    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.

    there is a season for everything

    What is in flow right now?
    What is carried by the wind, fired up by the sun?
    What rises and what falls.
    What waxes, what wanes.

    original posted on my social media

    The older I get the more I realize:
    “We don’t build anything. Don’t actually create anything either. Not really.
    It is already done.”

    There is a driving force beneath it, that we can feel and make the most of, or we can ignore it and try to make something with our own bare hands 100 meters to the right of it.
    Achieving of course, nothing.

    Because the foundation, the groundwork, was never supposed to be done by us.
    It was already woven into the fabric of our existence, and we were only meant to pick it up from the thresholds of our dimension, and bring it into our world.

    And this exceeds professional and creative endeavors;
    It is in everything.
    Or, alternatively, it isn’t.
    And then it will never fly, never really be done, and fall apart the moment you take your eyes off of it.

    I believe – and you might fiercely disagree with me on this!- that all the work is done in the other dimension. Our own influence is incredibly limited.
    Which can be both a good, as well as a bad thing.

    It’s good news, if we’re drowning in destructive emotions like hate (including self-hate), shame, despair and terror.
    It would take some force from a dimension we do not understand, to manifest anything irreversible there.
    You not being the main creator of your reality, could be the very thing that saves your ass here.

    But the alternative is also true;
    If we really, really want something, and no matter how we come at it, reality just won’t budge?
    Oh that sucks.
    A lot.

    It can pay off to look for movement in this fabric of our reality.
    Where does it vibrate with expectation?
    Where does it stretch and expand, as if something is coming into existence?

    Where, does it call your name.

    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 in addition 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.

  • Bugonia versus Predator | Share Your Work 2025 11 17

    Yes!
    I am that one person who did not like the arthouse movie Bugonia.

    It was playing at our regular theatres as well, which explains why I saw it.

    I do see arthouse movies there occasionally, either intentionally or simply because I forgot to put on my Arthouse Vision Goggles, to detect any movies outside the narrow margins of my cinematic spectrum.

    Here in the Netherlands, as well as on YouTube, reviews about Bugonia have been unanimously positive.
    Some going as far as to call it the best movie of the year.
    And I would have let them and would never have mentioned that I saw Bugonia, had it not been for watching another movie about Aliens within two weeks after my impressive achievement of sitting through Bugonia;
    Predator Badlands.

    Now that, is what I would call the best movie of the year.

    I am basically new to the Predator franchise.
    My interest was sparked this year, when I saw a video explaining how 1st generation night-vision goggles in Vietnam, may have provided the story for the first Predator movie (1987).
    These goggles were so effective you could even see into other dimensions, and see DEMONS!
    😱

    And I had also seen the trailer, so I knew this movie was set on a foreign planet, and revolved around a predator (a Yautja), his tribe and the habits of his clan;
    And it was about a female robot, or cyborg, I never know the difference.

    The Yautja and the robot team up. The Yautja wants her help to kill a large prey to earn the respect of his clan, and the robot needs his help because she has been stuck and also lost her legs.
    Both will have to face the harsh reality of the “families” they were born into.

    As opposed to Bugonia, there are no humans in Predator Badlands. Only robots and aliens. Including the protagonist, a predator or Yautja named Dek.

    And yet, it is this movie that ends up being profoundly moving, with a message about belonging and love.

    Predator Badlands, a movie devoid of humans, is about what it means to be a human;
    And get it right.

  • your dream does not wait | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | 13th in the “Lost Posts” series | 2025 11 07 + 2023 07 08 (OG)

    your dream does not wait

    If you immediately know which One Day dream I mean?
    Then you got your message.

    If the number of dreams overwhelm you;
    Ask what does each dream represent?
    Whose dream is it, which version of you?

    original posted on my social media
    8 July 2023

    Retrieved, blogged, and story added November 2025

    It’s been over two years since I wrote those words.
    And by now I can testify that sometimes dreams get stuck, are not what they seem, and it can be frustratingly hard to carve out the actual dream from the solid mass in which they’re hiding.

    And also that not knowing where you are on the journey, can be a blessing.
    The reason I could work in 2023, was because I felt so on track!

    And yet, little remained of the things I started. 

    You can be excited about being en route, when the ultimate destination, if you even want to call it that, ends up having very little to do with where you thought you were going.

    And yet, had I not gone after my dreams in 2023, I would never have ended up where I am today.

    Here’s what I learned:

    The most important one is to “just” start; But to keep it small.
    Avoid designing a long-term path, and instead focus on making small steps.

    Every journey and project, even the failed ones (maybe especially those!) provides so much valuable information about yourself and about your dreams as well.
    And about how to get there.

    See your attempts at achieving your dreams simply as experiments, and not as a binary thing where it is good if “it worked”, and you failed if there are no results.

    Every attempt provides you with information.

    The second piece of advice is to let your path be rooted in something you love doing.

    F.e. I love abstract thinking, writing and planning.

    But yours could be being part of a community, sharing your dreams with a (business) partner, or connecting in other ways.

    You may have to actively sculpt your path to include those elements.

    But after 2 years and 4 months?
    It’s all that remains.

    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.

    Next stop, the Rock Star Take On
    SOCIAL CONDITIONING!

    come to your senses

    Pleasure has the power to bring you down,
    from the high of creative life
    the scatteredness of the online world
    To the now.

    “To be understood at an energetic level.”
    My new wording of what it is I see myself doing, or growing into, does not exactly feel natural yet.
    Maybe it never will, I don’t know.
    But it does feel as true.

    Because with the overload of information available, and our instincts to combat complex situations and problems with adaptable and agile solutions (or with equally complex structures) I foresee the end is either in sight, or already behind us.

    There is only one place to return to, and this is our body.
    Not the mind, so easily replicated by AI, but the body.

    Have you realized how deprived we have become?
    In our digital experience we use our eyes, then audio, but our tactile experience is limited to typing.

    Just think about the rich experience of taking a music cassette out of the small case;
    The touch of a crispy sleeve of a vinyl record;

    Or the mechanical sounds of a VHS tape clicking into the player.

    I even remember the smell from the music section in the library, because the plastic cover sleeves of the vinyl records had such a peculiar, delicious smell.

    I know a building where a rubber wheelchair dorpel over the doorstep makes the whole hallway smell like the building of the primary school I went to, when I was very small.
    It’s like a timeportal in scent.

    We’re so deprived right now, we’ve lived in a sensatory desert the past decade.
    I expect people will look back on the 2020’s and wonder if we didn’t realize our entire physical experience had been marginalized.
    Where the richness of life has slipped through our fingers.

    Right now, one road leads to us becoming bad robots.
    The other to us embracing our physical Self.

    And with that?
    Our vibration.

  • Rock Being You | Share Your Work 2025 11 03

    I’ve been right, and I’ve been wrong.
    And in the most confusing cases, I was right and wrong at the same time.

    Right, because I was definitely on to something.
    Something life-changing and potent, like uncovering a Great Secret!

    And wrong, because the element I identified as being the key ingredient here, never had anything to do with anything.

    I’ve had it with wanting to be a photographer, I’ve had it with choosing to be a yoga teacher;
    I’ve had it with identifying as an entrepreneur, yet now expect to be immune to it with my new profession, because now I know.
    But I will tell you about that another day.

    Today I will take you back to Madonna in 1985.

    This was the year Madonna had her international breakthrough.
    The summer the world got to know her through Live Aid.
    Director Susan Seidelman got herself a blockbuster, courtesy of the unknown Madonna she had cast in a supporting role.
    And the year every 13 year old knew exactly what she wanted to be when she grew up;
    Madonna.

    After what seemed way-too-short a time (the Madonna inspired collections in department stores had not even reached The Netherlands yet!) Madonna changed her look in a way 13-y.o. mini-Me viewed as going from owning the whole fucking world, to owning flower-patterned dresses.
    I fell out of love immediately.

    Luckily for me, in 1986 Bon Jovi made it big with You Give Love A Bad Name and Livin’ On A Prayer.
    We had a radio show on Friday night with Adam Curry. The only one within our borders who was able to pronounce American names correctly.

    When he talked over the guitar-heavy intro of your hit song, casually pronouncing your name ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than any other person would;
    That was when you were crowned King, here.

    Both Madonna and Bon Jovi have known different musical eras, but what I learned is that to me their music was never their defining characteristic.
    What got me hooked was them being the Rock Gods of The Universe.

    And not appointed by Adam Curry;
    But self-proclaimed.

    I think what I had counted as a crisis of faith.

    Because honestly, if you’d asked me a few hours ago, before I had a nap that lifted the grogginess, or at least softened its razor sharp edges of having less than 3 hours sleep;

    If you’d asked me the future of this What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today – series;
    The fate of my New Rock Star YouTube Channel;
    And the fate of the Catacombe blog (tagline “become the Rock Star you were born to be“, which Chat GPT had made synonymous with my name even half a year ago already)

    Then I would have told you, I was going to drop them all.
    Poof, gone, sorry, can’t do.

    Now three hours sleep does not even generate enough cognitive power to decide what to have for lunch;
    Let alone what to do with what has felt as my life’s work, right from the first posts in 2022.

    But I didn’t know that.
    My brain wasn’t working.

    All I knew, was that at least this disruptive sleepless night had given me one actionable decision:
    Catacombe, was out.

    It was not bringing me closer to my longterm goals and my workweek was spilling over heavily into the weekend.
    Something had to give.
    And it was not going to be my Dutch work (which I have been wanting to expand on for months)
    It certainly wasn’t going to be my Bon Jovi-related work (which is at an incredibly meager once every two weeks)

    No, clearly it was Catacombe had to go.

    And if you’d asked me this morning, I would have told you.
    Smooth and matter-of-factly.
    Without making a big deal out of it, or anything.

    Until I got some sleep and remembered when one cancels something that brings joy;
    Clarity;
    Empowerment.
    A sense of ownership and direction.

    And perhaps not just to me;
    But to you.

    You guessed it;
    Never.

    Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
    And then a few in between.

    And in addition 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.

    A Rock Star Take On CELIBACY

    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.
    So subscribe!

  • act ready | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | 10th in the “Lost Posts” series | 2025 10 24 + 2023 07 05 (OG)

    act ready

    Your future finances, body, possessions, clients, friends;
    Are you ready to accommodate them?

    When they knock, are they welcome?

    original posted on my social media
    5 July 2023

    Retrieved, blogged, and story added October 2025

    I’ve fallen head over “bootstrap” heels in love, repurposing these old posts. Which were the first of their kind, from a series (What Do Rock Stars Do Today) that ended up being my go-to format, committing to it indefinitely.

    Today I also modified the Canva post, for the first time.
    Adding the lesson onto it, something I did not do until now.

    So today’s lesson is
    “Act Ready”
    And it’s definitely one I needed to hear as well.

    Either these lessons from over two years back are universal, or I am such a slow and stubborn learner, that they are still relevant.

    But the good news is;
    I also learned good things can very well happen even when, technically, you are not ready.
    Let me explain.

    The readiness of your surroundings only matters as far as it is a reflection of blocking -or otherwise unhelpful- thought patterns.

    In other words:
    It is not your material world, nor the digital world for that matter.

    For example always keeping your home clean, is not what brings you what you want: It is your (positive) conviction, that lies beneath it.
    Your mental patterns.

    There used to be a show, and I have never seen it, so it could be still on, but it was called:
    Undercover Millionaire

    Without a name, resources or a network, a millionaire would try to recreate their success, in a different location.
    And nail it, while working themselves up from sleeping in their car, to earning their first million.

    You know why?
    Because in their head, they were still carrying the blueprint of success.

    Our mind needs to be ready for what we want;
    The rest will take care of itself.

    ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

    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 in addition 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.
