it is what cannot be stopped | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 29

it is what cannot be stopped

What flows naturally, what came with a vision.
What followed you around when all else dropped away.

It is what will remain until the day you die.

All the rest, is entertainment.

The trickiest part about being called to do something, is that it appears surprisingly similar to people doing the same thing you think you should be doing.

The moves are the same, and there are unspoken as well as official rules, standards you never fathomed.
If you’re very unlucky there are diplomas and trainings expected to have or pursue.

But your gift doesn’t work that way.
In fact, if you insist on killing it – which is difficult but it can be done!- then your best bet is to formalize it, and start tailoring and kneading your vision and your natural talents and abilities;
To the smallminded worldly interpretation of it.

Watch!
How it sucks the soul straight out of it.

Until its lifeless remains have the exact same shape as what everything else thinks it should look like, but the urgency, the compelling pull, the spark of fascination and your natural willingness to be totally absorbed by it;
Are gone.

The thing that is yours to bring into this world, comes with its own soul and its own resources.
It does not answer to the laws of this world.

But doing it in an uptight, proper manner, aimed at winning respect and showing how professional you are;
Will leave you empty handed.

THE ROCK STAR

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.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.

trust your art matters | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 28

trust your art matters

Not the sales, not the likes, not the clicks, not the buys.
No question mark, no dot dot dot, not even an exclamation mark.
The art.
Full stop.

It is a returning battle for all creators.

The diabolical temptation to not just turn what we create into content, and to therefor unintentionally judge our work based on fleeting value, like judging a Michelin starred restaurant on meeting McDonalds criteria of having your whole order ready within a few minutes;

But also the ultimate end of this sliding scale where we consider quitting altogether.
I mean, why would you, if you can also buy 366 days of done-for-you content on a shoestring budget?
Or repurpose from your old projects, clipping it into more reader- social media- friendly snippets?

Why would anyone go through the time consuming process of creating anything original, if we live in a capitalist world that doesn’t even recognize the difference between a text written by, and imagery created by, AI, versus the ones made by human artists?

And in particular if you’re “only” using your creativity for your marketing;
Why bother?!

Why not just post something that just takes minutes, because you cut it from things you already created?
Although anyone who has ever tried this, knows that it is virtually impossible to do this without spending another hour creating something new.
Consider it a good thing 😉
But my point is, why would you do that?

Why would you regurgitate something that was created on a day that was NOT today?

I mean if your creativity itself expresses through curating, through building collections, through creating the perfect Instagram feed;
If your highest joy is to create a perfectly orchestrated marketing campaign?

Sure!
Go ahead!

But if your uniqueness comes from this message, this rebellion, this radically different view of anything and  everything, that you spent a lifetime coming up with and that is so deeply ingrained into you, it would by now be impossible to separate you two;
Then why would you?

Why would you repeat literally, what you created yesterday or yesteryear, when in a figurative sense, the message that will come out of you today, will be the same anyway?

Yes, you heard correctly.
Identical, the same, no different.

Because if your message is engrained into every cell of your being, it will be impossible for you to open your mouth or whatever way you express, and to come up with something “original”, as in something you have never done.
Your truth will be so deeply rooted, the same art will be created!

Over and over and over.

And there you go, that’s your art, that’s the thing you’re here to do.

To tell, speak, show, create and recreate, your deepest truth over and over and over and over.

Let the rest, rest.
Ignore it.
Let it be picked up by AI to be cleaned up and regurgitated into soulless dime a dozen content, that will probably receive more than the original.

Who cares.

Let your soul speak, let your heart speak, and never move back or lean back.

Be there, at the frontier, standing your ground.
Creating.

where wholeness dwells | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 27

where wholeness dwells

In the unlikely event you’re looking to add a bit more misery and pain to your life
Yearning, for an uptick in anxiety.
Unexplained fears lurking on the borders of your consciousness.

Divide your attention over as many things as possible, and change those things as often as you can.

But if you’re looking for the opposite?
Work in a fully engaged manner.

It was someone whom I held in high-regard, although their scatteredness had already struck me as being somewhat of an Achilles heel in their teachings.

That although of course professionals of all kinds have the same right to make a mess of their private lives;
With the ones whom associate themselves with giving life and lifestyle advice, spillovers into their work stand out more prominently.

If my heating mechanic has been on a bender the night before, I could not care less as long as he fixes my kettle.
But if it was my GP, I would need to contemplate what my thoughts are on this.
If I think it conflicts with the values and standards I want my GP to have, or if I think it would affect the quality of their work.

And I would look at it from different angles.
Because although it might be tempting to say a family doctor should never have a hangover, since a good part of their patients will be taking alcohol, having no part in that does influence their ability to relate to what’s normal.

However, again, if it was a mechanic and not a doctor, I would forget about the whole thing as soon as my central heating system was up and running again.

So the fact that this was a professional whom, much like a doctor, has something to say about health and lifestyle, did put them in the more challenging category.
The one we tend to be less forgiving, and raise the bar for.

What happened is that I saw their personal, in my opinion flawed, lifestyle not just spilling over into their work;
But actually being advocated.

So they were not just showing signs of it, they were promoting it.

And the thing that was being promoted was basically to do two things at the same time.
One for your body, and one for your mind.

I have seen it in different forms too, where instead of doing it exactly at the same time, you make them really really small.
So then instead of doing this thing, whatever it is, and give it the time it needs and deserves, you give it 5 minutes or 15 minutes.
Squeezing it all in.

Just as bad.

I’m not saying you should never do that, but that doing so should at least be a very conscious and preferably temporary choice.
Or with the intention that even though it is only 5 or 15 minutes, you will give it your full attention.
But that’s a conscious choice then, for short “atomic habits” style things.

But if you’re actually doing two things at the same time, giving it your full attention is an impossibility altogether.

And in my opinion nothing good can come of that.
Consciousness must always be in the moment, engagement must be full.
And preferably both of them are in the body.

So although being fully absorbed in your computer work (what is referred to by Cal Newport as Deep Work) is also more gratifying and can lead to feelings of wholeness and happiness, it’s still a hard landing afterwards.
Because there was no one “home” in your body for hours.

The best way of being completely in the human experience, is to have your attention with what is it you do, and that the activity has an active physical component.
Even if it is just standing up on your feet instead of sitting.

However!
This physical component needs to be tied to what it is you do.

A painter moves around in their studio.
But if they would setup their canvas or, more likely, their digital creation device, on top of a treadmill, the activity of walking has nothing to do with the work they are doing.

The analog painter walks around their studio in an organic way, it’s integral to their work.

So if you want to improve your life drastically, start with culling everything that is not whole, or that even interferes with the wholeness of other things that would have been whole if it wasn’t for:
-the scrolling
-the messaging
-the call
Or even: the 5 minute workout
In my experience if I interrupt my deep work at the computer to do exercises that are supposed to help me physically, it dramatically takes away my concentration.
And satisfaction.
The quality of my work plummets if I start cutting in, regardless if it is for Instagram or squats.

Beware, in this age where even the ones who you trust with your health advocate methods where your attention can no longer land, be, reside, wander;
Chill, play, stall, and laugh;
With the rest of you.

the vision is all that matters | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 20

the vision is all that matters

Just like you can’t create human life piecing together limbs like Dr. Frankenstein;
A result, or lack thereof, does not come from its individual parts.

It all depends on what you had in mind before the very first action was taken.

There has been an area in my life which is such a disgrace, I wouldn’t even dare sharing any of it here.
Suffice to say it has my attention, and I know I need to get this all down one way or another.

It will be a temporary situation, even though it is a situation and does not have the characteristics of something that is just temporary.

Yet I know it will be solved.

And I know the topics on which I should be taking action, but keep postponing it. 
And I even know it’s costing me money, yet none of these things have been able to motivate me.

Today progress was definitely made but the biggest breakthrough had nothing to do with the nuts and bolts, not with content, not with things that you can do, and actions that could go either right or wrong.

The biggest breakthrough, and I can’t believe it took me this long, because OF COURSE that was what I should have been working on-
Was that I didn’t have a system in place to hold this entire area of my life together.

And the reason I didn’t have a system is because I didn’t have a vision.

I had noticed the mess, and knew I was behind, but was consistently thinking about the whole area at Nike’s Let’s do it-level;
Execution.

When this is seldom, if ever, where things need to be fixed!

And it definitely wasn’t where I was going to find my solace, because I work singularly from vision.
Always.
I don’t care how small or insignificant the area of my life seems.

I am the opposite of Nike’s Just do it strategy.
A What’s the bigger picture here? person.

And even biggest picture. What’s the highest available vision I can have for this area of my life.
How does this area look if it reflects my values, my goals, and who I am?

How can I go from slacking, to not just functional, but excellence?

If you stay at the level of solving the problem, or getting the area to just good enough, it will remain a struggle indefinitely.
Take your eye off of it and whoopsie!
There it falls by the wayside again!

But a vision?
That is like the glue that holds things together, even when you don’t watch. You do not need to helicopter the areas or relationships, where you have a vision for.
They smoothly run on their own, until your next session with them, because they are rooted in a system, and the system came from you having a vision.

So what is the area where you have created a Magna Cum Laude Mess, that you don’t speak about?
And how would that area look if it was a straight A, ten out of ten, your biggest accomplishment, and everybody knew you had this nailed?

Forget execution and turn your biggest failure into your biggest dream.

decide the endgame | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 13

decide the endgame

When time is running out and budgets are cut;
If turmoil rises on the horizon.

On the final day, when death has rung your doorbell and you know it won’t be long now.

How will you leave your mark?

There are few things that scare me more than the idea that in the final day of my life there will be something I do mindlessly.
Check news, which is no longer relevant.
A social media feed which only distracts me from my final hours in this 3D world and physical body.
Pulling away attention reserved for loved ones, should I be so lucky to have them.

And counting back from that moment, you get a ripple effect. A wider scope.

And after having started with your last moments, the center or core of the circle, you find yourself increasingly intolerant towards any of those things being there the final week.
Month.
Year.

Until you realize that something which is irrelevant in the final moments, probably doesn’t do a great job at making a positive contribution to your life now either.

And vice versa;
That if you would choose it then, you should make it a priority now as well.

Now there are exceptions of course – surviving in this world requires significant financial means, and losing those can get you in severe trouble.

Same goes for your health: If you don’t take care of your body the best you can, this also influences your life in terms of quality and length.
That too is a dance, just like leveraging your time and money.

But still I think coming at it from the perspective of you literal, personal endgame, how you want to spend the final day, gives you a better perspective than if you mindlessly react to everything on your path.
Knowing what ultimately matters and what doesn’t, makes the choice a better informed one.

But all this, is still what I would call our human, endgame.
If you have professional goals, then that is a separate topic to think about.
What is your professional endgame?

First start with after you die – is there a part that you want to live on?
If so, then how can it be preserved?
Do you need to make arrangements for it to be managed by someone else?
And if so what is needed to give it the right financial means or organizational or legal structure? 

Then comes the final decade of your working life, which can be the actual final decade of your life, or maybe you want to retire and hand over the ownership of your legacy earlier.
Like a retirement.

But either way, how would you like your final working years to look like?
Are you a Picasso working until late in life?
And if so – then what is the work that is uniquely you?
You’re at Masterlevel now.
What is it, you have mastered?

The skills you see yourself growing into, and getting better at with age, should already have an important role in your life today.
In particular if it is an area where you still want to grow a lot in, and hope to master your craft at a level that is much higher than what you have today.

This vision for the final working years of your life, so that’s before you leave your legacy one way or another, should be KNOWN, to you.
You should have an understanding of what your endgame is.

definition of endgame Merriam-Webster:

the stage of a chess game after major reduction of forces
also the final stage of some action or process

Having enough money to retire and do the things you didn’t have time for during your working life, is how we are taught to think about retirement.

But if you are an artist, a writer, a scientist, a philanthropist or anyone who has spent their life working on their vision;
You need something else.

A longterm plan about how your work will be passed on.
And what that means for today.

You need to start working on your endgame.

what reaches you directly matters most | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 12

what reaches you directly matters most

The voice in your head, that is just a thought. 
Yet clear as glass.

The synchronicities that would not have happened if you had been three minutes later.

The light flickering, the trees rustling.
The visions of your future life, returning.

The shocks your body goes through in the dead of night. 

With the Lion’s Gate Portal closing today (the 12th of August), there comes an end to the avalanche of YouTube videos about this topic. 
This is the first time the concept has really gotten its claws in me!
In a good way.
And next year I hope to “do” more with it, and be more deliberate and intentional.

Yet this year I felt I had already catapulted myself into uncharted territory in the final week of July, when I sent out a very intense letter to all my friends.
Although personal, kind and warm, it was also a message that said:
“Listen- I’ve not been showing you who I really am and I’m getting too old to play nice. These are my qualities. This is what I can deliver. And this what you’ll never see me do again.
You in or out?”

After which I was definitely more occupied wondering what the hell I had been thinking putting my whole circle of friends on the line like that.
Astrological opportunities were no longer on my radar.

But considering the timing, in retrospect I think sending the letter WAS, my  personal big Lion’s Gate Portal event.

Lion’s Gate Portal is an astrologically defined time period (I wrote about the specs in this blogpost) that has known a fairly long build up, at least it did this year.
Then there was a peak which is always at the 8th of August;
And then a few integration days.

And one of the concepts I encountered this Lion’s Gate season is the “difference” between collective information, and personal information.
And how we are still in an acceleration of the amount of information that is available to us collectively;
But we are not balancing it out by going within.

Imagine the 20th century.
If you wanted to lead a more intuitive and spiritual life, there were really few sources where you could go.

We didn’t really get New Age shops in the Netherlands until the mid-90s. From what I remember the main parts of their collection were books and gems.
Visiting a shop like that was such an otherworldly experience, in particular because the topics were totally new and mind-blowing.

In the 21st century I have heard of two channeling methods or lineages, which are dated as far back as the 70s;
The Seth material
The Law of One, the Ra material

Yet the most woo woo I remember encountering at the time, was a Dr.Wayne Dyer book, original titel “Your Erroneous Zones” (Dutch Niet Morgen Maar Nu), which I tried to read after getting it from the library.
I even remember the cover.
But I got absolutely nowhere with it.

That was all when I was in my 20s but when I was still a teen I discovered the Unexplained section in our library, and I just ate it up!
If in my 20s, those now world famous channeling books had been readily available, I would have been hooked for life!

Speaking of channeling, I did have a bit of an early 2000’s fascination with The Book of Miracles. When that one came out in translation to Dutch, I remember it was such a big deal!
I think I always associated that book too, as being a channeled one.

I don’t know… I don’t think it was, I think it was Christian?
But either way, just to name drop a few books which I encountered, and didn’t encounter, at the time.

It was all very erratic and ultimately I “settled” for Louise Hay, whose work I did not encounter until 1998, and that was probably just because I was living abroad.
For years she would be the only spiritual teacher I had, and I still return to her work occasionally.

Taking the woo woo content of YouTube, and comparing it to what was available in the 20th century, is just one example of how our access to  information has changed.

I could easily have written this entire post with Bon Jovi as an example.
About how little information we had back then.
For example we had no idea that the intro to Let it Rock on the album Slippery When Wet is a separate song called Pink Flamingos.
99.9% of what diehard fans know and have access to today, wasn’t available then.

And the point I would have made for Bon Jovi is the exact same point I will be making for the woo woo stuff, including the information about the Lion’s Gate Portal;

We need to go back to going within.

Yes, the collective holds more information currently, on any area. But we’ve become consumers of this information.
When we used to be students of it.

A student will have only 1% of what we might expose ourselves to. But they study it intensely. Chew on it.
Learn it.
Think about it.
Compare it.
Search something else based on a question they got from studying it.

One of the things I am doing this summer is transitioning into becoming a 20th century Rock Star Writer.
I want to write about topics Googling less, and looking up more in the books I own.
And the other way around – I want to write based on the books. It’s very well possible that I can no longer set the subject in advance, and that I will need to let the material determine the topic for my writings.

Now I m not there yet- but that’s the intention.

And it goes for so many areas – instead of consuming mindlessly, try taking in less. But of a higher quality.
And then internalize the material.

But there is something else, that we are blocking if we keep up our pattern of over-consuming information. And that is that we can no longer receive, what is specifically meant for us.

If we had a Seth on the other side who wanted to talk to us, or the inter-galactic beings who called themselves Ra, after the Egyptian God-
Would we be able to hear them?

Are you hearing the messages that are there for you?

All information is always available in the collective (both in concrete form as well as in psychic form “the collective”);
But information meant for you personally, cannot be found on YouTube.

The more individual the message, or to put it differently, the more precise you want to be guided?
The deeper you have to go and trust within.

And it doesn’t matter if you then read The Law of One, the Ra material;
If you consult Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life;
Put on your favorite rock album and read the lyrics on the sleeve;
Or finally pay attention to your dreams;
It’s all good.

You’ll get the message.

THE ROCK STAR

.
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.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.

your ego evaporated ages ago | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 10

your ego evaporated ages ago

Every time you picked up a pen or a paint brush;
Every time you thought about a concept, attributed meaning, or invested way more than required from a productivity point of view.

The times you “wasted” capitalist resources, to  your creativity.

All your pettiness, was burned at the stake.

I had already started following three gynecologists on Instagram when I came across her, and immediately sensed she was different.
Where the other three had felt like accounts that were aligned and even necessary, in understanding my midlife health risks and the utter fucked upness of women being pushed over the cliff of untreated menopause;
She, stood out.

And even now that I have already unfollowed the first accounts about menopause, I know hers will stay on long after my transformation into this new phase of life has been completed.
And after the menopause revolution has changed the world.

Her name is Karen Tang, and much like other gynecologists she has published a book (It’s Not Hysteria; The Truth About Pelvic Pain, Period Problems, and Your Gynaecologic Health) and she’s using social media to comment on viral content regarding women and women’s health.
Her latest were on “Tampon Timand the discussion around the gender of female athletes at the Olympic games.

Quite similar to other gynecologists fighting disinformation… and yet!
There is something about doctor Tang, that immediately stood out to me.
And I have tried to analyse what it was.

What is it that makes Dr. Karen Tang stand out within this very vocal group of professionals that consists exclusively of badass, outspoken, social-media crushing, pioneers?

The first video I remember seeing, is still the one where I think we should start.

I will share it with you in a minute, but want to preface it by saying that in marketing terms it is a straight up sales video;
Which is very controversial in almost any field, because there are very few  business owners but in particular very few professionals in the public sector, who are comfortable selling!

Just going on camera, saying: “Hey! Wanna buy my stuff? Click the link!”
To most, this would feel like voluntarily tying themselves to the stake from the opening paragraph, and setting it on fire.

Sometimes I suspect the main drive of most professionals to engage on social media, is even because they’ll do anything to not have to ask directly for the sale. Or at least, nothing past the price of a hardcover.

Where I personally love seeing someone making a sales post.
Feeling someone sell what they got provides me with a rare and unexpected moment of feeling safe, warm and cared for.
As if everything is right in the world.
(When, obviously, that is far from the case!)

I understand Dr.Tang is a medical professional, and not a commercial airline!
She’s not on the far end of the business spectrum, and many of her patients will be compensated by their insurances for the health care her clinic provides.
But nevertheless, the video I encountered which made Dr.Tang my immediate favorite, was/is a sales video.
Something other people might not like or even find offensive.

Which is why I wanted to preface it by having said that this (a sales post) is a sweet spot of mine.
I love seeing a professional in their power, even when it is done poorly and quirky;
But especially, if it’s done the way Dr.Tang did it.
You know why?

Because Dr. Karen Tang’s “sales video” was all about her core message.
It was freeing, empowering and normalizing any medical question or procedure you might need.

You can watch this video on Instagram here.

And no, it is not a coincidence.
Because the core message of this video, the empowerment of women and for them to take agency over their own health, is the same as the dedication in her book:

To everyone whose health has suffered because of the patriarchy.
You are seen, you are believed, and you deserve change.

Dr. Karen Tang

So point taken that Dr. Karen Tang, who describes herself as “geriatric TikToker”, has a message and knows how to get it out there.

Which still did not give me anything to go on….
About why she is so entirely different. Why even within her peer group, she stands out and I know she’s the one I will stay with long after I have lost interest in the topic.

Until, for this daily story What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today
-which by the way will become a little bit more regulated as of tomorrow! With days off and everything! Don’t worry, I’ll let you know below every blogpost-
I was thinking about the topic I wanted to write about today.
Creativity.

How creativity changes us, so much more than we can possibly think. And that we (creative people) should have a better sense of that.
A better understanding about the sacrifice we have already made, but also about the new opportunities we have gained to move around much freer, than everybody else.

That the activity of being creative in whatever it is we do, liberates us from some pesky human limitations.
Just that we usually don’t notice…..

We don’t notice because we are very aware how much our creativity puts us behind!

How much valuable time and opportunities we lose, simply because we are CALLED to make our art or do other things in a creative way.
We don’t have the time to be that efficient, like other people do.

I was going to write about how hours of being creative has freed you from the judging eye of others. Freed you from a need for validation, liberated you from the crippling fear to fail.
Those things do not exist, in practicing creatives.

Creativity, art, is defined by the ability to fail.
There is a chance it can go wrong.
And on the other hand, there is the understanding that nothing can ever go wrong.
That it is the being in the process, that is the reward. It is what is called Karma Yoga, the yoga of doing.
And that we should never be attached to the fruits of our labor.

As someone who knows very little about the bible, I assume this could be linked to the fact that the bible states that you will get everything directly from God – not work for it.
“He would give you a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build, with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant”.

What creativity, art making, Indian wisdom, and the bible agree on, is that the outcome does not come from your work.
That work itself, is sacred.

And I was going to write this whole story, about how your creative work has burned away your social attachments.
How you no longer care about the validation of others, nor fear the judgement of them, because you had to let go of those things.
You could not carry them with you, into the fire of your creative calling.

And what was still clinging on you, was burned.

I was going to write about how your creative work, equals years or decades of spiritual practice.
That you have an ego, blank and pure like a child’s.
Your sense of self is no longer corrupted because all things artificial and superficial, were taken from you long ago.

Sacrificed, in the fire.
When you were doing your work.

And as I went about the first hours of my day, looking forward to sitting behind my desk and being able to write, it suddenly hit me;

That, is her secret!

That, is what sets Dr. Karen Tang apart!

She has gone so deeply through her creative fires, that she no longer cares what we think of her, or her work, her Tiktoks, or about her making a sales video for her new clinic.

She was liberated by going so deeply into her creative work, everything that was not pure, was stripped away from her.

As opposed to all the other professionals whom I have enjoyed, learned from, and whose work I have recommended;
Dr. Karen Tang, is liberated.

I would even say:
Enlightened.

recognize evil | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 09

recognize evil

It is more often than not dressed mundanely, not extravagantly.
Its appearance ordinary, and with manners that are unpleasant yet could hardly count as malignant.

If it wasn’t for the ice cold shivers they gave you.

But beware most of all, if you feel lost, furious or sick, and no one is near.

If I am not mistaken, it was the movie Unbreakable – which as sort of a random ps, I just read was expanded into a superhero trilogy with Split (2016) and Glass (2019) –
where the villain, a man whom appeared vulnerable because his bones broke at the slightest pressure, explained how villains never know they’re villains.

A lesson we should all remember.

The entire idea behind right and wrong, is that there is an awareness in the do-er, about the ethics behind their wrongdoings.
That they are running this grand scheme, a layer on top of the real reality, of lies and deceit. All to willingly pull to them money, power, access and exclusivity that does not belong to them!

And there is this unspoken expectation that if we find out and call them out, it will come with some sort of gratification.
Like catching someone cheating with an ace up their sleeve.

But like the villain in the movie Unbreakable said:
Villains do not know they’re villains.
In their head, everything makes sense.

So it is pointless to have a conversation with a villain, because you will never get the apology, the remorse, nor the change in behavior you want because they will simply deny it.
Either because they have buried their memory of it;

Because they have rationalized it;
Or because the consequences of admitting their wrongdoings are worse than what can happen if they keep denying it was their ace and their sleeve.
They just burrowed the vest from someone at the local casino.

The crap you will hear, my friends.

So I never call someone out over anything-
I just pull up my boundaries, so that they no longer have access to the thing they’re stealing or acquiring through me.
And if I can’t, then I acknowledge that I am in danger, should practice great caution and make it a longer term project to change the situation, so that it can be done more safely.

But whatever you do, do not deny the evilness of what you see, just because the person who is doing it, is not aware of it.
The absence of awareness is the hallmark of evil.

But the greatest trick is even less costume-dress-up-devil worthy, and even more mundane.
And for this I have another movie to quote, although its quote is not a 100% match to the point I will be making.
But the quote is too good not to use.

 “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

The Usual Suspects

The biggest evil, in the sense that it is hardest to detect, avoid, explain and nearly impossible to fight is when no one is there, to take responsibility for it.

If I would ever give a TED Talk, I may choose this subject.
The nature of evil is that no one is responsible, because there is no one there.
So in a way, the greatest evil, is that IT exists, but it no longer has a bearer!

It is a ghost.

So what is this phantom evil?

Usually the blame is put on a large and impenetrable organization.

Following examples may be specific for The Netherlands, but I fear your country wherever you live, will have similar constructions.

Banks are responsible for fraud, instead of the police.
Tax services are responsible for giving allowances instead of social services.
You have to go through an impenetrable system to make an appointment with “a” medical provider (not knowing with whom because no one is responsible).
And no one is responsible for waiting lists to public services.

During the Covid pandemic, in the Netherlands, the government piggy backed the majority of their measures onto existing small business, bigger corporations and independents.
Turning them into henchmen.

If you wanted to have a business or ran a public building or service, where you saw people in real life; In 2020-2021?
You became an enforcer of the law.

Meaning that if anything went wrong you were in a confrontation with the client, student, employee, visitor or customer, and the government did not have to police 99% of civilians.

The people who had made the laws, had given the execution to others who were already in the system (entrepreneurs and public service workers).

But it’s not just the government throwing their responsibility over the fence of course.
Every time you lose an account from Facebook, Instagram and no one is there to help you, you encounter a situation where no one is responsible because no one is there and like David to Goliath you are fighting “the system”.
Which doesn’t give you anything to hold on to.
In 2024, Goliath is a ghost.

And then you have other citizens weaponizing those government organizations or impersonal big tech companies.

Blaming a malfunction in their phone for not contacting you.
The bank for not paying you.
Postal services for not delivering the letter.

And so on.

Real evil only has one form:
It is where no one is responsible.

Either because there is no awareness, or because responsibility has symbolically, sloppily and usually very much without any consent, been transferred onto someone else.

Anyone or anything, any situation, system or any organization in your life not taking full responsibility, or not crystal fucking clear of how they are responsible and whose job it is to help you fix things when something has gone wrong;

That, is where evil lies.

every day is Lion’s Gate portal | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 08

every day is Lion’s Gate portal

You raise the bar and demand more of yourself, knowing you owe it to the ones who became before you and to higher forces.
Beyond the veil.

Supporting and guiding you every step of the way.

And that success is defined by doing today’s work.

I got on the Lion’s Gate wagon pretty late. 2020? 2021? And to this day I am on the fence about what I think about it.
Or maybe it is better to say that I instantly loved the idea of making the 8th of the 8th a special day, 8 being the number of power, money and success, but that my enthusiasm and intuitive attribution to what this mighty date was about, always preceded the official astrological interpretation.

So although I’ve seen videos, in the last couple of years, about its meaning, it never stuck as much as my intuitive feeling about it.

Technically I don’t even know if it is Lion’s Gate or Lion’s Portal or Lion’s Gate Portal?
And just like the details of its official meaning, I don’t really care.

But I will see what I can up in a few minutes about the meaning of Lion’s Gate.
Though I must warn you, that for me, what others said about it, has never really change nor particularly attributed, to my intuitive and stirring  understanding that the 8th of August, was a cosmic springboard.
An opportunity, not to be missed!

But I’ll see what the official version is.

Hold on, be right back.

The top results are from the Hindustan Times, and they point out that this year’s Lion’s Gate Portal (they too, use the three word name) is even more powerful than other years, because the numbers of the year, also add up to 8
2+0+2+4=8 

And it gives a great definition of what it is;

“The Lion’s Gate Portal physically occurs when the Sun in Leo aligns with the star Sirius, Orion’s belt, and the Earth.

This alignment happens during Leo season, from July 28 to August 12, but Lion’s Gate Portal peak time is on August 8, which is considered the most powerful day.”

source: Hindustan Times

I’ve had a mild Sirius obsession ever since I saw the series Ancient Apocalypse, pointing out how all the ancient sacred sites (which the creator of the series deems to be tens of thousands of years older than what archeologists claim they are) are built around Sirius.

And the Sirius obsession came on top of an already existing fascination with Orion, because Rutger Hauer’s Tears In The Rain monologue in sci-fi movie Blade Runner  (a 42 word speech that has its own Wiki page!) contains the words;

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.”

Orion!

And my interest in Orion was intensified with something fascinating from the world of astronomy, which I learned just last year.
That there is a star, in the “shoulder of Orion” (just that location! the shoulder of Orion!) which is dying.

Anybody who knows anything about astronomy, which obviously excludes me, but they are all watching Orion for this star, which is dying.

“Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star in the constellation of Orion.
Betelgeuse has evolved rapidly because of its large mass, and is expected to end its evolution with a supernova explosion.

When Betelgeuse explodes, it will shine as bright as the half-Moon for more than three months; life on Earth will be unharmed.”

source: Wiki Betelgeuse

Naturally, now that I have learned Lion’s Gate isn’t mere a numeric oddity, but is linked to my favorite stars Sirius and Orion, I love it even more!

So back to the Hindustan Times;

They point out the symbolic meaning of the number 8, which is in line with the off-the-cuff definition I shared with you prior.
And they point out that the number 8, when on its side, is the symbol for infinity.

Lion’s Gate is the best day of the year (I’m paraphrasing, this is me, Suzanne, no longer the Hindustan Times!) to connect with your highest dreams.
To lock in the vision and to write them out or create a vision board or another visual or actionable reminder of where you want your life to go.

I haven’t checked but I promise you that if you go on YouTube and look for Lion’s Gate Portal and Manifestation – you will find a lot of inspiration.

Or you can just use the final paragraph of the article in the Hindustan Times.

Or maybe you’re just like me and you shouldn’t really spend too much time getting into the details.
You’re good to go, just knowing this day is special.

And that the door to your unlimited potential, is wide open.

And that when one star dies;
Another one, is born.

look for the symbolism | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 07

look for the symbolism

The things you know you’ll one day be thinking, doing, owning;
The way you’ll be behaving and believing;
They’re more than a random collection.

But the blueprint of the person wanting to come out.

Every couple of weeks, and this can stretch up to two, three months, I don’t know I have never counted it, but quit frequently and consistently, there is a build-up in my house of overdue household work.
And I even came up with a classification system, a boundary which when crossed, describes that I really let livability fall by the wayside here.

It is the boundary when a living space becomes a saloon or a stall, because there is so much dirt that I brought inside the home, returning from my daily walks and from feeding the hedgehogs.
Any requests to drop by my house within hours, will be met with a firm No!
For multiple reasons, but it’s also because I know my house does not have the basics in place to welcome people in.
That I m at That Stage, again.

Naturally if I then finally clean up, usually because I have a guest coming over, I love it with all my heart and swear on all things holy I will keep it this way, from now on.
That I m never letting go of this Sanctuary Feel that my house now gives me!

Until I do of course.
And usually sooner rather than later.

It’s easier for me to commit to daily blogging, daily yoga, daily walks, and I have been consistent with the hedgehogs for years but a daily cleanup in order to keep the house livable?
Obviously my Achilles Heel.

Which wouldn’t be such a big deal, if the symbolism behind it wouldn’t be so disturbing.
Because it conveys lack of ownership.

I think what we are all secretly striving for, even from a consumer standpoint – and this is the exact reason why mindless consumption is so unsatisfactory-
What we crave for, what fills us up, and empowers us is;
Ownership.
But n
ot ownership in the literal sense, as something that strictly speaking now falls under our jurisdiction.

If I buy a purse, I am now the owner of it.
But it will not be satisfying, unless I start cultivating an active relationship to the purse.

The reason my poor housekeeping skills are a problem is because they reveal that I am not actively engaging with my surroundings.
And the house-stall-crossover that is my hallway, is a symbol of that.

And trust me when I say that unfortunately the hallway is not the only, nor the most severe area of my life, where this problem exists!
There are multiple ones.

Multiple areas that symbolize a lack of ownership.
Not the literal, but the metaphorical ownership.
I’m not showing up, I’m not in an active relationship to them.

Beware also, if you ARE in an active relationship – but it is one of problems and complications!
No good can come from that either.
Find your peace within yourself, let go of ego, panic, anxiety and so on.
Cultivate a healthy relationship to the area within yourself, first. Don’t try “fixing” this highly volatile situation.
Practice equanimity first.

So there is more to say about this, more flavors than withdrawing, not showing up. But because not-showing-up is my coping style, and not conflict, I am more knowledgeable in that area.
Which is why it is dominant in this post.

But there is also good news.
Because I really believe that when we think about what we’d like in life, we’re making things way too complicated.
In the sense that we’re aiming for new things which require more time, more money (a bigger house, a new bag) or that are even beyond our direct circle of influence (more friends, a new partner, different colleagues).
The good news is it’s not about adding the new.

What we crave is to have a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with the bag we already own, with the house where we currently live, with the people in our lives already.

The areas in your life you do not feel good about, symbolize something, yes….  For example my dirty hall symbolizes an inability to take care of my home as a whole.
But their current state, also
symbolizes something!
Chaos, lack or conflict.
Or in my case;
Neglect.

Instead of focusing on the tasks to clean the area up, or redesign it, ask yourself:

How can I make this area a symbol of * enter whatever it is you want * 

Peace.
Love.
Success.
Adventure.
Comfort.
Health.

Take a deep breath. See it for what it is, don’t move habitually, or emotionally. Take it in.

What does an area need, to be a symbol of your competence?

THE ROCK STAR

.
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.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.
