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

all right, enough with the fiction and the story-telling

… ok, enough with the fiction.

The Wakefield Doctrine is a perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up. As a perspective (note: an additional perspective) it affords one of the opportunity to appreciate reality in a slightly different way. And, with the proper intent, this means we can be better at whatever it is that we would be better at, in life.

We are, all of us, born with the potential to experience the world from one of three relationships. These three relationships are, what in less fun and useful personality schema, would be referred to as the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine:

1. the Outsider (clarks)
2. the Predator (scotts)
3. the Herd Member (rogers)

While essential to the understanding and use of the Wakefield Doctrine, we’ll return to the characteristics of the three later. (That said, most Readers who return to this site more than twice* upon understanding the nature of the what we refer to as (the three) predominant worldviews), extrapolate most of the qualities, characteristics, quirks and peccadilloes** of this thing of ours.

At a very early age, one of these three ‘realities’ becomes enduring. It is the world the child experiences. It is in context and (in) relationship to this world the individual develops the social strategies and styles of interacting with the world around them and the people who make it up. aka their personality.

(Note: we have but one predominant worldview. We retain the potential to experience the world as do ‘the other two’, these are referred to as secondary and tertiary aspects. For some these can be significant and therefore an element in their behavior, for others, barely there, no influence.)

The difference between this and other systems of understanding: we have the perfect personality type for the reality we experience, for the world in which we are living.

Before we leave for the day:

the ‘goal’ of the Wakefield Doctrine is to allow us to better appreciate how we relate ourselfs to the world around us and the people who make it up.

So today: read up (among these posts) the descriptions and characteristics of the behavior and interpretation of everyday life from the perspective of: the Outsider (’cause neither of the other two wake up in the morning and try to figure what they’ll do in the world that waits them, ‘Out there’); and the Predator (hey, did you really think they’re completely asleep and that was why they’re staring at you like that, as you insist they will benefit greatly by waiting and reflecting finding inner serenity); and the Herd Member (sorry, as friendly and organized and remarkably social, you’re the one at risk, not them, they know and will be happy, no, they will be grateful for the opportunity to show you the Right Way).

Come, on! It’s more fun than you think. Wait, given the demographic of the four-time Reader, you already know that.

Warning! If you persist in learning the realities reflected the three relationships of the Doctrine, you will begin to see the clarks, scotts and rogers in your everyday world. The thing of it is, there’s a real good chance that you won’t be able to not see the clarks, scotts and rogers in your world.

Tomorrow: ‘the Everything Rule’

* the first is chance, a good friend’s recommendation and/or  boredom; the second is confirmation to settle the ‘no, fricken way!’ and the last: ‘huh, this person reminds me of something on that site…’

** not that the Wakefield Doctrine cares about self-reported characteristics…way unnecessary
