“…of BLTs, roadtrips and self-developing oneself” the Wakefield Doctrine (we seem to have something that works!)

June 18, 2012 By

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )

You know how, when we write a Post that is just screaming ‘weird’, that we always try to end it (the Post, not the ‘weird’) with some useful in-sight into human behavior and ways that the Wakefield Doctrine can be useful? Well, let’s get useful in-sight out-of-the-way, then we can get on with the weirdosity*

We here at the Wakefield Doctrine maintain that with the ‘tools’ and insights that the Doctrine offers, anyone can change whatever in their life they might want to change.

Two things holding us back:

  1. the lack of a clear explanation of the Doctrine itself and an easy to understand Step-by-Step process to apply it
  2. and… a Poster Child !!!
Damn, we really need a Poster child! Jerry Lewis had a Poster Child, every major disease has a Poster Child, hell even those emotional rapists that put photos of abused dogs and cats on TV and actually  insist that you look at the pictures, because that is necessary to convince you to give them money. Since we are on the subject of emotional rapists, lets include those anti-smoking rogers who put out the commercials of people with cancer and dogs who smoke and who, like spoiled children, refuse to see that their campaign is so pretentious and condescending,  that rather than understand that people will not be forced to do something (or not do something) just because they say so, resort to increasingly inflammatory and at times deceitful statistics.  Who else has a Poster child? and where do we go to get one?
Why do we need a Poster Child anyway?  ’cause people are drawn to images and symbols that evoke an emotional response. The thing of it is, whenever you see any self-improvement/Change-your-Life-for-the-Better program…the first thing, the very first thing they will do is try to convince you that they used to be just like you. They will describe what they used to be like (which is you), tell you how they discovered this new, and un-heard of program and look at them now!
This is the critical ‘identification’ step found in all sales/therapy/self-improvement/spiritual enlightenment. You will believe them only if you are convinced that you have something in common. They must get you to identify with them or the sale/bad-habit-breaking/emotional growth will not succeed.  Of course, the Wakefield Doctrine is validated in this very same way.
People who have come to learn the Doctrine and go on to see a value in it, do so because they can identify with the three personality types. And the rest follows, now to get that clear and easy to understand step-by-step process and it will be biscuits and gravy from there!
Now, on to the really weird stuff!
…What? over 500 hundred words already?  damn! Be sure to come back tomorrow!  (…I’ll tell you about the RoadTrip to EYW )

 

 

*credit for this belongs to Woody Allen and/or whoever else wrote the screenplay to ‘Annie Hall’ there’s a line in the early part of the movie (I think it’s right after they go to the movies) about the…hell, it’s one of the Top Three Funny movies of all time, you need to go see it for yourself (heres a clip)

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one
