Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
What would you like to know today?
How to apply the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine to your day today so as to have an even better day?
What is the single most important fact about the Wakefield Doctrine?
The reason for this ‘personality theory’ to even exist, much less be promulgated, proselytized, advocated and otherwise pushed on an unsuspecting internet readership comprised of those looking to be entertained and/or distracted from a life clearly lacking?
Those?
Or maybe,
Why have 2,607 posts been posted, many of which, such as this one, have been unabashedly held up as a repeat of the same insight?
Surely some Readers are thinking, ‘What will you use for a musical accent to this …’post’?”
Many are, with an eye towards the time thinking, ‘Are you done now? Can I safely compose and add a thoughtful comment?’
Sure*
* nope, nothing here. unless you’re suspecting a decoder ring message**…
#the Doctrine is for you; not them #reality is, to a small but quite real degree, personal; #there are three characteristic modes of relating to the world, as an Outsider, a Predator and a Herd Member; #everyone does everything, at one time or another; the Power is found in accepting and appreciating how we relate ourselves to the world around us and the people who make it up
** Decoder Rings! Surely the apps of the 1950s and early 1960s. Probably should figure out how to construct one.
If you look at it that way, everything you learn, including this personality theory, is part of a decoder ring for “how the world works”.
Yes ma’am*
for a start (for clarks)
*But with everything you understand (i.e. know and appreciate** the world itself becomes more and more)
** the emotional equivalent of learning
The theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. The primer (yeah, “old person” word) if ever there was one, for clarks.
Came across a quote once by Agatha Christie, “fear is incomplete knowledge”. Sounds like a clark to me, lol
So, we have a primer / we have learning, appreciation, identification/ we have Fear(oh,yes)/= incomplete knowledge/ and my favourite quote To understand is to transform what is.
What other ingredients?
the combination
(learn: clarks appreciate: scotts identification: rogers)
We acknowledge the slight chance of straying into taking liberties with words (no, really sometimes)… but, as we know, the ultimate utility of the Wakefield Doctrine lies in it being a perspective (and a tool) to aid in the efforts to bring together the three predominant worldviews into one dynamically-balanced whole
(well, since you’re asking, still a work in progress but as with any effort at true self-understanding every steps is in the right direction)
ya know?
