Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Speaking of the the Everything Rule… (well, we were yesterday).
So here are three movie actors playing the role of Satan/the Devil/Lucifer
Can you see how the predominant worldview of the actors results in a different depiction of this rather culturally-durable figure?
Anticipatory Response: the Everything Rule states: “Everyone does everything, at one time or another.” In terms of the perspective(s) of the Wakefield Doctrine it simply means, there is no such ‘thing’ as something that is of the exclusive domain of a clark (or) a scott (or) a roger. We all exist in what is safest to refer to as a common reality*. “That is something only a scott would do.” “Acting like that is so rogerian, too bad I’m a clark, I’d love to be that self-absorbent.”
To account for what is often very different ways, (among the three predominant worldviews), we employ the ‘manifest’. “Hey! I need a finish carpenter, do you know any rogers in that part of the business.” “The award to the top real estate agent in the office, this year is a tie! It goes to rogerian male and scottian female!”
‘Yeah, but, you’re talking about actors playing parts. They are working from a script, thats not the real person being the devil. Blame the writer.’
We’ll let the New Readers find their way to reconciling the person and the role, at their own pace. The journey is the trip.
But! Lookee here! The role of the devil as (manifested) ‘delivered’ by a clarklike, scottian and rogerian actor.
We’ll let you sort ’em out.
*
Predominant worldview 1 (Robert DeNiro as Lucifer)
Predominant worldview 2 (Al Pacino as Satan)
Predominant worldview 3 (Gabriel Burns as the Devil)
* while predicated on the concept of personal reality, and much as we’d like to see it, just because our reality is personal to us versus your’s to you, sorry, no secret ability to fly or be invisible or be emotion-proof.

Thought-provoking!
Thanks, Reena
The ‘personality types’ (predominant worldviews) have an external consistency that still surprises me, after all these years.
The key, of course, is how it is based on how (a) person relates themselves to the world around them, as an Outsider, a Predator or a Herd Member. Everything they do is shaped and framed (we say in the Doctrine, ‘…based on how the person experiences the world around them and the people who make it up’). Even an actor (or a musician or a carpenter) will do what they do such that they reflect the reality they exist in*
The fun here is, while we ‘all know who the Devil/Satan/Lucifer is, an actor provides their own interpretation… the cool thing about the Doctrine is that if you know the three types (and therefore their characteristic expressions you can identify them and, in reverse you can watch a person and infer how they are relating themselves to the world around them.)
the scottian personality type tends to be easiest to identify: the easy exuberance, the barely restrained energy as Pacino exhibits. (Sometimes the distinctions are not so clear and then what you do is compare two, side-by-side and see which is most consistent with the behaviors of one type against the other
DeNiro is controlled, restrained his emotion (he is, in the clip, the devil Lou Cypher) all the power is in the words, but like they are being read from a piece of paper and, the last, a roger tends to be emotional (but, inwardly directed emotion, a touch of the personal melodrama the Gabriel Byrne portrayal of the devil.
such fun!
*of course, the Wakefield Doctrine is but one more perspective on the world, in addition to, not the final say… more perspectives on the world are better than less
