uncertain terms, warned against the dire consequences of cutting back on building new houses, in the early 90s.
But I cannot find that link so I will just leave it at it being my own not-fact checked belief.But it is my own not-fact checked belief our current housing shortage is a direct long term consequence of short-term thinking, and more importantly short-term cashing, dating as far back as the early 90s, and continuing to this day.
However, regardless of whose fault it is, it is a fact that a lot of people are living together who do not want to.
Couples who want to get divorced, cannot even get separated.
Students still living with their parents instead of with other students, like was the custom up until the 90s.
Young professionals still living with their parents, and young couples not being able to start their lives together.Not to mention families who are in need of bigger homes, in order to create privacy and a livable situation where the children have a quiet room for their homework.
And so on, and so forth.
I just saw a movie about the 1930’s, which were the crisis years here, as they were in many parts of the world.
I think the word is individuation; The ability to become your own person.
You need space for that.In a society with great shortages, people will have a hard time negotiating even the most basic boundaries, let alone feel they have space to grow.
Or, as the title suggest, to build their own church. Even if I just intended that in a metaphorical sense.And even if we do end up on the right side of the housing shortage, or whatever crisis our country is battling, even then;
Are you actually and actively executing and enforcing who you TRULY are?!
Are you the embodiment of your TRUE values?!And if, coming back to the title of this blogpost, you are the embodiment of somebody else’s church, somebody else’s values?
I have good news for you;
This works too.
There is no necessity to make up your own church or your own scriptures.But the problem is, most of us have NONE!
No rulebook or concept about what our set of guiding principles actually are.
And even when we do, wouldn’t you agree we still spend way too much time taking in other people’s opinion and considering angles to problems that are for sure, not authentically ours?We still waste time and spread ourselves thin, because we have not conceptualized it to a point where an official religion would have effortlessly guided us through.
We’re coasting, flaking, failing and at best Forest Gumping our way forward, where religion would have us aim HIGHER.
And have given us grid.You know I’m telling the truth here.
So we know this is not about you and me joining some church, although that is totally fine too.
But this is about taking our own life seriously.This is about an understanding that any scripture, playbook, set of values, or any daily practice and returning ritual;
That those are when we focus our attention, create intention, infuse awareness, and that will bring it ALL to life.The understanding that if we would be as committed as religious people;
We’d be crushing it.So go and crush it.
Build the church that was yours to build, to live the Life that was yours to live.
Amen.

the path precedes the purpose | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 12
the path precedes the purpose
The unfolding, the divinations, the visioning and the connection to a Higher Being, should not be creations of the mind.
But rather a joined-at-the-hip quest.
Where the best prediction of your destination is based on the lessons you are learning along the way.
—
There is a scene in The Wedding Singer (1998), where a groom who has been left at the altar by his bride-to-be, is sitting on a porch as she tries to explain to him why she sees no future for the two of them.
Until he answers:
“Once again, things that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!!”Screaming the last words out in frustration.
That’s me, doing self-reflection.
As I get older, my appreciation for everyone who manages to go through life either just setting one foot in front of the other, or who can settle on one philosophy (such as “There is only love”) or a religion of sorts;
Has been on the rise.Everyone who shows up at the altar without making a scene, and in appreciation of all the wonder, and with a happy heart?
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice….Understanding Life in a cognitive way, the way I do, certainly has its merits.
But the tremendous mistakes I have made along the way are of a magnitude reserved for people who reflect with an intensity that this whole life simply isn’t intended for.From the looks of it, I think it would be much more pleasant to simply always show up at the proverbial altar and enjoying the ride.
But for some of us, and that definitely includes me, a special place in hell is created right here on earth, where we look back and trace our steps until the truth is standing right in front of us in white dress, making us feel unlovable because of all the mistakes we made years ago.
Things that could have been brought to our attention in 1998, so to speak.And it’s not that we disagree with her, we can see she has a point.
But what’s the purpose of knowing that years ago (or decades, if you have the privilege being old enough), you took a wrong turn?Those are the moments we wish the hardest we had been one of those Living In The Moment Type of People.
At least we would have enjoyed the road we travelled!Maybe roads already travelled are not meant to be analyzed any more than needing to know someone who already left us at the altar thinks we were unworthy of their love.
Or, plot twist, alternative ending, director’s cut;
What if nothing went wrong?
What if this was the way the movie was set up all along?What if our bad decisions are actually the 100% correct ones, giving us exactly what we needed to move the story forward?
We too, can walk in Faith.
Not faith that we will be able to face adversity and that we will make something out of our lives because we are surrounded by friends and loved ones.
Because we are the ones sitting on that porch, alone, with the exception of the odd one stopping by to tell us how disappointed they are in us.But we have something else.
We can trust that the road we chose, as well as the lessons it has taught us, are what is required for where we are going.
Our purpose is an unfolding one.
Our practice one of faith, trusting not so much in a happy ending, but that whatever it was we learned;
It will one day be needed.It will be what we give out.
The Spool writes at the 25th anniversary of The Wedding Singer, about Robbie (Adam Sandler) overcoming heartbreak and finding the love of his life (Drew Berrymore):
“Robbie and Julia don’t end up together because the script demands it,
but because they were truly meant to be,
and the fact that the viewer truly believes that is a kind of rare magic.”If Robbie’s first fiancee had not left him so brutally, the fairy tale romance with Drew Berrymore would not have happened.
Yet it is the very fact that she did leave him, which was the most accurate prediction for what was in store for Robbie.The One you’re really supposed to be with, or alternatively, The One you’re really supposed to BE?
It was never missed because of past mistakes which have left you at the altar and to have painful conversations at the porch.Instead, it will be brought into your life because of it.
It was a sign, of what is still to come..

power is responsibility | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 05
power is responsibility
Great power comes with great responsibility. Yes.
But also the far more often applicable, yet easier forgotten wisdom as well;
Accept great responsibility, and great power will be yours.
—
I like establishing foundational principles for myself.
Things I have thought about so deeply that I know I have dissected them down to their core principle, so that regardless of what happens at the more visible levels, I never have to change course.Because I know the guiding principle, my North Star, my direction no longer sways.
The idea of taking responsibility as a way of manipulating reality, is one of them. A heavily underused one, although I believe that after writing this blog I’ll move this one a little bit more to the front, instead of keeping it dormant at the back of my head.
Power comes from taking responsibility;
What do I mean when I say that?And at the risk of scaring you away, or perhaps that is my intention because if this scares you I don’t think the rest will interest you much either, but either way at the risk of whatever your response might be, I’ll tell you my most vivid memory, of taking responsibility and feeling power flow back into me.
A sensation as powerful as Highlander having the life force of his opponent flowing into him, after he kills another immortal.
That’s what happened to me, when I first consciously applied this principle, although it was definitely not my intention to break open a whole new path to, I don’t know, world domination?!Little disclaimer here – before we proceed – ALL actions that symbolize taking responsibility, are actually irrelevant.
You cannot take or get power, simply by saying you are responsible or having someone else appoint you in any way.
It is the energy behind it, a felt urgency, a knowing that you’re gonna do this and that nothing will stand in your way.So in the following example that may or may not upset you, it is not that I endorse taking the same action as I did.
It is an illustration that if you take responsibility and believe with your whole might that this is yours to claim, and that you’re gonna run with it and no one will ever take this from you;
Then, you will feel as Highlander-empowered as I did.This origin story of my first power grab, that stays with me to this day, comes from the time I unsubscribed myself from the government funded health screening program I had been eligible for.
Had been eligible for a while already, and had even gone a couple of times, not thinking much about it.
Yet it wasn’t after I started witnessing the consequences of such screenings, and I’m not going to elaborate on that because that would be beside the point, that I realized I wanted out.That I was not going to let such a system influence my life.
So what, if I had a beginning cancer.
Very consciously and deliberately, I chose the risk of an early death over the horror of letting other people tell me what diseases I might have.
I was no longer going to take pamphlets from medical doomsayers claiming to wanting to save my body, any more than I would take advice from religious people wanting to save my soul.I’ll go to hell then, thank you and fuck off.
I’m giving the management summary here, the whole thought process from my first doubts to deciding and taking action, took multiple years.
But by the time I had made up my mind, the whole idea of health screenings had become synonymous with Evil Incarnate.
So to say I was ready to unsubscribe, was an understatement.
I would have taken its head off, if that had been an option.Thankfully for everybody, no killing was required and it was all politely organized through a website where you could indicate you no longer wanted to be invited.
It asked if I just wanted to cancel this screening, or all future ones as well.
And if I canceled everything, well then how about a tiny reminder in five years or so, just in case I had changed my mind?
They asked me if I was sure that they could go fuck themselves.
And then if I was really really really sure.And with every No, and every cancellation, and every Fuck You Miserable Scumbags that I could not type in, but that I FELT in my bones!
I felt power flowing back.
And I regained;
EVERYTHING.
It was amazing…. I never felt anything like it.Life, was given back to me.
All the power, taken by patriarchy, I could feel it flowing back, and probably straight into that part they had been after!
Well I guess my Highlander comparison fell a bit short there, but you catch my drift.I was born anew.
Like an initiation where I had faced death. Now, I could no longer be manipulated by the living.For days I was completely drunk with power.
And there was a realization that I had had an awakening. That something spiritual had happened.
Yet, with the same certainty, I also knew that I could tell no one. It would be irresponsible. Everyone would think I would be advising people not to go to screening, when I knew there was a hell of a lot more to it than that.
I had been living up to that final “battle” for years;
Had I filled in the website form at the first whim, no relief would have been felt. Let alone a response as powerful as mine had been.But now, a decade or so later, I can share because I know what was the key ingredient here.
What happened those years prior, that made the shift so profound.And that all this, is NOT about me bad mouthing health screening!
The key ingredient, is about responsibility.
I took responsibility over my own health and life, kicking out anyone who was there with government authority to test my organs for cancer.
However!
Someone else might take the same responsibility over their health and decide the exact opposite!
In that case, they will probably take the government screenings on board and perhaps pay for a few extra ones themselves as well.See?
Told you this blog was not just me roasting health screenings, although yeah, it does bring back warm and fuzzy memories of my Highlander moment, swearing so much.But the point is this;
This was JUST an example!
Imagine taking any annoying, frustrating area of your life where you’ve basically been half-assing it for years, if not decades;
And turning it into a Highlander-esque explosion of power!It can be done.
It really is the being on the fence itself;
The not making a decision;
The not being in, but the also not severing ties.
It is the being too scatterbrained or cowardice to give it a firm No or a Hell Yes!
That, is the problem in itself.Not the subject or topic, or the area of life.
And to a large extend it’s not the problem or the irritation in itself either. But you not feeling ownership, that is where your power leaks away.
Or letting other people decide because they know better, and you losing agency because of it.Try this, any area where you have goals or are hoping for improvement;
“I am responsible for (-)”
And now finish this sentence, filling in the area where you have been coasting, waiting and feeling icky and annoyed every time you think about it.“I am responsible for (-) and therefor I take the following actions: (-)”
Whether it’s about taking positive action immediately, or whether just like me you first need to clean house;
It doesn’t matter.But pull all that responsibility towards you!
Be decisive, be thorough, and in a way;
Be merciless.For you know what they say;
In the end, there can be only One.

creativity flows where the heart goes | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 09 24
creativity flows where the heart goes
It’s why an author’s debut novel has the most urgency.
And why a band’s first album makes the deepest cut.Pursue the topics that set your soul on fire, and your best work will come.
Without even trying.—
At least once a week I used to lose myself in unbridled fantasies about how orderly and powerful my life would look, if I was a normal person who calmly ran and built her service company where all would find peace and solace in yoga, mentoring, and read articles that lifted the heaviness of their burdened souls.
All the while knowing perfectly well that I am ruled by my creativity.
And that merely the act of fantasizing that way, is already a testament to how deep the rabbit hole goes.
When topics most people are drawn to or emotionally invested in, get visited by me:
Never.All popular Dutch television shows from the past ten years or so?
Watched zero episodes.
Because if you have your own television set in your head, things just work differently.The thing doesn’t have an Off button though.
Which is why The Inner-World tv series is playing pretty much all day and, if all goes well, automatically switches to one of the After Dark Channels, at night.
Shifting to a mellower mood, more suitable for the time of day and ending active thinking mode.Although my ability to really dive into a topic did not become apparent until the topic became yoga, earlier adaptations of my desire to study things I am interested in would be Brad Pitt, Bon Jovi, or the person I was in love with at the time.
I also did a lot of work studying Madonna, in particular (as far as we’re talking about the first expressions of my artistic roots) from 1990 to 1994, what I would call her Erotica Era.
After her True Blue/ Like a Prayer albums, which I didn’t even own, I could feel her work was changing in 1990, and becoming more aligned for me.My interests dominating my thinking, has been a lifelong fact.
However the walls of where we are called out to take responsibility for how we spend our time, and to work towards our goals or at the very least to do something productive, useful, and in service of someone or something;
Well, sooner or later those walls will have closed in.At some point, on a cognitive level, you will have started believing your creativity is a self-care activity with which you can reward yourself after you have fulfilled your worldly duties.
Only to see yourself sacrificing sleep, relationships, being on time, exercising, daylight, meals, and keeping the house clean or at least above the level of a stable;
In order to attend to your creative flow.My personal boundary was that I never sacrificed personal hygiene, but the rest went overboard in a heartbeat.
All, to follow creative flow.So if that’s you, I hear you. I know this is madness, and that you (like me) are probably wishing that you still had that luxury of being able to cut watching tv, to get more creative time.
Instead of cutting the parts that would have been so nice to have in your life.And also the moment that you start doing your version of fantasizing about how beautifully organized and contained your life would look, if you did not have this Passion ravaging anything that looks like control, intention and just general Life Together-ness.
I got you, and I understand.
But you know as well as I do that your creativity is the real thing. And that wishing for a less chaotic life would mean cutting yourself off from everything that inspires you. Meaning from everything you love.
Even though I loved fantasizing about my creativity to go, deep down I knew that to wish for creativity to go, means closing your heart and no longer being able to be in meaningful relationships.
Not with my work, and not with other people.Ultimately?
All those moments fantasizing about how life would look without creativity, or maybe it were all the hours thinking about marketing and business, who is to say;
But ultimately, it paid off.
Big time.And maybe this is what will help you too in staying true to what your creative heart wants, while also having the satisfaction of being productive.
I will be speaking about this in the upcoming years as well, but today is the first time I mention it.
Because it’s really fresh!
But what I am about to tell you has silenced the ongoing battle in my head.
I no longer fantasize about how clean my life would look without creativity.If you are a creative who loses hours in their creative work, but also wants to be in their business.
Someone who understands that in 2024 and probably for the rest of our lives, being an artist is about being visible as much as it is about creating the art?
And that our real job is to sell it? Not to create it, since that, give or take, goes automatically.I have found the way to silence the voices of doubt, and to let your art work for you. Not against you.
I call it Portfolio Marketing, and I will speak about it frequently.
This is how it works;You let your marketing, your daily messaging -> BE <- your creative work.
So for some of you, the creative work already is the marketing.
Like Andy Warhol used to be an illustrator of fashion, early on in his career. These drawings are now art of course, just like all his other art that was immediately created as such.
If, in 2024, making reels is your actual creative expression, then that is your marketing.
Every reel is then not just content, but providing you save or post them where they are preserved, they also build your portfolio.
Naturally, you can also be an artist who includes temporality in their art. Then the art having vanished after 24 hours becomes part of the art, and although the piece itself is not preserved and not added to a physical portfolio, the art has existed.
The immaterial art portfolio is still being built, but more in the way like performance art.So you stick with your own dominant creative expression, and that is your marketing.
Contrary to how normal businesses do marketing, where what they post is tailored to building the audience, and therefor repurposing and even buying other people’s content (365 Days of Content bundles etc.) in order to get the job done;
What I call Portfolio Marketing means what you create to post should be Art in itself, or it should be related to things that were already in your portfolio.
For example a quote from one of your books, with a sales link to the book.Now this is not rigid of course.
There can still be services you sell, or areas that you speak on, where you create a different sort of content that is not part of your dominant creative expression.
For example a written post on YouTube, when your dominant expression is being a videographer.
These written posts will never be collected and studied, and mused over what you meant, and so on.
But your videos could end up in a museum in 2060.In this case the videos are the core part of Portfolio Marketing, and the post is not.
Working from the concept of Portfolio Marketing, gives direction to your creative inspiration (and you can engage guilt free)
And at the same time makes sure you do not spent your creative hours on marketing that ultimately does not have your heart in it.Naturally creativity can also express in the service or product you are offering.
This is definitely a more daredevil thing to do, and the stakes are a lot higher -leading your creative vein into art that can serve “just” as marketing is definitely less risky-
but it can be done.What you then get, is that you are allowing the actual thing you are selling to change.
And the only thing constant?
Is you.This is by far the most Rock Star thing anyone can do.
And I invite you to get comfortable with that idea as well.
To give it time to grow on you, that in the end, one day, you’re ONLY going to create whatever it is you want to create.
And sell it.Then the whole marketing layer has dropped and it becomes to be building your Portfolio.
And this can be art (as in a painting f.e.) but it can also be a service.
Selling a new course every few weeks.When your audience has grown accustomed to knowing you as a creator, a gate to another level has opened, where they are starting to come for you.
No longer your work.
This is what I call the Rock Star level, no longer Artist level.It’s not a hierarchy, both models come with their advantages and disadvantages.
A business sells a generic service or product;
An Artist or a company with an “Art based” strategy, sells a unique service or product, brand or system;
But a Rock Star sells whatever they want.This is the level where you have truly outgrown your business owner- service provider-jacket, and are now completely free to cross over to any other industry, at will.
You can do and sell whatever you please, as long as it is consistent with the values you stand for.It is an interesting exercise to feel if that brings up any resistance and if you can bypass that.
Can you give yourself permission to let the art come out, in whatever way it wants?
And accept that you should perhaps resist calling yourself a * fill in any craft * because there is no way of telling what your medium will be in the future?Can you let the art be the art?
And accept the possibility that the art was something else all along.
You..

what comes natural | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 09 22
what comes natural
The talents, skills and interests that are currently activated in you, are both a gift, because here the energy will flow;
As well as a limitation.And to up the ante;
They are ever changing.—
I think it was about ten, fifteen years ago, when this idea that we (artists and business owners) needed a Why, was very much en vogue.
Which was actually a trickled down version from the idea that companies in general, needed a Why.
Which is how a lot of things in marketing and management got screwed up.
And this was no exception.Because when you are an independent the only one that is involved in moving your business forward, is you.
And you don’t need to write down on paper what excites you, what moves you, why you love your work, and not even (anyone who has been within 5 yards of a marketing course will recognize this), not even, who your ideal clients are.You will know what people you gel with, and whom you don’t get along with.
There is little mystery there, except perhaps that you need to give yourself permission to only do business or work with people and under the conditions that suit you.
Permission granted.However, for a company, where people need to work together within a bee hive or abstract concept, of course it can help to give words to how client relationships should be managed.
You need to give the company a personality, shoes into which employees can step and a vocabulary they can use.
A philosophy to work by.However, if you are your own person, then all those things do not need to be explicit, because they are yours.
You, are the company.
If you would set up your own philosophy as if you are a company, it would end up being as artificial as for any other employee.Working under other people’s rules is always straining, even if it was originally your own.
It’s like when you have those business owners/CEOs who work really hard and then expect the same from their personnel.
When the entire company has been tailored to their strengths.
The people around them are working in a to-them-foreign energy, so it’s much harder on them.The same would happen if you would set your own work philosophy or artistic direction in stone.
You’re immediately stuck in yesterday’s version of you.
Bye bye growth and agility.So clearly, that’s not an option.
The whole idea of knowing and finding your Why, and it being this Thing that drives everything, might be an improvement for companies, and definitely beats trying to regulate everything at execution level.
But it’s a setback for if you are your own person.You are becoming less, not more, if you put your Why on paper and stick to it.
You’ve thrown away your natural inspiration and alignment, for something man-made.We have to except that we do not have a Why.
And that that is a good thing.
At the risk of being too extreme for your liking, I would offer you’re actually under direct command of the Universe or your higher Self.Now of course this does not mean that your work is in isolation! Of course you’re looking for connection with those around you, including your clients or audience.
But what I mean is that you’re not doing it from a point of having your philosophy or mission laminated on your desk.Dealing with your own ever changing nature, or the ever changing direction that the Universe or other powers give you, can be a bit of a challenge.
There is the story about the scorpion who wants the frog to take him across the river. The frog refuses, saying that the scorpion will sting him.
But the scorpion says, why would I do that?
Because if I do, then we’re both dead.So the frog takes the scorpion on its back.
Of course the scorpion stings the frog, and before drowning the frog asks why.
“It’s my nature,” the scorpion replies.In the most extreme sense, you are one day a scorpion, the next day the frog, and the following day a fish who cannot be made to climb a tree.
This is of course a very extreme example, and one I hope you do not have to live through.
It all boils down to two aspects, to this process of doing what comes naturally and what will therefor take flight, and come effortlessly.
The first is to realize you do not need to fixate yourself.
The corporate inspired vision, blueprint, whatever, is not for you. And you do not even have to commit to a set of values unless you doubt your own ability to do the right thing, given the context.
Contrary to businesses, you are flexible because you walk your own path. And staying on path, does not mean to verbalize it and name every corner and formalize every decision;
It means being true to who you are.And secondly, your natural strengths are forever changing.
Because you, are forever changing.Who you are, in the most extreme sense, can fluctuate from being the scorpion, to the frog, to the fish, to the tree.
And you could say that the work flows from that.But another way to see it, is that you change because the work that is supposed to flow out of you, is different every day.
This means to trust you are exactly who you are meant to be that day, in order to do what needs to be done.That you are not given the satisfaction of being able to articulate what your mission or your philosophy is.
Not the luxury and the peace of mind, of having a clearly aligned Why.But you got something else;
The understanding that you will wake up every day, being exactly the right person for the work that needs to be done.Including dealing out the occasional sting.

receive | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | fourth of the “Lost Posts” series | 2024 09 20 + 2023 06 28 (OG)
receiveIn areas that are not part of your natural creative expression, we can fall prey to intellectually designing them.
But in those other areas, what you skillfully did, was to create the space for it to happen.
To arrive, to unfold.Get yourself and your affairs in order to receive.
original posted on my social media
28 June 2023
—There was a bit of a crisis at Casa Catacombe, the past week or so.
If I had written this post from scratch today, instead of scrolling back to 2023’s Instagram for the text;
Retrieving the design from my old Canva;
And adjusting it to the formats I currently use – with the original photo missing from the Canva database, and not being able to choose the layout I wanted;Then this post would not, have been about receiving.
It would be more hustle grind and definitely less flowy.
But I can see now that Receiving is (of course) exactly the right topic for today. My crisis was indeed about having resistance to creating space to receive.
The way I see it, excavating this text 15 months later, is that your work (as in what costs effort) is not what other people think your work is.
It’s not your craft, not your profession, not your talent or your gift.“your natural creative expression” as the text calls is, in indeed the absolute least of our worries!
I remember there is this “thing” among professionals, that you have to invest in “sharpening the saw”.
That you have to invest in staying skilled at what it is you do.Where in my opinion if you are called and have a purpose, that saw will be sharpening itself hour after hour after day after week after year.
Not a moment will go by when you are not nurturing it, everything you experience will directly feed into it.If you have our type of saw, it does not need sharpening.
However, the problem we, people with self-sharpening saws, have is that everything else does not get done.
What the post calls:
“areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”Definitely true!
In 2024 just like 2023.
Remember, the reason you have that Super Saw, is indeed because you have created space in your life so that Saw can sharpen itself day and night.
And regularly go on a much desired spin.You’re not going to keep that creative saw you’re carrying there, in your shed!
Oh no.
You’re wielding it, it doesn’t have secrets for you.However, what 2023’s post did not mention, and what 10 days of crisis at the Catacombe Casa can tell you, is that if you have this auto-sharpening, running saw, that you love to ride like others drive their motorcycle?
The *checks notes*, “areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”, will have a hard time getting a place in your life!So yes, realize “all” you need to do , to receive in those areas, is indeed to create space for them.
True that.
But it does mean you have to carve out time, and a safe space for these blessings to land, with a free-spinning creative saw on the loose.And that?
Can require some thought 😉And for the unlucky ones, a crisis or two.

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.

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.
Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.And additionally to that, there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve..

egregore, egregore, egregore | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 09 17
egregore, egregore, egregore
Repeating this word 3x is a wink to the new Beetlejuice movie, currently in cinemas.
But I don’t think these entities particularly respond to being called out by how they are named.
It’s worse;
Google them, and you’ll probably recognize you’ve felt their presence.
They do not require summoning at all.—
Right of the bat, I’m going to admit I’m sharing something with you that I am not particularly knowledgeable about.
Yet when I encountered this concept, which was just a sidenote in someone’s talk, I immediately followed its trail.
With my fascination for the unexplained, I immediately understood that whatever that video or that teacher (who was new to me) could have told me, would no longer be holding up, compared to this.That learning “Egregore” had been the reason their videos had crossed my path.
Not whatever it was they had to share.And although when I dived into it, I was disappointed by the multitude of interpretations on what an Egregore actually was, and denounced the lack of consistency, that is of course to be expected when dealing with the beyond.
In particular when it has roots thousands of years old.
In ancient texts, Egregores are synonymous to The Watchers, and found under both of these names in a book which was removed from Christianity;
The Book of Enoch.
It dates to appr. 200BC and was part of canon for hundreds of years until it was basically what we would now call “cancelled”!
1500 years before that word even existed.
In The Book of Enoch, the Egregores/ Watchers can be both good (angels) or bad (fallen angels).
But in the 20th century and in ours, Egregores also started to become known as ideas, a collective consciousness, and even entities, that came into being from congregations of followers of those ideas.
And this can be an intentional congregation, like a church or events such as rock and pop concerts.
But these thought forms are largely formed unintentionally!Through social media, and views expressed through news websites that color our understanding of it.
The modern interpretation of what an Egregore is, can be compared to what is known in psychology as mass formation or crowd formation, where the individual thoughts are replaced with collective ones.
This phenomenon got more well-known during the Covid pandemic, where indeed on both sides of the spectrum (both the conspiracy theorists as well as those in favor of government regulation; two sides both with blindspots the size of an Egregore!) seemed to be operating both outside of the paradigms of logic, as well as opposite to the values you would expect to be underpinning that logic.
The viewpoints were irregular, compared to everything that had come before.
Both sides were so deeply emotional, and required social situations to be free from any attempt to really poke your finger in the loopholes, that now looking back I find the word Egregore, as in its most modern day interpretation, particularly useful in describing what the f happened in 2020-2021:
For the first time in my life, I witnessed Independent Entities being created,
by large groups of people giving their consciousness to ideas which were not their own.
Once these monsters, these Egregores, had taken shape, they were so powerful because they were still attached to the people that birthed them.
They were manifested consciousness.I remember so vividly the day the final regulations in The Netherlands were supposed to be lifted.
Friday 25th of February, 2022.
I wrote that down by heart, I did not look that up.And I saw the date coming closer, and was skeptical because I thought:
“This is stronger than they are. This monster of fear cannot be deleted at will!”
I knew for a fact, that on the 25th of February 2022, nothing would change.We’d have the same people being pro-vaxing, and pro-testing, and talking badly about conspiracy theorists, and of course on the other side of the spectrum nothing would change either, because they didn’t want anything to do with the regulations.
So the 25th came nearer and I was 100% sure I was right on this one.
The paper reality of the government, where they could just decree that we would now stop being afraid of Covid, would not change anything.And then, guess what?
On Thursday the 24th, the war in Ukraine started.An auspicious timing which definitely had the power to make a conspiracist out of everyone still on the fence after two years of pandemic!
But let’s not get into that. My point is of that course that everything had shifted on the 25th.
Like 95% of the people or something, who had been actively advocating or just neutral or leaning lightly towards the government;
We all snapped out of our pandemic nightmarish haze that had had its claws in us for two years, and we were awake.
To war.So I had been wrong, because on the 25th everything had shifted after all!
But at the same time I had been right.Because it had not been the paper decree of the government that had ended the two year thick cloud of fearful pandemic thinking.
A cloud I would now have called, a diabolical being, an entity called an Egregore.It had been the war in Ukraine, that had our attention.
And from one moment to the next, the Egregore no longer had access to our consciousness.
And it died.There are still people who are fearful of Covid and believe the government should have kept up protecting us from it, to this day.
But I do not believe they are feeding into an Egregore!
They are their own person, they make their own decisions, and have thought this through.
Even during the pandemic, you could recognize these what I would call “hardliners” as being quite different to the majority, who seem to defend government regulations out of social code or loyalty.
Yet you could sense with the last group their heart wasn’t really in it. Emotions, yes, but heart, no.
And it was not as thought through, as with the hardliners.I definitely think that from the get go, the hardliners had a consciousness and an awareness that the masses, including me I would say, did not have.
I have felt sick with regard to the social processes going on around me, throughout the pandemic, but absolutely lacked the clarity about what was going on, and was unable to formulate my own standpoint on the matter.
I was not myself, and I do not believe I have made in any way a useful contribution to pretty much anything, those years.Maybe because of my inability to act or form my own opinion – despite recognizing the extreme situation was the ideal moment for anyone calling themselves a writer or a thinker, to offer a thoughtful perspective on the matter-
That the years changed me forever.
And not in a way I would wish for anyone to be changed, but I will never be the same again. Sometimes I fear I have lost my humanity, and became a dark thoughtform myself.
(I have called her Dark Suzy, and technically she was already around in 2018, but that’s a story for another day!)Okay!
Back to the Egregores, which clouded our judgement versus the “virus hardliners” who in my opinion, did have access to their own mind!
And still do.Disclaimer:
I definitely don’t know enough about the other (non-conformist, or conspiracist) side of the pandemic spectrum, to say anything about the nuances there.
I have no idea where their Egregore begin, versus whom really came up with their own ideas, to which they will stand by.But on the neutral/ pro-government/ Covid-is-a-real-danger side of it?
I feel informed enough to say that anyone who after the 24th of February 2022 was still actively standing by their Covid-informed viewpoint, has proved their ideas were sovereign.And everyone who on that 25th of February 2022, felt a noticable shift, as if despite the coming of the new war, they felt like something dark and malicious had gone up in smoke?
Those were people like me, whose minds and/or whose lives, had been affected by what I would now call an Egregore.On the 24th of February 2022 the Egregore died of starvation.
After having caused havoc, and having polarized our society causing deep wounds that will remain scars forever.So maybe it is no coincidence at all, that the meaning of the word Egregore has changed over the centuries.
From the biblical interpretations, where they are spiritual beings or fallen angels, to the clean psychological perspective that they are not separate entities but simply a sociological phenomenon.Maybe the collective-consciousness-driven, superpower Egregores, which we saw during the pandemic, really did not exist, until a few years ago.
Their existence linked to digital media.But I invite you to think about what you witnessed during the pandemic, and make notes of what it is you saw.
The Egregores.
Regardless of their shape or form, regardless of your personal beliefs about where they come from;
In order to avoid falling prey to them, and losing control over your own mind;
And to understand the behavior of the people around you from as intimate as your own family or neighbors, to as big as a worldwide audience;
To familiarize yourself with at least the possibility, that there might be forces snatching away people’s mind, meaning that you will no longer be able to connect to them;You have to know what you’re dealing with.
And you cannot take my word for it, nor anyone else’s.
You have to look into the mouth of the beast, and find out for yourself.Egregore. Egregore. Egregore.

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.
To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.comTerms 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.
