Trance Music

Dear Heather,
I was wondering, is listening to post-industrial trance/dance music harmful? I mean psychologically and spiritually? Also, I have heard a quote somewhere that goes something like this: "Think anything you want; only obey!" What do you make of this statement?

Dear Rhodri,
I think this statement was created by an institution that wants to control your body but not your mind. In some ways, that is nice. However, I don't like the mandate to obey. This part disturbs me. As for the trance/dance music, I see no harmful effects. In fact it seems possible to derive spiritual benefits from the hypnotic beat.
Keep on keeping on,
Heather
