Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Once again we are grateful to those who follow along with this here personality theory here and write Comments that are baby thesiseseses…
Mimi:
They pursue shiny objects, but have no intention of real harm. “I wasn’t going to eat it, I was just going to taste it a little!”
To which Misky (replied)
Quite so.
But curiosity? Endless bucket loads of it.
(oh, yeah… context!! This Doctrine Post from the start of the week.)
Two core concepts: 1) the Everything Rule and b) ‘How a thing manifests vis á vis the three predominant worldviews’ personal reality
Clearly both Comments are accurate and informed.
If you’re still reading we can assume nobody’s got a beef with the Doctrine’s insistence that there is a personal (as in ‘I experience this, you do not’) quality to reality.
So, why the extra heavy word ‘manifest’? Why not accept that reality is perception and let it go at that?
Because the Wakefield Doctrine isn’t merely a ‘hey! what if...’ alternative perspective on the world around us. It’s a tool. A tool to aid us in our efforts to appreciate the differences (in general) of reality as the product of three different ways to relate ourselfs to the world around us.
We, your Curator, are a clark (predominant worldview). Therefore when we ‘interact’ with a thing, we perceive it consistent with the character of our relationship with it (and the rest of the world forming the background of our little thought experiment). Since any relationship alters the object being related to, for us as an Outsider, we manifest the quality/thing/concept of creativity appropriately to our personal reality. Not for nothin’, but for our people, who are capable of believing anything, there is no limit to the ground against which this idea of new/novel manifests. This is why it is said that clarks are, of the three, the truly creative ones. That is not to say that scotts and rogers cannot experience and bring (to others) the novel, the unique and other attractive things*.
But here’s where it gets tricky. scotts for example, relate to the world around them to as do predators. their world is, metaphorically, one of hunters/prey, search and survive, fight or flight. They will therefore relate to the people, places and things/events in their life from the perspective of a sucessful predator. Which means: develop and practice the appropriate skills.
ok. that’s enough for this Friday.
lets simplify. to manifest in this context is to ask: considering the relationship a clark or a scott or a roger maintain with the world around them what’s important to them on the most fundamental level? that’s how they manifest a thing.
*see? see?!?! to a clark the novel, the unique they gold! (Wanna know why? As a clark. ok, ok… because central to the relationship a clark (the Outsider) maintains with the world, (and therefore Life), is the search for the knowledge that will permit her/him to become a real person.)
About clarkscottroger
it’s always a pleasure to come by and be Clark’d.. reaffirming .. empowering… etc. etc. etc. … most of all the Clark humor … I’m not weird after all … a wee bit quirky.. a wee bit distant.. and oh so chatty when ya find yur mates… and why do I hafta fill out the info every time when it sez to click and save??? That’s not a Clark … it’s got to be the predator
we’re glad to have you join us*
*the one thing that makes the ‘effort’ of the blog more than worthwhile is to find other Outsiders (clarks)… in the early days we struggled with the multiples problem, i.e. a pack of scotts (Predators) and a Herd of rogers (Herd Members) was immediately obvious… clarks, not so much (tried a number of words an silence of clarks, a avoidance of clarks… not nearly as cool as the other two. but the core problem was: If one is an Outsider can there reasonably be a multiple?
there are (and as has often been stated here most clarks have a system to explain the world, so the Doctrine is immediately familiar.) the biggest benefit? totally insider topic: some of us go through periods in our lifes when the darkness takes over (other clarks refer to cold, alone(er)) but it’s all the same we are trapped within our minds by a single voice (not quite us) who reads us the list of our failings. It is a truly awful/terrible place/state. But… but! with more clarks to see, hear and understand the opportunity to witness ‘my people’ at various stages of the dark place has been the single (actually, the only effective counter to the despair of the darkness… in the only way possible. (we all have tried to argue with the voice never effective) To identify with another clark as they go into or endure or come out of this place… totally efficacious yo)
so there’s that lol
Oh don’t tell me — no don’t — are you also a fan of Medieval “killer rabbits”?
And before anyone thinks I’ve lost the plot, the British Library presents:
https://www.bl.uk/stories/blogs/posts/medieval-killer-rabbits-when-bunnies-strike-back
two words: Ayyiiee
look! a lily! you know what a lily can always use?
Never turn your back on those killer bunnies. (laughing) I tell you, those old monks and scribes had a brilliant sense of humour.
truth to both!
A personal quality to reality — which is why some psychologists insist every child in the same family is raised by a different set of parents, different at least to each child.
one of the reasons I’m glad you hang out with us
