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

Seeing how we’re in the first week of the first month of the current year, that can mean only one thing! It’s surely that time of year when hearts seek renewal and minds strive to re-frame the context in which the world is encountered.

Given that, I thought it best to (re)address the Wakefield Doctrine’s approach to self improving oneself.

The Wakefield Doctrine’s approach to self-improvement is simplicity itself: you already know/have the skill/feel differently in whatever way self-improvement is manifesting itself. There are two key assumptions required:

1. we all live our lives in the world as characterized by one of the three worldviews; the Outsider(clarks), the Predator(scotts) and the Herd Member(rogers), but we retain the potential of the other two
2. what this means, very simply is, if I want to be more scottian (to act instead of think) or more rogerian (to belong and share the rightness of the world) or even more clarklike (to see what is not and learn what is unknown), then I have that basic potential already. (Warning: just because I have the potential to be a commanding presence like my scottian friends does not eliminate the need to practice! Even though I have within, the sea of emotion as manifested in the worldview of our rogerian friends does allow me to go out and hug everyone…at least and get away with it. The thing of it is, we all have all behaviors available, all we need to do is accept that fact and be willing to practice.)

…so there you have it! Self-improvement Doctrine-style!

You want to be more assertive at work? Know that you have within, the instinctual reflexes of the predator. Want to feel less alone, apart from the world around you? Simple enough, you have the potential to experience the day today as a Herd Member. Just give it a try.

…ok, just kidding! Well, actually not. At least not the way it may seem. The Wakefield Doctrine stands behind all of the above, with the reminder of the most essential understanding of all, and that is, the Wakefield Doctrine is about ‘how we relate ourselves to the world around us’.  Understand/ Appreciate /Accept (this), and everything else is simple.
