‘tonic over dominant’ …the Wakefield Doctrine… how your ‘secondary aspect’ (might) influence your life

October 12, 2012 By

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the ‘personality theory’ that is ‘predicated’ on the experience of ‘personal realities’)’*’

Advisory Warning! Today’s Post is for expositionary purposes only! Readers and Followers of the Wakefield Doctrine are familiar with the type of Post that you see before you today, intriguing title with overtones (for the rogers) of information (for the clarks) in abundance, followed by a serious warning (for the scotts). Yes, I believe we have everything we need for a Friday-sort-of Post. On to it then!

Every one knows:

  • we settle into one of three characteristic worldview at an early age (3-5) and this becomes our dominant personal reality which in turn gives rise to the name of our personality type (clark or scott or roger)
  • we never lose the capacity to experience the world, however briefly and/or, sporadically as the ‘other two’ personality types
  • when we first learn about the Wakefield Doctrine, we often think “OK, I am clearly a clark, but there are times I must be a scott what is wrong with me?”
  • depending on our dominant type, our reaction to this confusion/mixing of the 3 types will be: a) confusion and an effort to reconciling the discrepancy, b) rejection of the whole Doctrine as  flawed or 3) deciding there is, must be, a 4th or 5th personality type that you missed and making up new names (rogerscotts!)
    (Which of the three reactions you experience depends on your personality type, of course!)
Recent discussions in these Pages about this issue (of seeing more than one personality type expressed), has led us to create a term for the condition in which a non-dominant worldview occurs frequently enough to influence the behavior of the (person) in their dominant worldview. We now refer to this as a ‘strong secondary aspect’.  Now this is not a fourth personality type. As we enumerated above, the Wakefield Doctrine has always maintained that the ‘other two’ worldviews remains with us. In fact, many people never have the experience of seeing the world as their ‘non-dominant’ types. I know of quite a few people who are ‘all’ scott  or pretty much ‘entirely’ rogerian. Try to keep in mind that, at this point in the development of the Wakefield Doctrine, we are not limiting ourselves to the symmetry compulsion that afflicts much of the Western culture, i.e. ‘if we have three types that the percentage must add up to 100’**
However, we are seeing that some people experience ‘the other two’ worldviews quite frequently, therefore this development of the concept of a secondary aspect.
Dig this: lets say you are a clark. All of us would recognise you if we met you, e.g. minimal eye contact, mumbled speech, purple streak and iron spikes as fashion accessories and really great shoes. Fine.  But if one day we came to visit you at work, and as we look on from a distance, the new Executive VP stops by your desk and makes a remark about your tattoo. The remark is meant to be funny but clearly intended to hurt. But today things are different, to the amazement of everyone in the room, instead of laughing off the comment, you reply quietly and we all see the VP ‘stopped cold’. Not only that, you stand up at your desk and say something to him, kinda quiet like and the VP clearly becomes uncomfortable with what you are saying and  …runs out of the room. (OK, they don’t actually run, but you know what we  mean).
We are witnessing a person with a dominant clarklike worldview expressing a strong scottian secondary aspect. (Of course, students of the Doctrine all realize that after the amazing confrontation, you will go back to mumbling and laughing too much and worrying about what will happen when you next encounter the Executive VP… after all, you are a clark!)
Thats the use and value of the concept of the secondary aspect.
Any questions?
The Title? ask the progenitor roger for how that ties in to the vid and such, do I have to spell everything out?

* Quotation marks are also used to indicate that the writer realizes that a word is not being used in its current commonly accepted sense:

Crystals somehow “know” which shape to grow into.

In addition to conveying a neutral attitude and to call attention to a neologism, or slang, or special terminology (also known as jargon), quoting can also indicate words or phrases that are descriptive but unusual, colloquial, folksy, startling, humorous, metaphoric, or contain a pun: Dawkins’s concept of a meme could be described as an “evolving idea”.

People also use quotation marks in this way to distance the writer from the terminology in question so as not to be associated with it, for example to indicate that a quoted word is not official terminology, or that a quoted phrase presupposes things that the author does not necessarily agree with; or to indicate special terminology that should be identified for accuracy’s sake as someone else’s terminology, as when a term (particularly a controversial term) pre-dates the writer or represents the views of someone else, perhaps without judgement (contrast this neutrally-distancing quoting to the negative use of scare quotes).  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark )

** hah, seeing how we have 3 types, good luck with getting to 100

‘one rainy S..s..Sunday, no need to sit up and read, it’s all taken care of!’ the Wakefield Doctrine (mostly) audio Post

September 30, 2012 By

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

 

 

All I could find was a reference to a re-release of what I believe was her one and only album, try this Link. If anyone ‘out there’ finds out more better information about Tia, let us know! (I’m thinkin clark, here!)
Hey! Jasmine!  Yo Steve!! You our resident musicians!  What you got on Tia Blake?

Today is shaping up to being one of those secret, transitional, thank-god-I-don’t-really-know-how-much-change-is-coming-soon, Sundays!
But, that is still a few minutes/hours/months away, for today sit back and try to relax! Today’s Post is the kind of Post where you don’t have to read and re-read the frickin thing in a last minute attempt to avoid feeling that you wasted 5 irreplaceable life-minutes reading something that sounded like it was going to pay-off at the end, only to be left scratching your head, muttering about ‘all icing and no cake’.

I do need to give you fair warning on the next video. What follows is a Video Post done yesterday and I will tell you up front that you will not be glad you listened to it.
At least if the result of our testing it out on our focus group-lette is any indication.
Last nights’ Saturday Night Drive was most excellent, challenging and had DS#1 and Molly in the dashboard, (Ms. AKH had the night off). We covered alot of ground, had fun but when I tried to explain the concept of ‘catching yourself cheating to lose‘ …not such a good response. But…. here it is, in it’s entirety the Directors Cut, totally un-abashed edition:

Live from Sven-der-Gen-deroeverhaffen! an American scott in the Land of the Midnight Sun the Wakefield Doctrine on the move!

September 11, 2012 By

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

Like Archimedes said, “Give us Wakefield Doctrine ‘DocTees’ and enough airfare,  we will totally move the world” (or words to that effect).

Newest Friend of the Doctrine (FOTD) Karen (‘a true scott’) appears to be embracing alternate energy and a good portion of coastal Sweden, by Right of DocTee1!

We are receiving photos at a rate that should have ‘the Facebook’ joining Godaddy in bandwidth hell, as our very own Karen (“a true scott”) roams the  Swedish countryside in search of objects to photograph and/or dress up in the current height of Wakefield Doctrine fashion.
The photo on ‘the cover’ of this Post is the first Karen sent us.  There is a sculpture of a famous local artist (Gustaf Rydberg) in a Park in Malmo, Sweden.  Long sought as a quiet place for artists to come to seek inspiration, a place to bring the children to inspire them to find their own Muse… a grotto amidst the stress of daily life…  Well, his bust belongs to the Doctrine now! lol   Hey, we all know that it is only a matter of time before the ‘international scandals’ start.

Sydsvenska Dagbladet Snällposten:

Lokala invånare uttryckt chock och upprördhet över händelserna kring voguing skulptur av högt lokal konstnär Gustaf Rydberg. Rapporter att det fanns “DocTees” visar i hela Malmö har varit de-bunked, men enligt en lokal bosatta,
“Det fanns denna kvinna, klädd i en svart Tee-tröja med konstiga ord (på engelska) på baksidan och regionen”framsidan”. Och hon hålls försöker sätta skjortan på bilar och tecken och väderkvarnar”

Polisen är förbryllad och frågar om någon har information kontakta dem omedelbart, men det är ingen anledning till oro.2

Well, we all want to say, “Good Work and GodSpeed Karen(‘a true Scott’), Godspeed!”

If anyone gets nervous about the accelerating rate of the fame of our little Doctrine, keep in mind that the very Rev. Sung Yung Moon passed away recently… so there has to be at least 99 million depressed and despondent rogers out there looking for something to keep the herd happy! As our ‘KH says, “Just sayin”

Another photo and we’re out.

 

 

1) an Extension of the Right-of-Hat, the Right-of-DocTee allows the wearer to claim use of whatever or wherever they happen to be! For example, several Posts ago we had a photo sent in by FOTD Jenny, standing in front of the very famous Cavern club in Liverpool. Had it been the right time of day (or night), our Ms J could have breezed right in, past the doorman and had the best seat in the house! Equally, Karen (“a true Scott”) could have halted the proceedings in the Swedish Parliament and demand that meatballs be made a part of the Official Parliament Cafeteria Menu!  How cool is this Wakefield Doctrine?!

2)  Local residents expressed shock and outrage at the events surrounding the ‘voguing’ of the sculpture of revered local artist Gustaf Rydberg. Reports that there were ‘DocTees’ showing up throughout Malmo have been de-bunked, however, according to one local resident,

” There was this woman, wearing a black Tee Shirt with strange words (in English) on both the back and the ‘frontal’ region. And she kept trying to put the shirt on cars and signs and windmills”

Police are baffled and ask if anyone has any information to contact them immediately, however there is no cause for alarm.

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

September 3, 2012 By

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?

Tuesday (or how to practice using the Wakefield Doctrine) the Wakefield Doctrine …some you half-know this stuff already, the rest of you? hopeless!

August 21, 2012 By

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

The Wakefield Doctrine is an unquiet, persistent and fearsome tool, used properly it will change how you see the world and the people in it, on a fundamental and essential level.

If you want me to say this in a more traditional and comfortable way, I will, but you must do something first, my babies. I will stop being weird (er) provided you Readers collectively, individually, working as small cadres that are loosely bound by a desire to learn this Wakefield Doctrine, whatever… do the following:

  • pick one or two people who are active1 in your day and decide for yourself if they are a clark or a scott or a roger
  • at some point in your day, while in the company of others, make the following statement; ” Well, (so-and-so) was being especially clarklike today” or “(Mr. or Ms.) was really showing his/her scottian nature today” or “I can’t believe how rogerian (this person) was acting today, going so far as to (give an example)”.
  • the statement must be made at normal conversational levels, not overly loud (scotts) nor mumbled incoherently (clarks), simply a statement.
  • you must use the correct pronunciation:  clarklike (clark ‘like) scottian (scoe ‘shun) and rogerian (row jeer ‘ian)
  • finally, you may respond to the questions of others (after having made this statement, in any manner except “oh, nothing  I didn’t say anything!”

If anyone of you who is not DS#1 or Ms. AKH does this thing and writes a Comment telling us about their experience, I will try to return to a more normal and enjoyable writing style.

…questions?  Then why are you still staring at this screen?? Go on!  Get out there and do this thing!

Hey clarks!! The scottian and rogerian Readers think that they know the benefit of actually going along with the Request in this Post. And, in a sense, they are correct…from a traditional, mainstream perspective. And you, as clarks, sorry to say it, would normally not get the understanding of the benefit… except this is the Wakefield Doctrine and here things are different. I will go so far as to say, that here at the Wakefield Doctrine, things are very more different for clarks than for scotts and rogers  and all in a totally positive sense.   Not that it makes your job easier! But you have so much more advantage than the other two and so much more to gain… how sad for us that we will read this statement and feel worse!  Too bad! too sad!  Go on, get out there! Do this one simple thing today and come back and tell us all about it. I guarantee that you will be glad that you did.

1)  meaning co-worker, classmate, spouse, friend, girlfriend/boyfriend2 or your boss3

2)  might want to hold off on these, for conjugal reasons if nothing else

3)  same here, ‘cept maybe not as conjugal
