Is mind separate from consciousness or do we still keep it as a single entity?

In Spirituality there is no 'I', in the context of Ahamkara 'I' is a collection of 'invented things'. In Jungian psychology 'I' is the ego, which is the 'result' of perceptual reality. The psychology and the Spirituality are one and the same given various stages of translation.

What do you mean by 'entity'? You and everyone else on this planet is an 'entity', both individually and as a collective. Spiritually there are no entities if "We are One." Don't forget there are also collective of collectives. If you're looking for answers here, good frameworks of understanding are Gestalt Reality and fractals.

Every Spirit I've 'talked to' has been an 'individual' and many times I thought I was talking to a person. The models on which we build our beliefs seems to be flawed at best.

Mind is part of the 'mechanisms' that 'create' consciousness, horribly simply, and without mind consciousness would be stunted.

We can't have thoughts without a brain, thoughts are 'generated' by the brain. Those pesky signals flying around in your noggin.

In Spirituality there is no time, time is a construct. Spirit has a very different perspective on time and it's not linear like ours. Spirit is capable of 'predicting the future' because to them, what we would call the future is happening right here right now.

In science and quantum theory, all of time is happening all of the time and all of time affects all of time all of the time. We're 'here' because we're already 'there'.

In that an individual ego finds status, and the old saying is "A wealth of knowledge".

All these ideas and side-conversations are interesting but largely irrelevant to the thread title, that of teaching via mediumship.

Mediumship can play a number of roles - showing how we survive death, teaching us a little about what happens when we pass over and healing being the most important ones.

Spirit guides don't go into great detail, presumably because they know that whatever they tell us in words can never adequately convey the rich complexity of the world of the spirit. We are like children beginning school with everything needing to be kept simple, building a little on what's been taught and learned earlier - up to a point.

No matter how accomplished any teacher may be, a child can learn only up to its personal capacity to understand what's being taught. It's the same for us adults learning from spirit guides through mediumship. Even the most accomplished academic may not understand any better than a regular guy.

Guides communicating through mediumship can go only to a certain point because listeners do not have the capability to understand beyond it.

It's a smart-donkey statement but it's equally the case that someone does know what they are talking about but does not have the ability to explain.

Someone hearing an explanation may not have the ability to assess if it's kosher! For example I don't know what time not being linear actually means in practice so I can't challenge ideas put forward.

It's all very well referring to quantum theory but we don't know if it applies in the etheric dimensions. We are just assuming it does.

Tracker says in 'What Dreams May Come' "You'll hear a lot of smart stuff around here.It's usually right." But in this physical dimension that may not be the case.
