RePrint Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

December 18, 2023 By

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

Lets search on two RePrintular topics: 1) self-improvement and b) the word ‘wind’. (We’re having a storm move up the coast this morning. The best, other than consecutive ninety degree days, weather of all.) New Readers? the geographical location of the Doctrine is southern New England, on the east coast of Oceania. The storm systems run west to east, as they must; however at times a storm will develop and ‘run up the coastline’. The thing about this is that a weather event such as we’re experiencing  today is usually accompanied by a strong, southeast wind. Which means rain and wind and higher temperatures. At least until the storm moves up and on, into the Maritime Provinces. Then the prevailing winds shift, as they must, into a west/northwesterly direction. Cold usually follows.

At the time of this writing, we are still in the warm, stormy-wind aspect of the weather.

So, back to our search for a RePrint!

Damn! Lookie at what we found! Nothing on the ‘stormy weather’ but, self-improvement? eeee doggies! (J. Clampett 1964)

Anyway, before we get into the RePrint, a reminder of a topic: the effects of secondary and tertiary aspects on the predominant worldview(s) of the Wakefield Doctrine. Totally time to revisit that subject. And, as it would be, this part of the Doctrine does have a direct bearing on the matter of how the Wakefield Doctrine can be a most efficacious tool for self-improving oneself.

And …and! in the way that reality has of juxtaposing seemingly random, yet complimentary-the-point-of-enhancing occurrences, this week’s RePrint is an textbook illustration of the effects of secondary aspects on both the predominant and tertiary aspects. (to wit: my scottian secondary aspect on a predominant clarklike worldview and weak rogerian tertiary.)

self-development, 3 personality types and the Wakefield Doctrine (oh yeah, damn almost forgot! Video Friiidaay!!!)

September 16, 2011

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

There will come a time, in the not too distant future, when people you know, will come up and say, “hey! I just heard about this Doctrine thing, and it’s supposed to be about personality types, but they have these hats and this guy travels around the world and takes these really strange videos and talks about rogers and clarks and scotts! Those are the names they have for 3 personality types…yeah…I know….but it’s true! they have pictures and charts and stuff and when I looked around at people here at school or at my job, there they were!  Anyway, they said this Doctrine will help me change anything about myself that I want…and it’s true….”

…and that will be very cool, but you are here now and you are watching this thing of ours, and  I am including you in the use of the word ‘ours’. With a Wakefield Doctrine hat (on your damn head) and a little patience you will be a part of the growth of the Doctrine. Of course, writing a Comment wouldn’t hurt either!
As we all know, to be a ‘personality theory/self-improvement tool’ ya gotta provide proof that it works!    Alright, then take a look at these here videos here:*

Then on to the other Crossroads:**

…Tell me quick where I can get rid of these things!

* look at the geocoding of the location…damn Highway 61
** look up the legend of Robert Johnson and the Crossroads

TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

December 16, 2023 By

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

"Cain, yo. What did you bring? oh... no, nothing! I heard Yahweh totally loves a good fruit cocktail"

“Cain, yo. What did you bring? oh… no, nothing! I heard Yahweh totally loves a good fruit cocktail”

 

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Founded by L.R. while on sabbatical from Oxford University in the Spring of 1907. The TToT is what she confided to the clerk at a hostel in the Scottish Highlands as, “An exercise that feels good. Not at all like calisthenics and medicine ball and such, which only feel good to those observing. Kind of like much of Life, at least until we learn the restorative powers of Gratitude. And I’ll thank you to give me the same room Mary Shelly stayed in during her Wanderjahr.

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine the sine qua non of all of this blog-writing and such

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop Where the stories are brief and heartfelt.

5) the Unicorn Challenge Welll Don’t get us started on this crew! Sure, photo prompts are not uncommon in the ‘sphere. But there are photos and there are ‘wth?!! photos’. You know what the cool thing about bloghops am? The opportunity to learn new writin’ stuff. Hey! That’s a Grat if I ever saw one! (see Grat#7).

6) (stop the presses! this just in! Less.Than.A.Week!) …Until the beginning of Summer!

7) lol (clearly, this is not our first rodeo) No, serially! The thing about the ‘hops the Doctrine participates in is the atmosphere created, not only by the hosts, but by the participating writers. Like a improv of any of the performing arts where people gather, it’s all about the attitude. A balance of competition without the need to ‘one-up’ and the appreciation of other styles and skill levels. Exemplified by writers like ladysighs and Michael at the ‘corn and Reena and Frank.

8) and…and! FOTD, Cynthia’s all, new-look website. (An Arlo Guthrie lyric comes to mind) Stop by at Art Funky. Tell her the Doctrine sent ya!

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3 from the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules)

free way Friday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

December 15, 2023 By

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

We made it!

The Doctrine tends toward an every-other week schedule here at the ‘corn’, joining jenne and ceayr and the others here at the Unicorn Challenge.

Do yerself a favor, head over to the ‘corn. Plenty good reading. And, if you got the hankering to take the keyboard out for a stroll, go ahead and link your story (in Comments). The simplest of rules: a) Hey! look at this photo and 2) no more than 250 words, if you please. Tell ’em the Doctrine sent ya.

 

 

 

For her it was the light, an actinic slap of welcome to a newborn. Chloë responded with a most human of strategies, extending her hand across the table.

For him, it was an assault of odor, of such potency, his body wrongly interpreted it as immersion in a noxious ether. Montgomery was assailed by an overwhelming desire to stand up. Instead, he grasped the hand that appeared opposite his own.

In the shadows, a man laughed a guttural cough of merriment and aimed his phone towards the young couple. Bathed in the cold palette of technology, he basked in the approval of the woman in the display; her face an aurora of hues as she watched the man watching the young people.

“Sinè, my love, it’s time to reel in our little fishies.” Donning an waiter’s apron, the man picked up a tray holding two glasses. He sprinkled a shower of crystals into each. The motion caused his sleeve to rise, exposing a tattoo of a symbol combining an asterix and an angular ‘B’, superimposed on a heart.

“I don’t remember anything after that odd woman stopped us on the street.” Confidence returning with the shared strength of their touching hands, Chloë rose.

“Yeah, lets get out of here,” Montgomery threw a £50 note on the drink tray proffered by the waiter and left without a backward glance. Unseen, the man threw the tray against the curved-stone wall, cringing at the tiny voice of the woman raging from his phone.

Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [a Café Six Part Three 2/3]

December 13, 2023 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.

It is hosted by Denise and, other than insisting on six sentences-per-story, she maintains a light-to-a-fault hand on the proceedings.

The funny-looking title? The ‘subtitle’ is a reference to this week’s inter-related stories from Nick (2) and Denise (3).

“…previously on the Doctrine’s Café Six‘, the Sophomore was dragging his feet on his way to the Manager’s office.

Prompt word:

FARM

The tall, thin man smoothed out the crumpled paper with the passionate serenity of a widower smoothing the shroud of his departed, prior to taking his place at the head of a receiving line of one.

The muffled knock on the door was followed by a trapezoid of darkness contorting it’s characteristic sharp-angled shape, as if to minimize the fact it provided passage into the office.

The Sophomore crossed the distance between door and desk almost too quickly, the casual swing of his second-hand overcoat, an unmistakeable imprimatur of youth, was a non-verbal announcement informing all that he was not afraid, but would ask deference to his remarkable intelligence.

Sitting in the lone chair in front of the desk, the young man smiled without cause, remained silent out of caution and occupied his mind with an escalating variety of possible realities extending from the present moment; his friends in the past from which he was mysteriously transported, often chided him on not taking life seriously enough.

The tall, thin man’s fingers ran over the ridges and creases of the letter like a third-generation owner of a subsistence farm sifting dry soil through calloused hands, as if to seek enlightenment, if not salvation.

“Do you know what Hell really is?”

(cool Greco-Latin word for memory/recollection: HERE) -the Wakefield Doctrine-

December 12, 2023 By

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

A wise(ish) person once said, ‘The first step to self-improvement is developing one’s capacity to form habits. For all its bad rep, (or is that, ‘bad rap’?), creating habits is the surest path to Heaven.’

Damn! The things wise people get to say. (Funny you should ask. Wait ’til you see the symbol eR. The check lower on the page. Hopefully there will be some tidbit of new insight into everyone’s favorite personality typing blog.

But here we are again. Tuesday. Attic boxes all around in a circle like we were in the jungle.

Some continuity if you will: (First, Second, Third and Previous Memoir posts)

Damn! We’re going to have to settle on some convention for designating Memoir Posts. One that doesn’t require the copy/paste of links to the pertinent articles.

Hey. The ‘real’ world ate the balance of this post!

… remind us to get more, in the sense of greater percentage of the writing, done earlier than 11-fricken-o-clock!

Thankfully the Wakefield Doctrine is a standalone tool/alternate perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up.

 

eR Let’s all agree that this superscript will designate ‘the Everything Rule’. Figure with something like that, the new Reader will stop and ask themselves if they’re really sure what kind of random, personality-type blog they’ve got themselfs into. To the point at hand:

What we designated being in the dominion of the Everything Rule is: How does the choice of ‘wiseman/woman/person’ manifest in the three predominant worldviews of the Wakefield Doctrine?

Who would employ/deploy which? You’re gonna laugh but its: roger, scott and clark. lol* Thought experiment/contest for future branded clothing items: Why is that true? Tell us in Comments.

 

*no, you’re welcome
