IYKYK. If you know, you know. Or do you? Is knowledge as reliable as we think it to be?
“Knowledge is structured in consciousness,” is one of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's most profound and most frequently shared quotes. Ironically, one’s understanding of the quote is also dependent on one’s consciousness.
Thom’s explanation of Maharishi’s quote gives us an opportunity to reflect on that which we ‘know,’ and even our own process of knowing and how this evolves along with our states of consciousness.
It’s a reminder that things are not always as they seem, and to remain flexible in how we view the world and our place in it.
