Can the experience of knowing be the same for everyone?

Knowing is a deeply personal experience, shaped by the unique essence of each individual; no two consciousnesses can ever perceive the same event in the same way.

— Osho
According to Osho, the experience of knowing cannot be the same for everyone. Knowing arises from one’s total, unique being—what he calls the soul—so no two consciousnesses meet an event identically. Words only approximate and often distort this uniqueness; our agreements are provisional. A scientist, poet, or painter meet the same flower differently, proving that experience mirrors individuality, not objective sameness.

No—because each person is one-of-a-kind, whatever we know or feel is colored by who we are.
