Are citta, mano and viññana just different aspects of "the mind" or are them independent ways of cognition.

I would speculate they are just different aspects of "the mind"

For example, it is common to speak of "the heart vs the head"

However, to translate 'mano' exclusively as 'intellect', as Thanissaro does, does not fit all dhamma teachings, especially 'mano' as a sense organ
