Who's minding the mind?

Mind? If this means anything, what it means is not it.
There is no such 'thing' as mind... apart from the idea of 'mind'... which 'idea' is not what thought says it is.
It is 'that which is known as mind'... and 'what' is that?
No idea.

For the mind there are NO answers. . . Only questions.
When this realisation is surrended, it is seen there is only ONE question to ALL our answers.

No idea.
Mind is the only instrument known to man that is sensitive enough to detect an idea. No idea means no thought, which means no mind, which means the access to mind is closed either permanently (death of the body) or temporarily (for various reasons.)
Because sensory gates are open and triggering thoughts as evidenced by writing, then “no idea,” is an inaccurate idiom that actually means refusal to think, for the concept of “no idea,” indicates that the portal to mind that you are as awareness, is open and registering thought concepts.
A philosophy forum is an inappropriate place for refusing to think.

Such a dumb response.
Mind is an idea.
What is an idea. I have no idea, but know every idea as and when it arises.
Just try refusing an idea.

It's another way of asking who is knowing the knowing, who is feeling the feeling, or who is experiencing the experience?

I shall endeavour to persevere with approved content appropriate to incomprehension of the unknowable, and to be extra attentive for appearances of the rhetorical interrogative.

If mind is what everything appears in, then the one supposedly minding the mind is also an appearance in the mind.
