Great Drive last night… Cyndi and Denise and Jennifer!!   A very excellent time was had by all, you  shoulda been there.  All of which a roundabout way of saying:  if you understand the Wakefield Doctrine and correctly infer the predominant worldview of ‘the other person’, you will know more about them than they know about themselves. But thats not what today’s Post is about. Today’s Post is about….

the Progenitor roger, he say apps is the answer…

(the Question) is a) is there is a way that we haven’t tried yet to get more Comments, b) do you want to take a chance and really get out there with the Wakefield Doctrine, b₁) there you go again, finding a length of rope, tying it to a building and then the other end to your ankle, c) You don’t think I can explain it? d) all of the above.

So, I told roger that I would write a ‘setup’ from which he would have both the context and the supporting premise that would allow him to explain his idea about a Wakefield Doctrine app (and how it would benefit our efforts to get the Doctrine out to new Readers and such).

You people ready?  Please signify by nodding your head(s)…. we will wait until your finish reading.   Everyone ready?  Great!!

please give our guest your undivided attention…. roger?

As requested by Janine (‘...big sister’) and Kate  (‘...why can’t you apply yourself like her?’), et Stephanie (‘I really don’t think you should spend quite so much time with her, yes I know she seems very nice…but‘) and Dawn, (‘now there is the kind of role model you should be emulating’) here is my contribution to the nearly last (how the hell did that happen?) Friday before Summer begins (?!?#?)

When I was younger, I wanted to…    be whoever I wasn’t.

The world of a young human (and any animal) is comprised of the challenges of the world and examples of how to cope with those challenges. For the very young, the world is all about looking up and looking out to, when we are little we are constantly falling behind and being alone (if only temporarily). Before we grow up we know dependency and rebellion and we become who we are to be, by the age of 5. To be this young is to be a little version of a larger person, however it is not like being a midget, it is more like being a clown; it is not like being un-formed, rather it is about being a grain of sand with the beginnings of layers of nacre; it is not about carrying on tradition, it is about playing according to the Rules.

When I was young I felt that being younger was my responsibility and that I was expected to overcome it. This was not an instruction or implication, direction or demand from anyone, it was my assumption. Being young I did not see (the) forest from the trees, right from wrong, the better part of valor, (that) hard work was its own rewards, or that to the victor goes the spoils. Instead, because I was young (and a clark), I saw that the world was all around me, that people were friendly and mean, strangers were interesting and kind, that school was easy and horrible.

When I was just young and I wanted to be whoever I wasn’t?  …that was not because I didn’t want to be myself. It was because I looked around and saw people (apparently): not concerned with fitting in, getting permission, being self-conscious, resisting the urge to cry, holding back and not striking out, sharing without the need to qualify, being wrong without feeling less than, being happy because they all knew each other, living a life without thought and reflection.

…and so, I looked at the world as being ‘out there’ and I learned how to be intelligent, I discovered a place within where ‘what wasn’t was’, I convinced the people in my world that I felt like they did, and I watched and tried to learn.

…guess I succeeded.

Hey, you got questions? We will totally answer them, you know.

clarks: the Outsiders, for them the world is ‘out there’

scotts: the Predators, live to act/act to live

rogers: the Herd Members, they know that the universe is quantifiable and there are Rules (‘referential authority’)

Hey! I got a Comment!  from Noah Conti @ yahoo.com, and he says,

“This post presents clear idea designed for the new visitors of blogging, that really how to do blogging.”

I suspect someone’s soon-to-be-world-famous-personality-types-blog is on someone’s spam list!  lol

Question from Considerer question:

“Yeah I’d like to know my secondary aspect, after all, knowledge is power…”

When you first practice inferring another person’s predominant worldview, you watch a person and look through the ‘lens’ of the three worldviews. (Often, it is helpful to pick which of the three is pretty damned unlikely and then focus and then begin to compare the remaining two)…watching for the sense of consistency between the observed behavior and what you know about the characteristic behavior of the worldview being held up for comparison. Keep doing this until you feel comfortable with your choice. Want to hear 2 encouraging facts? a) you can’t get it wrong¹ and 2) you can’t break it².

From Denise is this Questionment:

“It’s been said around the Doctrine that it’s like learning a second language. The goal being to eventually think in “Doctrine” … woke up today remembering a snippet of dream.”

Good! The goal is to have the perspective of the Doctrine practiced so that it is not work to apply in the course of your day. A note here to Readers who may be expecting more from this personality theory than we intend. Of late, I have been in conversation with Friend of the Doctrine, Molly, on this very question, i.e. does the Doctrine require total commitment in order to have any value to the individual? ( I may not totally appreciate Molly’s position on this topic, but that in and of itself is the reason for allowing that more is better than less, when it comes to the ways that we view the world around us⁵⁾.  I do say that, as a tool for self-development and self-improvement, the Wakefield Doctrine will prove to be without peer. However, it is still simply a perspective. A way to view the world and the people in it.
Just as becoming fluent in a second (or third or fourth) language, should not interfere with your native language, acquiring an understanding of the Wakefield Doctrine need not cause any conflict with whatever belief system you may choose to employ in your day-to-day, ‘my god! I really thought I knew them better than that! How could they say a thing like that?’…activities. (lol)

So, as with so much in life, the greater the range of your experience in day-to-day living, the better are the chances at getting this thing right!⁶

Readers familiar with the Doctrine, seeing two partially italicized block-quotes, have stopped reading and gotten up to get a re-fill on their coffee, tea or whatever tasty beverage they may be sipping. The common reaction, among Readers familiar with these pages is, ‘oh goody/hot shit! one of those Posts!
If you are a new Reader, let me simply say… the Wakefield Doctrine is a perspective, a tool, a personality theory that,  if you are willing to allow yourself to see the world as being comprised of people who are living in one of three characteristic worldviews, will give you an insight into the behavior of the people in your life. With the Wakefield Doctrine you can know more about the other person than they know about themselves… while they may know the ‘what’ of their behavior, you will know the ‘why’. Warning to new Readers, if you are successful in learning the simple suppositions, then you will begin to see the clarks that are in your life (there is a passing good chance that you yourself are one) and the scotts (we know they are there...) and the rogers (if they’re not on bicycles or in their workshops, they can often be difficult to distinguish from scotts). And….and! if you succeed in being able to see them, there is a really good chance that you will not be able to stop seeing them. Hey, what can I say?

Today’s Post is, in fact, one of those Posts.

To answer the question⁷ asked by Considerer:  well, the best approach is to establish the person’s predominant worldview and then look for anomalies.  Cyndi is a clark (like you didn’t know that in the first encounter…) but there she is, not only doing video Posts (a totally not clarklike activity), she is doing them effectively, more to the point she is enjoying doing them…thriving in that context. So, which of the 3 personality types are the natural performer, the front man?  …exactly!
Today’s 2 videos are from Jimi Hendrix. Now, he might be confusing because his secondary aspect is so very strong. Man! he’s got to be a scott!!  right?  well, most of us would go with that pick… (see footnote 2) until you see an interview of him. Then you totally know that he was a clark. So, the rogerian Reader is quick to ask, “how do you know he’s not a scott with a secondary clarklike aspect, huh? how do you know that?” Great question.  The answer to this is the same as the basic description of the Wakefield Doctrine, ‘how does the person appear to relate themselves to the world around them?’

1) if you guess wrong and continue to try and understand a person using the Doctrine, you will see the inconsistencies, example: you think you have a scott but occasionally you see him acting like a girl³, then you make a note to yourself, ‘hey! wait a minute  this might just be a roger!

2)  by this we mean that, lets say you decide you are a clark, but you also find yourself totally obsessed with genealogy and think ‘damn I guessed wrong, now what?  Not a problem. Calling yourself a scott if you are really a clark, does not even change a thing. At any point you can go back and hold up the lens (of the three worldviews) and see which of the three your behavior seems most in focus in…er  with… whatever. As you learn more about the characteristics and gain a deeper insight and a certain fluency, you will want to do this, just for the fun of it!

3) scotts and most clarks will get this joke, if you do not, quick write us a Comment and ask!  I can esplain everything!⁴

4) though it will no longer be funny… ha ha

5) probably only true for clarks… seeing how we can accept anything (as being possible)

6) promise that is the last clark-centric joke in this Post.

7) lol yeah! I know… we tend to wander a bit, hey all the better to appreciate the questions!

The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that we all develop and grow up in one of three characteristic ‘personal realities’ (we call them worldviews) and it is the nature of these worldviews that accounts for what is referred to as personality type. The Wakefield Doctrine goes so far as to say that personality types (at least in terms of the three types found in this here Doctrine here) are nothing more (or less) than successful adaption to the conditions one finds oneself living in. If you are a child and you wake up and find yourself living in a reality¹ in which you are an Outsider it is inevitable that you will learn to:

• avoid the spotlight (the better to avoid having to answer questions relating to ‘who the hell are you and how did you get in here?!?’) and you
• develop a very acute sense of extrapolation which allows you to put together seemingly un-related facts, sentence fragments, ideas and inferences, (the better to understand what is going on among the real people you find yourself surrounded by, they all clearly know something that you should know but do not) and you
• discover that you are creative in ways that seem to start where everyone else starts but somehow (your creative efforts) tie together parts of your world that you did not realize even existed, never mind were related, (the better to feel that you are not useless and without value, having no openly recognized credentials that allow you to belong)

But today is Mother’s Day! So what does the Wakefield Doctrine have to say about Mothers and their Day and us… ?

Well mostly the Wakefield Doctrine says that ‘if you can succeed in correctly inferring the worldview of the person (‘the Mother’ in this case) then you will know more about them than they will know about themselves‘. Pretty reasonable statement, non?  (oh! oh!! almost forgot!!  we also say… ‘this Doctrine thing, what with all the insight and understanding and more-than-they-know-about-themselves and such?  well, it’s for you, not for them. )

In any event. mothers are:

1. clarks  ’cause they totally got you to love reading, cause they made more food than could possibly be consumed, were self-less to a fault…so frickin much that (if you happen to be a clark, yourself) you noticed that they felt different and less than the other mothers…and this when you were still like 5 or 6 years old!
2. scotts because all your friends wanted to go to your house, (this at all age stages from 5 up to 16 and both genders), she was totally able to get everyone to pay attention and she would even yell at your friends (and their parents didn’t get mad!) she was so energetic that (if you happen to be a scott, yourself) you noticed that pushing was alright up until everyone got it right, and it wasn’t to be mean or anything… it was fun and
3. rogers she gave you the sense that there really wasn’t anything that you could not be prepared for, if only you focused and studied and that family was the point of it all….family history to put more of a point on it, the adventures and accomplishments of family members (living or dead) were yours…provided you worked to add to this list of accomplishments and she taught you (if you happened to be a roger, yourself) to work hard and not be shy along as you had something you could be proud of and everyone would understand

Happy Mother’s Day to those who are celebrating, as well as those being celebrated.

1)  when we say reality, we totally mean reality…. not ‘just because you don’t want to face it‘ and not..’you’re being stubborn’ and totally not, ‘it’s as plain as the nose on your face, just open your eyes and face reality‘  Sorry. The Doctrine says, to the degree that differences are ascribed to the three worldviews, that is the reality for the person inhabiting the reality in question. Give up on the notion that, if for instance, you are a scott and you are talking to a clark about how to interview for a job, they will see what you see. Not only will they not see (what you see) there will be things in their version of the job interview that plain does not exist (for you) in your reality. This is the core genius of the Doctrine.

hey, call us tonight! 8 to 8:45 pm  we promise to be there *

Our steadfast friends, Janine and Kate and Stephanie and Kate and Amy and Considerer and… Cyndi  do week in retrospect Posts. Well, actually not all of them…just a few of them, but they are still Friends of the Doctrine so go read, already. In any event, at the Doctrine we don’t so much do a ‘week in review’ as much as a ‘since-we-started-writing-this in review’ Posts. (Mostly, but not exclusively on weekends and then only when I read one of those ‘Related Post’ suggestions at the bottom of the Post, usually I use the ones that either a) make me laugh or 2) make me think, ‘what?!?! I wrote that?  what the hell!

So here you are:

‘but, thats impossible!’ clarks, the Wakefield Doctrine and changing reality

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine!  The only self-improvement Movement that is based on the fact that all people are born with the potential to experience the world in one of three characteristic ways, as a clark or (as a) scott or (as a ) roger.

(What do you mean, tomorrow’s guest  ‘is not lined up yet’? How can it be Thursday frickin morning and no guest arranged for Video Friday!!??)

The reason that we call the Wakefield Doctrine a ‘self-improvement Movement’  is that, despite the fact that we all settle into one of  three personality types (usually by the age of 4 or 5), we never lose the capacity to experience the world the way that the other two types do!   As  a self-improvement movement,  we believe that change and development can only come from the individual. Furthermore, it is our conviction that most conventional approaches, belief systems and treatment modalities such as  MBTA, Oscar, Meyers & Briggs, and colorgenics*,  totally miss the mark because they insist on a  focus predicated on what is wrong with the individual.  This is not inconsistent with the ‘disease model’ that dominates most sort of the disease model, ‘cept they are talking about your life, your actual reality that you live and breathe in every day. They want you to believe that it is you that is the problem, not ‘the world’ (or the people in it).

(Seriously…you are supposed to have at least a hint at who tomorrow’s Video interview guest was going to be!!  “We have the rest of today”…now what the hell is that supposed to mean?!)

This is different!  Here at the Doctrine we say, ‘hey, it is not you! It’s the world that you are living in!!’ That’s right, you read that correctly. We maintain that most of the problems that people encounter, on a day-to-basis is a world that is a perfect reflection of their personality type. A clark will encounter a world that has everything they need to be healthy, yet perpetually dissatisfied outsiders; the scotts reading this will look up from their computers and see: prey and predators and a world of action and adventure and our rogerian friends will bask in the glow of knowing that they are the center of the universe and (because of this smug knowledge) will know that all is right with the world.

( So, what you are telling me is that we don’t have a guest lined up for tomorrow’s Video Friday??! I don’t care who you thought you had! No, we are not going to do a re-run! Get someone on the phone and set up the interview).

Sorry about the slightly contrived-sounding asides in today’s Post. The fact of the matter is that we have come to like the idea of interviewing people for Video Friday, but the person I thought I might get, I still have not made the connection with in order to do the interview. Anyone of you Readers up for a telephone interview about the Wakefield Doctrine and it’s benefits? Write a quick comment (your email won’t show publicly, of course), I will follow-up and let you know how these interviews are done. Actually, no secret there; I get in my car, put the Wakefield Doctrine hat on my damn dashboard and dial your number. I ask questions about what you like about the Doctrine and how you explain it to people, we chat a little and thats it! All in about 8 minutes. So write me a Comment, already!

Well, lets put up a video and we will hope for the best. Hey, if tomorrow you have to sit through a video of a clark explaining about clarks, don’t blame us! Hey! did you know that Jimi Hendrix was a clark? Well he was!

(since this is the Wakefield Doctrine and we maintain that there are three characteristic worldviews (personal realities), it would only be right that we finish this sentence in three ways**)

worldview of the Predator (aka scotts): ” fuck!!!! yeah!!!!”

worldview of the Herd Member (aka rogers): (smiles)

* …cultural reference to cartoon feline, if you need to know, write a Comment

** don’t forget! you have one predominant worldview and the (possibility of) secondary and tertiary worldviews that usually result in people saying, “Hey Doctrinaires! sometimes I know I am a roger but other times I must be a scott! What gives?” What gives is that a) these worldviews are characteristical and not exact, the same in every damn tiny detail yo,  2) the secondary and tertiary aspects shade and influence the world…  why don’t ya just call us Saturday Night, we’ll explain ever thang

The Wakefield Doctrine is all about how we relate ourselves to the world around us.  The Wakefield Doctrine is built on the idea that everyone experiences reality, to a certain extent, as a personal affair and we call these affairs, worldviews. The Wakefield Doctrine is predicated on the notion that there are three characteristically distinct (and distinguishable) worldviews, and if you ask someone who understands the Wakefield Doctrine what these three worldviews are all about, they will tell you:  it is about being the Outsider, knowing that you can never assume to ‘be a part of’; and they will tell you that one of the three worldviews is the reality of the Predator who lives in and of action, (a person)  for whom the world is the ‘here and now’; finally she will tell you that some people grow up secure in the knowledge that the world is quantifiable, that there exists Rules and (a) Right Way of living. The Wakefield Doctrine is about seeing the world as the other person is experiencing it,  knowing and accepting that when the other person, your husband/your sister/your pupil/your customer/your date/your enemy/your Doctor/the-person-stealing-the-parking-place-you-were- trying-for-and-would-already-be-in-if-you-had-not-been-so-damned-polite/the surly kid at the hardware store/the girl at the checkout counter who smiles as you realize that she doesn’t even register your existence/the new boss, so anxious to impress his boss/the girl you were afraid to ask out but decided to try-having-a-normal-life-just-one-more-time/the parent in the hospital bed that they will never leave/the child that you take to the bus top the very first time, full of hope and fear/the husband who says that he would never do anything to hurt you but….

So, you think this Wakefield Doctrine might be useful to you? in your life? We bet it can! if… your wife seems to ignore the things that matter the most to you, if you get mad when people just fuckin stand there and talk about what they are going to do instead of just doing it, if you want to hide but are afraid of being left behind in life, if you know that there is more to the friends that you thought you had, even though they don’t seem to bother calling you anymore more, if you want to stop the bad habits, if you keep thinking that there has to be a way to figure it all out, if you are tired of seeing others lead happy normal lives and you know that they are not that different, if you think that you could use an edge, if you feel that knowing more about the people in your life would make it richer and more fulfilling, if you just want to be sure…

yeah there is something in the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine that might help.

Today at 3:30 EDT  if you call this number  218-339-0422  and do what the nice woman sez including entering this code: 512103 followed by the # sign   … you just might find some people happy to tell you what they know and are happy to hear what you know  about this understanding people stuff.

Like we say, ‘if you learn and use the Wakefield Doctrine as a tool for understanding people, you need never find yourself saying, “I really thought I knew him better than that! How could they say such thing, what would make her do something so thoughtless!” ‘

Will be posting a reminder of the Wakefield Doctrine’s AP/AS/SH¹ which is to commensurate² at 3:30pm tomorrow Thursday the 9th. You are all invited to call and join in the discussion.³ There will be a raffle⁴ and refreshments. And….and you may bring a blanket, in case you feel a need to napate at any point in the hour.

There are some who are advising me to ‘stop being so….weird/silly/funny’ in my approach to trying to present the Wakefield Doctrine to an increasingly larger audience. They suggest that, while it may be valid to have fun while trying to show people the benefits of this unique perspective, I am limiting my (potential) audience. To their credit, they did go to the effort to come up with an amusing example of what they meant: ‘Martin Luther never told jokes’⁵

So…those of you inclined to write Comments, speak of your opinion on this matter…( er  please.)

….

(no, don’t!)

….but
(come on! you’re doing so well with this so far….)

(…remember what Molly said and she’s right ya know)

a) hey, it happens, gimme a break

5) Martin Luther:

Martin Luther (German: [ˈmaɐ̯tiːn ˈlʊtɐ]; 10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German monk, former Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of a reform movement in sixteenth century Christianity, subsequently known as the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God’s punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.

Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Those who identify with Luther’s teachings are called Lutherans.

His translation of the Bible into the vernacular (instead of Latin) made it more accessible, which had a tremendous impact on the church and on German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the writing of an English translation, the King James Bible. His hymns influenced the development of singing in churches. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant priests to marry. (courtesy of wikipedia.com  and them)

Shit.

Reluctant decision, after forced-into-decision, followed by lesser-of-two-evils decisions and there you are, stuck in your seat in class with nothing more on your desktop than a folder (one of those drugstore binders with the little square windows built into the covers (that rectangular window is created with a clear material that you know must be the ‘plasticene’ that the Beatles sang about) and inside the square window are the words: ‘the Wakefield Doctrine (an alternate perspective on personality and personality types)’ and when you open the cover (an improbable pale blue-greenish color) you see one page with the words.  ’The purpose of this paper….’   (you know, the weird thing is not that you have not completed the assignment that you know you are capable of completing, no the weird thing is that you are feeling self-conscious…in advance of the words, “Mr Clark…. your Report, please’)

(ahem,,,,)  the purpose of this Post is…

In the week coming, we will:

1. return to the Comment/Question posed by Amy (Adorable Chaos) that asked what our personality theory had to offer her (…being beset on all sides by a scott and/or a scott with a little faux pack of rogers),
2. describe our first Thursday Wakefield Doctrine AP Study Hour (and announce the time of this week’s Hour)
3. talk about the Wakefield Doctrine book
4. write 2 participatory Posts: one tomorrow on Tuesday ( Twisted Mix-tape Tuesday hosted by Jen and Kristi ) and FTSF ( the tilt ‘n whirl of blog hops presented by our Four Sistas:  Janine and Kate and Stephanie and Dawn )
5. and finish this Post… which while it may not seem important, I have come to believe, courtesy of DownSpring Cyndi, that there are ‘Read-blogs-days’ of the week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday),  so I damn well better find a way to provide you, my Monday Readers, with a little more in content than a catchy Title and a numbered bullet list.

The Wakefield Doctrine says this: we all experience the world in what you might call a personal reality (we call it a ‘worldview’). Now this idea of a personal reality is nothing radical, no ability to fly… no invisibility (well, except for clarks) and no unicorns ( have you read the description of the worldview of scotts?! unicorns? nooo sorry, all chased off or eaten).
Anyway.
Personal reality is simply meant to designate character of the world as we experience it, the ‘inside view’, if you will. We are all born with the potential to experience three distinctly characteristic realities: the world of the Outsider (clarks), the reality of the Predator (scotts) and the life of the Herd Member (rogers). At an early age, we ‘pick’ one of these three and grow and mature, responding and reacting and developing traits, strategies and behaviors appropriate to the worldview we inhabit. clarks are very creative because they see everything from a distance, not conditioned or indoctrinated into ‘the right way’, scotts are confident to a fault, simply because in order to survive as a predator time spent in introspection is time spent being eaten by a larger scott …and rogers, they make such ‘good’ managers because they know that everyone and everything will be so much better once they understand ‘the Proper Way’.

So, for the Wakefield Doctrine, personality types are not habitual ways of responding to situations in life, personality types are reflections of the world as the person experiences it.

The big thing for those looking to use the Wakefield Doctrine as a way of understanding the behavior of the people in their lives is that, while we all inhabit one of the three worldviews described here, we never lose the capacity to see the world ‘as do the other two types’ do. In other words, I am a clark, but somewhere within is everything I would need to live successfully in the worldview of a scott….or a roger.  Herein lies the key to the Wakefield Doctrine being a tool for self-improving yourself.
Quick example: DownSpring Cyndi. A clark. We all know that you can spot a clark at family reunions ’cause they are the ones behind the camera. Show me people at a get together where some one whips out a camera and I will show you the clark…they are ones that volunteer to take the photos. In any event, clarks hate to have their pictures taken (and they are not wild about being tape recorded).  Cyndi has started to do a series of video Posts. They aren’t just good. They are amazing. I say this because as you watch them, you are not seeing a clark ‘toughing it out’ enduring the fear and revulsion of being on ‘film’. You are seeing a clark using a portion of (her) scottian aspect. (scotts, as we all know, loves the spotlight, they are natural performers.) Cyndi has managed to access that aspect of herself (remember, we always retain the abilities to experience the world as do ‘the other two’). How cool is that?  Example: Video Post

Enough. It’s Monday and the alphabet, like a fuse has ticked itself down to clark…. time to “hit that streets a- runnin’ ”
