the Wakefield Doctrine

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

Being Summer, lets run with a ‘Summer School’ schtick. Everone’s minds being elsewhere, it only makes sense.

If we come up with something original(ish) we’ll, like, use blue font. aiight?

“block quotes and bullet points” the Wakefield Doctrine 3 personality types…easy to learn, fun to use

September 3, 2012

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

I was sitting on my deck this afternoon, watching our dog, Una. Our yard is fairly small but is surrounded by a pine woods. Una was sitting on the lawn, watching the woods for intruders and other threats and I  sat in my chair staring at the woods. All of a sudden there was a sound of cracking wood and through a nearby grove of trees, I watched a medium size tree fall. Accompanied by the sound of splintering tree limbs and cracking wood, it fell over. Without thinking and in a fairly loud voice, “I heard that!”  in the silence that followed, I started laughing.  (From …Tales of clarks)

The Wakefield Doctrine, today’s Post Title tells us, purports to be easy to learn and fun to use. Two questions:

1. how easy
2. what the hell do you mean ‘use‘

Easy as pie! To be honest* it would be better to describe the process (of learning the Doctrine) as being simple, rather than easy. Simple for those Readers with the quality of flexible intelligence, those who are comfortable using their imagination as well as they brains. The good news is, that if you are still reading this Post, you no doubt qualify.
See? That was pretty damn easy, non?

Use (our little Doctrine) in whatever manner you feel gives you the maximum benefit. This is where the Wakefield Doctrine totally has the advantage over those other personality theories! Learn about the three worldviews that are the foundation of the Doctrine and you can:

• amuse yourself watching people, people you know, people you don’t know.
• amuse your friends
• improve your own life, break habits…get new ones!
• hang out (virtualistically speaking) with people from all the hell over the globe, the people who come here and learn the Doctrine
• be a part of something that no one else in your family/group of friends/co-workers even come close to knowing about

So… since today is Monday/not-Monday go ahead and give the Wakefield Doctrine a try! Have some fun with it.   …you know, (I’m talking to the clarks out there) you will have some questions, ask us and we will answer. I personally guarantee that you will not regret asking the questions… because it is nearly totally certain that one of us have had the same concern. Come on! you know you want to…lol

* always suspect the person is lying when you hear a statement like this! As our Wikipedian friends would have us understand:
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection )

How about a little borrowed music?

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

This is the Doctrine’s weekly contribution to Lizzi R’s legacy bloghop, the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT). Created by our founderess in 1885. The less said, the better.

Anywho… we have a bloghop, of a genre oft-referred to as a gratitude blog (or Grat Blog) in which Readers and Writers are invited to share a list of Ten Things (or people, or places, or, of course, events) that have elicited the state of Gratitude or appreciation thereof such a condition.

For the Doctrine this week, our list:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the non-snow-infested time of the year often referred to as Summer

5) completion of the first major landscaping project of the year;

Before

After

6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

7) the utube for remaining a place to find most enjoyable channels for those moment between sweaty and sleeping (GP reference, if you please)… this week we stumbled across the channel: exurb1a. To check real quick if you’re checking this out would then be a Grat for your own list, here’s a link to a fun vid on the site:

8) our favorite prehistoric plant form (thistle)

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3
