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

They say, the tools for self-improving oneself contained in the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine, are second to none.

They, no matter how often they change sides, are pretty damn right!

But, you say, “Who needs to improve”, asked the scott. “Yeah, what she said and, besides, who asked you?” agreed the roger.

“No one,” mumbled the clarks, words filtered through hands-to-face and makeup’d eyes. Even on the word, ‘No’ they became less distinct, more part of the background, more…. “Who was that standing next to you? I’d swear there was someone there…” a tilt to the head, as if hearing something unusual… which is not a new experience to an Outsider, yet familiar somehow, which has happened, from time to time… then a pause a recognition of something that they knew but believed they did not know…the existence of other clarks.

Being careful not to focus too clearly, lest well-intentioned, but badly misinterpreted, feelings should cast too much light, we see the other Outsiders.

Clamping down on the congenital reaction, “Well, I knew they were there..” we let the fact simply be. Like staring at your hands in a dream, the important thing becomes apparent: while you can’t see an Outsider directly, you can feel their existence. With discipline that becomes sufficient and the growing of identification begins.

Claiming the right to shameless self-promotion, courtesy of our weak, tertiary rogerian aspect, here is a video clip. (New Readers? If you’ve been doing your homework, you will immediately recognize a scott in the vid. Depending on your own clarklike aspects, we can assure you, the other person is a clark.)

Evidence of Efficacy of the Wakefield Doctrine as a tool for self-improving oneself:

Sorry, if you’re a New Reader, clarks are the original photo-phobes. But you knew that. What the Doctrine can offer, by way of helpful insight, is the balancing contrast of the three predominant worldviews. Meaning, there is a relationship among the three that can be quite helpful. (Well, duh! The Wakefield Doctrine tells us, right up front, that we’re all born with the capacity to experience the world as an Outsider, a Predator and a Herd Member. It also reminds us that, even though we develop our personalities in one (and only one) of these three, we never lose the capacity to experience the world as do ‘the other two’.)

hint…hint on that last line. thats where the self-improvement piece of the puzzle is hidden.
