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

so… what is the point of all this?

the posts, both funny, touching and bold

the theory itself, so familiar (to some) so stupid or dumb to many?

Two words: clarks and self-improving oneself

Seeing how this is being written for the Outsiders out there (lol) we’ll keep it brief. (Notice, as we know you did, we did not promise to keep it simple, just brief).

We all have the potential to experience the world as any of the three predominant worldviews.

We ‘are’ however, of one and not three personal realities. (Our personality types are, for each of us, perfect. This because, from the Doctrine perspective, our personality reflects our best effort to contend with the world as we experience it. From, as John Sebastian says in the music vid below, “…since they’s babies”)

Where were we?

oh, yeah self-improving ourselfs.

Say, you’re a clark. You realize that, sometimes, people relate themselves to you in, like, a disrespectful manner. (ikr? lol). Sometimes it becomes more than you can stand and something happens and you act in a manner that is…quite unlike you. While you will not, by definition, be aware of this ‘altered state’ while it is occurring, you may find yourself reflecting on it at a later date. (lol… sure, try and not)

anyway. That ‘altered state’ more likely than not is what we call your secondary aspect. (There is a tertiary aspect, of course, but you’re way ahead of us already.)

short post: You do not need to ‘learn’ or ‘acquire’ something/anything that is not already a part of you. You simply need to realize it.

(Warning: Using ourselfs as an example, I’m a clark with a significant secondary scottian aspect. (no kidding, lol). But I am not a scott. A scott has trained and practiced for their entire life being the apex Predator they are. rogers too…. well, now you might want to shift your imagery to some kind of Shao Lanolin monastery and moving the hibachi from place to place in the yard.)

you know what the biggest challenge in writing posts to explain the Doctrine is? getting across the idea that personal reality is real. Here in the numerous Wakefield Doctrine blog posts, we don’t simply demonstrate/illustrate/pontificate on the characteristics of an Outsider because we developed that way. We act that way because that is the reality from which we experience the world.

Wanna hear worse than that??!  The world around us is a reality in which we are the Outsider. We’re not indulging in mumbling, hanging in the shadows, dreaming of the future while the present slips away at twenty-four hours-per-day just because it’s easy. We do that (and more) because we’re in that world.

But…but!! the Doctrine, while not an Answer, is a(n) additional perspective. A perspective on our reality and (the reality) of the world around us and the people who make it up.

Because of this perspective, we need not be trapped in the permanently separate personal reality of the Outsider.
