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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weakly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Founded in 1978 by Lizzi R, this ‘hop has provided safe haven, nurturing encouragement to an unsuspecting Readership each and every week. Visitors are treated to an array of finely crafted Lists that focus on the experience of the authors in the previous week that have involved people. places and things inspiring a psycho-emotional state of gratitude. And, of course, posts from the Wakefield Doctrine.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine Long grat this week (see Grat #8)

4) gainful(ish) employment… well, technically, self-employment, i.e. real estate sales and marketing. It permits (and, kinda requires) certain activity ever week. Past lists have featured photos of the properties currently in inventory. This week will be no exception.

5) a lack of snow (no hubris in that statement… simple gratitude for weather conditions), that said, while seasonable cold, the ground is frozen, but visible. grat!

6) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop

7) the Six Sentence Story bloghop. Feature:  ‘La Machine‘. by Violet Lentz

8) ok Reader Advisory: the fact that you don’t have to be a clark to read, enjoy and otherwise participate Doctrine posts notwithstanding, here’s a quick little Grat that is right on the edge of acceptable coherency in writing, you know what we mean, esai?* In any event, the Wakefield Doctrine is a tool for self-improving oneself. Especially, if not ‘only’, for clarks. The reason is, it appears that a necessary precursor to growing and development involves the emotional aspect (of being a person). In clarks, there is a relatively high level of ‘hands off that shit’, at least when it comes to us dealing with…well, ourselves. Short story extended: had an encounter this weekend with an online friend that resulted in a better sense not only of ourselfs, but our capacity to interact with the world around us (and the people who makes it up). All due to time spent with this here personality theory here. For the non-predominant clarklike Readers: a reaction to something that in pre-Doctrine days could have been negative, became a positive(ish) lol process. Nothing remarkable, nothing that ‘real’ people don’t encounter and develop in… like childhood days. But, speaking only for ourselves, clark here. lol Thanks! unidentified person in non-comprehensible interaction!

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3  (A clarklike twist to a very rogerian view of clubs, groups, gatherings and common effort, aka ‘the Herd’. Unfortunately, the innate (and near-uncontrollable drive to subversion in clarks pretty much negates any of the natural attractiveness that our Herd Member (rogerian) brethren have in copious amount. oh well.)
