IWhat is the unconditioned?
-Some people call it the mind. But it can't be the human mind because the human mind is conditioned. is it the human mind or is it something else?

hello again, ScaredOne

the unconditioned is not the mind but it does refer to the mind that is not conditioned by emotions & thoughts

a simple example is pure water. the pure water is not conditioned by impurities, such as dirt, colour, flavours, etc

the term "unconditioned" refers to the quality of the water rather than to the water itself

similarly, as the mind has the nature to know & experience, when the mind is free from emotions & thoughts, experiencing this is experiencing the unconditioned

kind regards
