the Wakefield Doctrine

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

the other half of this week’s Hypograt… don’t see this when we drive home, at least not today

This is our contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Each week, those so inclined, write and link a list of the people, places, things and events that has caused them to experience gratitude. It can be those interactions with others in the course of the week leading up to now or a list of people who, at some point in the past made them think, ‘I really need to remember this when the finally 21st C arrives with the technology to usher in an Age of Information and Enlightenment.

For this week our list of Grats are as follows:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

5) ongoing yard project involving bees and tree stumps and such (r. hendrix? a little imagery? ‘battlegrounds, red and brown’ (vid ‘Spanish Castle Magic’ below) current state of the conflict:

6) Front Meadow Update (the wheat is taking a beat(ing)) i.e. dog and rabbits

7) hypo-grat Summer’s End this weekend. (at least it hasn’t snowed…yet) lol for now of Phyllis’ cottage

8) something, something

9) ‘Tree-rat’s Morning Wudu ‘

10)  Secret Rule 1.3

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.)
