TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine- “…metaphors are to similes, like photos are to what’s running through my head after I take them”

May 28, 2016 By clarkscottroger

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

1) Certain gratitudinal for Our Miz Rogers being ‘in loco geographicils’, staying in Kansas, (or Oklahoma or Wisconsin, one of the wide, flat, ocean-less States)

2) Glad to have an appreciation of, and a certain penchant, for the odd, hence our photo sequence above. That leads to Item 3

3) Grateful for our Family Hummingbird, not in small part because this hummingbird apparently loves his/her dead insects

4) Grateful for the photo series above and (it’s) implications for the ephemeral aspects of daily life, (which leads to Item 5)

5) glad for a new appreciation (in) the belief that, when you know there’s something in your life thats cool, even if you have no direct evidence to show to the others, (in your life), persist in believing and the evidence will become irrefutable (sorta)

6) Did I mention that the Doctrine is all kinds of taken with the power of perspective on: life, reality, relationships with others? Well let me do so here with a couple of photos of Una (from our Friday Night Walk:

‘Proof of Walk’

7) Three faces, one dog:

“You walk more slowly than my human drives this car!! Get out of the road. Now!

“what feral dog? I didn’t see a feral dog! You must be mistaken!”

“yeah, put these in your Post… they’ll love it!”

8) ‘Almira’ Chapter 9 (Backstory Chapter: Hammond Street Presbyterian in Lawrence Massachusetts, Sunday December 10, 1911 We become acquainted with Frederick Prendergast III and his wife, Constance (Myerson) Prendergast and their twin 5 year old sons (and Nanny, Grace Byrne), as they attend Services and listen to a Sermon given by Minister Allyn Montrose, on the Parable of the Talents. I think we’ll have a better insight into the social forces that not only directed the forces of capitalism (in the creation of the first planned manufacturing town), but gave body (and soul) to the passion that stands up to oppression. (You know, typical chapter in a Serial about the real story behind ‘The Wizard of Oz’))

10) SR 1.3

Friday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

May 27, 2016 By clarkscottroger

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

Seeing how far behind on Chapter 9 over at ‘Almira’ (get caught up here!)I am at this moment (Friday am) I thought I’d write a quick Post. (yeah, the logic is there, but for only 2 of the three worldviews).

Will have to get over to my printer, as I have not forgotten the request for docTees from a couple of Readers and Readae. I thought I might simply get some ‘generic’ docTees, but the last iteration, (with the person’s predominant worldview on the upper arm), are so much more…. cooler. And, with that in mind, I realized that some people (Hey! Paul… I think this might be in reference to you, let us know if you need any help establishing your predominant worldview). (?!@? yeah, I know… how could anyone spend any time at this here blog here and not figure out their personality type… I mean, this place makes very little sense otherwise… and I write the thing!)

Anyway, here: click on this here Link and take the Pre-Dominant Worldview Assessment.

Although it was written for the fun of it. The more time and labour-instensive process of determining one’s predominant worldview is not only simple and fun, it’s preferred, over ‘Taking-a-Test-and-Having-the-Score-Tell-you-the-Nature-of-your-Personal-Reality’. But some people seem to like it (yeah, you and I know both know which of the three they would be…lol)

Anyway.

hey!! Spoiler Alert!!! Only one of the three personality types will consistently get a certain score. In that delightful, proves-itself-without-delibera-setting-out-to-ask-it-to way, when someone writes and says, “I’m but my score came back…” we know exactly who it is.

hey scotts! crayons and spray paint, not available, however, it you want to…go ahead and try. (we have several question/answers contributed by our scottian friends.) try and guess which ones… nah, no point. Anyone with a sufficient grasp of the Doctrine can write in a style indistinguishable among the three worldviews.

Six Second Sunburn Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- (‘well, I do use the word ‘Six’, so it’s kinda normal, right?’)

May 26, 2016 By clarkscottroger

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

Our friend zoe’s weekly challenge to create a story centered on one prompt word, but entailing no more than six sentences. Easy enough, no?

No. Not easy enough. Not even insufficiently easy. And, defiantly not easy as can be… (sorry, I couldn’t keep it going. I knew that there should have been an extension of the analogy (or allegory or antonym) … but it vanished from my mind, like…. like damn! there go the fricken similes!!)

I enjoy this exercise. Most of the time. I’m given to the odd and (hopefully) weirdly suggestive. However, this week my goal shall be simple, direct and action driven Six Sentence Story. The prompt word is: Draw

(Wish me luck)

Dare

“You have your instructions. As implied by the name, there are to be six sentences. Without restriction on the length of these six individual sentences, long or short, they, obviously, must contribute to the story in a way as to keep the Reader engaged, promising to deliver the ‘payoff’, by the end (of the sentence) if not, sooner.

And a Title, which may (or might not) contain the prompt word. As simple as this is, you couldn’t resist, could you?

You want, I should draw you a picture?”

Moreday Morning -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘if it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing!’

May 23, 2016 By clarkscottroger

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

Written on the run, this Monday morning:

editing and publishing Chapter 8 of ‘Almira‘
checking on work-related stuff, leftover from the weekend
writing a Doctrine Post (within this post, at the bottom, well because at ‘the Facebook’ this weekend, Lizzi wore a docTee and some people asked about it
…and because they asked about it, naturally I replied, ‘sure! you can have an Official Wakefield Doctrine docTee!’
which, then required that I explain that they really should decide on their predominant worldview because….
no one can tell you what your personality type is*, its up to you
*of course, those of us already familiar with everyone’s favorite personality theory (at least the one that also has a line of Fashion), are available to help a person realize what the character of their personal reality is: clarks (aka ‘the Outsiders'( scotts….(uh oh!! Predators!!) rogers (the Herd Members and all)

So. let me Post this Post and I’ll be back to complete whatever it is that I started.

Quick Tip: think you see a clark? Use the handy checklist! Are/Do they:

sort of there, but not really
seem to have kind of a slouchy posture
funny as hell, but only after you’ve figured out that it’s the mumbled ‘asides’ that they are their funniest
really odd fashion choices (girls cute figure, nice legs and giant boots on they feet/ guys clearly trying to blend in… red ties or orange socks with wingtip shoes or maybe, dressed up but…a bow tie, really? a bow tie?!)
smart but in an ‘unadvertised way’

that’s enough for now!

now indeed! I left the house (90 minutes ago), without hitting Publish!!!

11 Web Pages Open -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘clarks and the seduction of creativity’

May 18, 2016 By clarkscottroger

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

Funny, the process becomes the end in itself.

It’s a matter of fact that. of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine, clarks are the creative ones. That being said, we have the ‘Everything Rule’ to remind us that, ‘everything happens to everyone, at one time or another’. So, when it comes to creativity as a quality (available) to people of the three worldviews, it’s not correct to say that scotts and rogers are not/cannot be creative, they can! It’s simply that how (a quality) such as ‘creativity’ manifests is where the difference lies. (And the cool thing is, when you consider the manner in which a thing/quality/characteristic exists for each, the character of that personal reality becomes all the more easily appreciated). Lets take creativity. (please!)

clarks will create (or perhaps it might be more accurate, if not more obscure to say), bring into existence that which has never existed before

rogers will create by taking that which exists (be they tiny tubes of paint, of pieces of wood or even notes on paper) and reconfigure, re-arrange into something unlike any previous arrangement of (tiny tubes of paint, of pieces of wood or even notes on paper)

scotts will take from themselves that which exists within everyone else and present it in a context that no one has, (or can recall), witnessing before

there! pretty simple, isn’t it?

clarks create, rogers innovate and scotts evoke

so the Post subtitle? why do I seem to cast creativity in the role of a temptation that might be better off fed? Because as clarks, we create because we’re Outsiders, we are able to create because we’re Outsiders and, yet, we cannot create within ourselfs the thing that might change our Outsider natures.
