Hulk Hogan: Listen To The Silence Between Your Ears - Page 3
In an attempt to understand just what is going on here (and by the way, if you Google the words "high vibe" and "low vibe", you get some pretty interesting results, useful in their own right but not so much for this) I did a bit of research, and one name that popped up was Frederick Lenz. According to Wikipedia:
Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D., also known as "Rama" and "Atmananda" (February 9, 1950 in San Diego, California - April 12, 1998), was a spiritual leader who propounded a syncretic blend of Hinduism, Zen, Vedanta, and Mysticism; he called this syncresis "American Buddhism". Lenz was also an author, software designer, businessman, and musician. [...]Lenz remains a controversial figure. Although many of his former students continue to describe him as a gifted spiritual teacher, more than two dozen news articles have appeared in national publications in which a number of his former students allege that Lenz was an abusive cult leader. Lenz drew much criticism from the anti-cult movement.
(I'm not here to push my beliefs onto anyone, and I am not saying that Terry is definitely a follower or proponent of this particular teaching, or any other I might assume. Rather, I am saying that some of the phrases and thought processes matched. Just wanted to make that clear. Terry could have made up his own sort of thoughts concerning these things and the phrasing just happened to be similar, but it was close enough that I thought it useful to link to. And it could be anything from New Age to Scientology to psychobabble.)
My main issue with this is that Terry is not trying to teach his son personal responsibility or accountability in life. He isn't even attempting to say to his son something like, "Hey, Nick, maybe we've been wrong all these years when it came to being way too permissive with you kids...maybe your mom and I should take a step back and reassess our lives, our values, what we believe is important. And maybe, while you're in jail, you should stop and think about that, too. Y'knowwhutImean? Think about John and the hell he and his family have to live in the rest of their lives, and the emptiness state that has become John's 'live-in', and become aware of your part in putting him there. And I'll acknowledge within myself what my contribution to that was as it relates to my permissive parenting techniques. Maybe that way, when you get outta there, we can both make something of our lives, instead of continuing down the same self-destructive paths we were on before. Is that too crazy for me to lay atcha?"
