Hi Marsha, Please explain why. By knowing, are you referring to the intellectual (brain) form of it? Certainly we know a lot more than that. If you are speaking of the communication form of knowing, then the mythos lies beneath that and is expressed as analogies, it is not an analogy, at least according to C. Jung. Certainly spoken or written analogies do not "fill" the collective consciousness of mankind, at least not if you don't let them, perhaps Pirsig does. Analogies are representative, not the real thing.
Why are you in tune with this quote?
