I’m post­ing the intro­duc­tion to this week’s Free Will Astrol­o­gy newslet­ter because I found it so apt. It explains exact­ly why I don’t have the TV news on, why I don’t read or watch much dark or depress­ing stuff, why I great­ly pre­fer hero­ic sto­ries in gen­er­al, why I want to hear (and make) music that makes me feel good.

DEAR BEAUTY AND TRUTH FANS,

The poet Muriel Rukeyser said the uni­verse is com­posed of sto­ries, not atoms.

The physi­cist Wern­er Heisen­berg declared that the uni­verse is made of music, not matter.

And I believe that if you habit­u­al­ly expose your­self to tox­ic sto­ries and music, you could wind up liv­ing in the wrong universe—a uni­verse where it’s impos­si­ble to become what you were born to become. 

I bring this up, Beau­ty and Truth Fans, because it has nev­er been more impor­tant for you to nour­ish your­self with right­eous tales and tunes. Your imag­i­na­tion has been under attack for years, and the offen­sive is con­stant­ly build­ing in strength. By the esti­mate of my team of prayer war­riors, 95 per­cent of all the sto­ries cur­rent­ly being sent your way by the news and enter­tain­ment indus­tries are com­posed of nasty psy­chic garbage. This flood con­sti­tutes a stu­pen­dous act of black mag­ic that is unprece­dent­ed in the his­to­ry of the world.

What are you going to do about it? 

My first sug­ges­tion is to pro­tect your­self. Be very dis­cern­ing about what sto­ries, images, and sounds you allow to enter into the holy tem­ple of your imagination. 

My sec­ond sug­ges­tion is to seek out sto­ries, images, and sounds that will inspire you to exer­cise your willpow­er for your own high­est good. 

But do you even know where to look for tales and tunes that resound with redemp­tion, integri­ty, inspi­ra­tion, break­through, eth­i­cal suc­cess, joy, har­mo­ny, delight, sweet orgasm, wise pas­sion, and emo­tion­al wealth and health? Are there reli­able sources of beau­ty, truth, love, and good­ness where your soul can
go to feed?
