It's kind of a loaded question isn't it Mikey Mike .
If we say like I do often that there is only what you are .. then only what you are knows and is aware that they are not separate from oneness -
The problemo is that many like to divide everything up into neat boxes and tick them all. So we have self in one box, the ego in another etc etc .
Of the mind there is awareness of a self that can ask such questions and give relative answers .
So in context this mindful self is whom that knows .
What this mindful self is, is each to their own, but it's kinda futile to say it's consciousness or anything else that isn't realised as such .
All we can do is be aware of ourselves of this experience . Beyond the experience there is self awareness also, but there wouldn't be the thought of such a question in regards to whom am I that knows .
So there has to be context .
