EP 200 — Dr. Ibrahim Karim — the Physics of Quality

Metaphors as Reality Key takeaways: - Different cultures use metaphors to explain reality based on their cultural and historical basis - Each group took their metaphors as reality due to male consciousness closing the door to understanding - This is dangerous because everyone believes their story is right and we end up destroying ourselves trying to defend our stories Transcript: Speaker 1 So if you were er in ancient egypt, or in ancient judea, in the arab world, or in china, or so you, you must choose things from the cultural basis there and the historical basis as a way to explain er the hidden reality. Now, the problem is, instead of under standing that these are different metaphors based on cultural basis, to explain reality. Speaker 4 Each e group took the metaphors as reality. Speaker 1 You know why? Because the male in consciousness. It's closing the door. It's pulling you away from so they look at these stories. They don't see what's behind them. They only see the stories. Now this is very dangerous, because you have here so many different stories, and everybody believes his story is right. So we will start destroying ourselves because we're trying to defend our stories that and don't want to understand that these are just metaphors for a real thing we don't want to acknowledge.
