The Meta-No/Yes is Used Out of Context. The Meta-No (and Yes) is elicited in a particular context (e.g. pushing a child in front of a bus). That No is a response to the person's values as they exist in that context. Then the Meta-No is applied to the limiting belief, which exists in a different context, with different values operating. While there may be some overlap between the values expressed in the two contexts, they are likely to be at least somewhat different, and may be very, very different indeed. For instance, the values existing in the experience of “not pushing a child in front of a bus” are certainly very different than the values involved in “giving up a regular job.” So the Meta-No is in response to values that may be entirely irrelevant to the context of the belief it is applied to! Put another way, the Meta-No is in response to values in one context; when applied to a different context, it ignores the values that are expressed in that context, and this is another source of incongruence.
