Friesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 15, 2024 By

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to jenne and ceayr‘s photo/image prompt bloghop, the Unicorn Challenge.

Take the image (a new one each week) throw it into the lightless void of that portion of your mind connected to the creative …whatever and typetty-type!

oh yeah, slight constraint: Max 250 words.

 

 

Jophiel’s sword cast the ragged couple’s shadow into the harsh, new world.

She was dressed in shame, he walked ahead of her, jaw set resentfully, towards the inhospitable land to the East.

Presently, the two came upon a thoroughly alien landscape. The ground was level, softly green, and studded with upright stone slabs.

“Sucks to be you, right?”

The voice, friendly with self-confidence, just enough archness to make ignoring it unlikely, belonged to a dark-haired woman.

The pause became a silence which grew uncomfortable. From the edge of the cemetery, the woman stepped forward, laughing, “Where are his manners?” After hugging the woman and scowling at the man, continued,

“I”m Lilith, his ex, you must be Eve.”

“Yeah, I get it, bleak, scary graveyard as an introduction to life outside Paradise. Your Creator may be All-Powerful but subtle He ain’t.”

“Come on Eve,” Adam interrupted, “We don’t have to listen to this… God said you would be devoted to me, so just accept the fact that we’re doomed to a life of toil, get old and die.”

More laughter from the dark woman.

“Here’s the thing. Your Creator, and your Tempter? Both dicks. Small minds and resentful spirits. This?” Lilith’s voice leaning towards Eve, “Childish attempt to scare you when it’s actually the true Promise. Those stones have names on them, The names of mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. You, Eve, will be the Mother and they will follow and, in fact, become your eternal life.”

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

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Created by Lizzi R in 1973 it is the longest running Grat Blog in current publication. It has been voted “How many Hosts did they have when they started? Even with modern medicines, surely the supply must be dying off by now or, at very least, entering Life’s ‘Kindergarten II Phase’ Award of the Year.

We are now the host of this here bloghop here. And what follows is our list of the people, places and things that have saved our bacon (list-writing-istically-speaking) for yet another week.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop Six Pic of the Week: “Punch‘ by Yinglan

5) the Unicorn Challenge bloghop   Doctrine Pick of the Week: ‘Initiation‘ by Margaret

6) *NEW* the Blogger edition of the TToT. >Click This<

7) Guest Post from the Earliest of Days T.A. Woods who we’re working with to see if’n we can’t get a TToT post through a alternate social media, Medium. Cross your fingers and stop over at her FB page (linked name) and say, ‘Hidy’ Welll! (Just returned from the Middle platform) I’ve always wondered what the minds behind Scrivener would do now that they’re successful with the most rogerian of writing tools. “Hello! Kitchen Parts and Products Department? I’l like to order a shipment of sinks for the fine folks working on fine-tuning Scrivener. How many? Why, all of them, of course.” lol (I kid Scrivener. We have a paid subscription and ever thang).

8) something, something

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [an Ian Devereaux Six]

September 12, 2024 By

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop

Hosted by Denise, ruled by a sole numeristic imperative. Six

Prompt word:

PUNCH

“…get the hell back here, I got a job for you.”

Lou’s voice rolled up the Lounge side of the Bottom of the Sea, and, like the true destructive power of a tsunami, did not manifest as anything as theatrical as a towering, white crested wave, destruction and death incarnate, instead it was as fundamental as a in change sea level; a reorientation to the norm, as he intended. Best way to describe the effect, it was like the adolescent-boy dominance game, (as if everything, at least until the arrival of girls wasn’t), of ‘Who can hit the lightest’, but in a metaphysical sense, of course.

Diane Tierney’s hand on my forearm was the reason the subjective and metaphysic view was not the sole guide for the Path of Man; at least not after the grandest of boyishly-mean pranks, the ‘You can have anything in the world except for this one thing;” I wrote a paper in sixth grade titled ‘Why I’d Rather God Punch Me Now and Get it Over With’; Sister Mary Imela was not amused.

Although some of us would like to think the world should be amusing with intervals of fascinating followed by happiness and contentment, I had pretty much given up on that view of Life; the touch of a hand reminded me why that was still, ‘pretty much’.

“A word to the wise, Ian…”

the overtone of caring to the lightly saracastic interrogative brought me back to earth, one that held the promise of life with things worth being serious about.

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 11, 2024 By

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

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop

Hosted by Denise, ruled by a sole numeristic imperative. Six

Prompt word:

PUNCH

“Who the heck made the punch?”

“Wait, don’t even think about going down that road, or I swear I’ll call Keith.”

“Chill, dude, I was just going to mention what a punch it had, nothing to the effect of implying that the word lended itself to a puh…”

“As god is my witness, I mean it, I will totally do it!”

“Sorry! Jeez, it’s just that I was reading this old magazine, ok! I won’t say the name, it’s from like the Victorian Era; and, for the record, your music video that you think enhances your story, the line you base the connection on is not; ‘Punching Judy and calling Keith’, the line is: ‘They’re all Pimping Judys and Popping Speed’.”

“Hello, operator, I need to send a telegram to England…. What do you mean you’ve never heard of them, telegrams are basically emails-by-castanet; no, really; ok take this down: to Keith (stop) Have a writer friend practicing Pun-ation without a License, send help (stop)!”

Wednesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

September 11, 2024 By

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

ok, ok, we did promise to discuss, ever-so briefly, the concept of serendipitous insights into the personal realities inherent in the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine.

this will not be on the Final Exam for one very good reason.

…

if you haven’t found this thing of ours fascinating, fun, weird-but-you-know-kinda-true. and possibly even useful, you are no longer reading…

(lol. jokes on them. well, technically, the joke (or the necessary premise of said bon mot), does not exit for them what clicked away five minutes ago*)

New Readers!! Following is our statement of role:

Your Narrator, being a clark with a significant secondary scottian and weak tertiary rogerian aspect, is the Curator of these pages. That is the extent of it. The reason for this seemingly clumsy exhibition of humility is to be found in the ‘Eureka Moment’ of the Wakefield Doctrine. (Hint: found in the ‘About’ or one of the other Pages (as opposed to Posts).

The Eureka Moment is Number One!! on our ‘List of greatest insights into another’s personal reality’.

(Quick Note: sure, the Doctrine will, in the course of describing the characteristics of the three personality types, enable anyone to see examples (of them) in their own worlds. But, beyond that. there have been occasions when we simply get lucky, spot a situation and correctly infer what a person of a different predominant worldview  is experiencing as they are experiencing it. In other words, see further into their world than even the principles of the  Doctrine ordinarily permit.)

anyway… in no particular order**

  • ‘Referential Authority’ in the world of the Herd Member, the ultimate exertion of will on their surroundings always involves referring to a commonly-held belief system/coda example: HR person says to new hire: “This folder contains the SOP of our operation, we call it ‘the Bible'”1 Any religious leader-wannabe will always speak of higher authorities on… shall we say, ‘as a personal friend, confidant’
  • ‘Lashing-Out’ again in the world of the Herd Member, this is an extremely effective (and efficacious) strategy to exert dominance in a Herd. It (the identification of and definition of this mechanism/tactic), is also the greatest gift the Wakefield Doctrine makes available to clarks. (Hint: It eliminates the damage of the reflexive thought “What could I have done to make my rogerian friend say such a thing?”)

ok,  out of time

Don’t forget!

The Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not them.

 

*no, we wouldn’t be making fun of the creatively challenged. no way

** we did identify ourslefs as a clark, did we not? lol

  1. you clarks out there know that no one, with the exception of the referenced HR person ever calls it that
