I made a cognitive shift today while tapping. It was on the subject of unfairness. I was angry about someone at work receiving preferential treatment.
And while I was tapping, I realized that I had a lot of unfairness issues manifesting in my life.
Joe Schroeder says that "What you give away, you get to keep."
I give "being fair" away all the time.
I've been outraged lots of times on other's behalf at the unfairness I've witnessed and when I was able to intervene and do something about it, I have.
It's been that way since I was a child.
So, it seems like if Joe's statement that "What you give away, you get to keep" were true, then being treated fairly would be my reward. Why not? I give fair away all the time.
But that was not what was happening in my life. I could site lots of examples in the past and in my current reality where I witnessed unfairness to others and myself.
So suddenly, during my cognitive shift, it occurred to me that I believed that fairness was a moral principle and unfairness was breaking this principle.
But what if fairness/unfairness wasn't the issue or even relevant to anything that actually really existed.
What if my outrage about myself and others being treated unfairly was a block that I had an emotional charge on?
And what if, based on the law of attraction, this emotional charge was drawing similar situations to me where I witnessed unfairness or was treated unfaily.
Which, of course, once again, had the effect of provoking my outrage and anger.
And it would continue like some vicious non-stop never-ending cycle that reoccurs and reoccurs until you figure out the true lesson of it.
So if this new analysis of the situation were true, then Joe's statement that "What you give, you get to keep," would also be true.
What I'd been giving out was outrage and anger over unfairness and what I was getting was more outrage and anger over unfairness.
If I cleared this block, would I stop drawing those kinds of situations to me?
Or would those situations still exist but I wouldn't notice them anymore because I no longer had any emotional charge on them?
Or would I see those situations and simply realize that those people who were drawing those situations to them were doing so because of their own emotional blocks about fairness and unfairness.
What if all the truths I thought I knew were actually incorrect thinking that had turned into blocks holding me and others in a place none of us even wanted to be in.
So I decided to take care of things on my end and see what happened.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
