Consciousness and philosophy

.(A response to a Facebook post denying the existence of mind.)

Is mind being confused with consciousness, here? 

In the Vedas, and many other spiritual teachings, consciousness is the one thing we cannot deny. 

Everything else, such as thoughts and sensations, are objects in consciousness, which would either not exist, or not be known about, were it not for consciousness. 

This is the primary philosophical teaching. 

Western philosophy seems to largely ignore this primary truth, which is why much or all of it will eventually evaporate into the winds.
