Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Well, I best get to typin
the Wakefield Doctrine is a perspective on the world we live in, the people we interact with, the life we hope to lead. the Wakefield Doctrine is a tool and it’s a toy, serving as a diversion when the world is acting out just a little too much and it’s very useful as a way to put the sometimes, baffling shenanigans of the people who make up our world in a perspective that helps us see that the world is, in a weird way, all about us. yeah, I know… the world does not revolve around me and the world was not put here today just to make my life: terrible/intriguing/puzzling/aggravating and the other ‘-ings’ that I find myself musing about in the course of the day today.
But it is. all about me…and (it’s) all about you.
Hey! sometimes people say, so tell us why you seem to have some people coming around (which implies that this Doctrine thing isn’t total gibberish) and yet you don’t have, like, tons of people coming around (which says something about either those people or about the Doctrine)… huh, what’s up with that??
Whats up with that is that the one quality that is shared by the people you see coming around here and leaving Comments and reporting back their own insights and perspective on the use and abuse of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers, is that they have the ability to imagine. No, wait, I know that you have, hell, everyone has the ability to imagine, but the people around here have what we used to call, flexibility of intelligence. This term is an awkward way of saying that, they can imagine the world differently and then try acting appropriate to this difference. These people can play with the notion that reality is, to a certain extent personal and not universally consistent. Most importantly, the people who hang out at the Doctrine are people know that the world is a personal affair and that if they see something or someone acting in a way that makes no sense, they can (and often do) ask themselves, ‘what might it be that this person is experiencing that I do not?’
….back to the ‘the world revolves around me’ well, if it doesn’t revolve around you, who does it revolve around? Just messin with ya. I don’t mean to say anything too outrageous. Oh, have we mentioned the fact that, from the perspective of the Wakefield Doctrine, you, each and everyone of you reading this, you live in the perfect world? Yep!
out of time! But!! Cynthia is around this week… be sure to stop by and say ‘Hidy!’ down at ‘the ‘tude’ and we were thinking about a mid-week get together. stay tuned! it’ll be fun!
Chapter 10 of ‘Blogdominion‘ is on the newsstands! go read it! hurry before it turns into ‘War and Peace’ and you’ll think that it’ll take too much time to read the backstory. (If you feel that way, call on Friday or Saturday or write a Comment, and I’ll get you a personal Cliff Notes. no! serially!

skillfull commentationer! New Readers!! read and learn! when you see no other comments it is totally proper to claim FRIST and then read the Post lol
Yeah…mid-week get together. And The ‘Tude…is going away….in favor of a new site that I’ve been working on since like…October. It will probably go live next week. Got lots of work to do. :P The ‘Tude will be archived into a handy file and perhaps migrated to a free platform or…not. Not sure. :) But it’s okay. It’s time to retire the old girl. I hadn’t wanted to for a long time, but…I gotz somethin up my sleeve…as I always do. :D
lets fine tune the time as we get through today (Denise also has this week off) but I don’t
{::} be sure to let us all know when you go live…. want to make sure I update the blogroll… hey! seeing how it’s always been ‘the tude’ on the roll, this is a pretty big occasion… if you would like to write a ‘Press Release/Announcement/Hey!! Did ja hear the news as a Post or a partial Post here in the Doctrine… be totally happy to run it (any day ‘cept Thursday. Thursday being Six Day)looking forward to it…
well, time I got myself back to work (“Hey! clark..are you working? That doesn’t look like any kind of work that I’ve ever seen!” Yeah, no Mr clark I’m working…really believe me!”)
Oh and what about Wednesday? Afternoon? Early evening? What about Denise?
Wednesday sounds good… suggest a window… see what D has for time… call in (audio) or video (video)… or maybe “Take a virtual friend for a trip to a local attraction day!” more to follow
Wednesday. 3pm. What say you? And D?
I think that’s a good time. vid or aud?
Vid Chat Wednesday? Some good insights into the reasons for the doctorine in this post. Perhaps a prologue to the longer work. (I loved Chapter 10)
Ya kno-ow…what the Doctrine has done for me dont’cha? Huh?! Huh?!
I’ll tell you. Remember how the catch phrase when someone did something outrageous or irritating or whatever was “what’s your problem!”. Well, post Doctrine, I ask my own self “what’s my problem!”
If someone’s behavior is puzzling to me it’s up to me to figure out why.
So what do I do? Identify them. scott? roger? (nope. I don’t need to include my own people, I’m pretty much clued in. most of the time anyway!)
Knowing the world in which another walks, how they relate themselves to the world, well, that’s a plus in my column right off the bat!
Being able to determine what a thing or event represents to that other person, ya know, via their personal reality is huge. Huge.
So when my gut reaction might be a “wtf, you ass$%^*, that’s me reacting as a clark. But if I know why the person did what they did (based on worldview), then in all likelihood I’ll have another reaction.
Make sense?
Hey ho! Mid week sounds great. Hello Cyndi!! Val, I’ll see/hear you then!
