Couldn’t one equally suggest that consciousness is content of a mind?
I could be missing something, but I guess the approach I’m saying is identify certain concepts and then label them.
And so far, I haven’t seen much in the way of a standard distinction between consciousness and mind and experience and qualia and phenomenal reality, ect.
I think the most honest thing to say is that as of right now, there isn’t a material, or spatial, or temporal description of how these things are related. Which comes first temporally, which is larger spatially, which is more complex materially. None of those questions have answers.
I think we can say with a pretty straight face that we all have subjective experiences. How that involves minds creating consciousness or consciousness creating minds is something of which I’m skeptical.

You have a point.
“Minds are made of thoughts.”
Is that a coherent thing to say?
Does having a thought make something a mind?
Or does having a mind make something think?
