Eli5:why is the mind still such a mystery to us?

It seems to me like we know more about something far like celestial bodies than we do of our own mind. Why is that?

Because we can’t learn much about it without taking it apart, and then it stops working. We learn more as we develop new ways to watch it without destroying it.  

 And of course, we can’t just ask it, because it is a lying liar that lies. A considerable amount of what we think we perceive is a lazyass workaround because it can’t be assed to process the truth.
