Wow... this is deep. The automatic religious answer is GOD. But I really thought about it, and perhaps the brain challenges itself... like a balance? One part of the brain asks, and the other part answers. Maybe it is the spirit? I do not know, and am interested to see what others come up with.

You have an overly mechanical concept of the human mind ... assuming that you are, in fact, human.
Your initial premise ("The mind is a receiver of knowledge") is incorrect. The mind is NOT a receiver of knowledge. The mind is a receptacle for knowledge. A chalice of knowledge. A vat or cannister or thimble of knowledge, depending on the individual. The receiver for knowledge cane be the ear, the eye, the nose, the mouth, the skin ... the sensoria of the human.
The transmitter of knowledge need not be anything or anyone. Knowledge can be gleaned from the insensible, from the idiotic, from the non-cognizant.
So, ask a fuzzy question, get a fuzzy answer.

Everything you have experienced in life, whether it's something bad that has happened to you or if it's a book or person that has influenced your like. Everything you come in contact with is a transmitter of knowledge in some way.

The mind is a computer and storage device for data. You are the evalueator of data. You also pose future problems in your mind and solve them before they have occured. That is the ability to predict and solve future problems. All things are meaningless untill we asign meaning to them. The number 2 would mean nothing to a squerll because he assigns it no meaning. Anything that means somehing to you is because you have assigned it meaning through eduication of the agreements of society. We all agree that 2 means 2. Then there are things that you assign meaningness to that only you agree apon. Like the smell of fresh cut grass = pleasure.
So to answer the question. The transimitter of knowldgeone who communicates in a language that you can agree to the meaningness of and understand the knowldge communicated.

The transmitter of knowledge is the person, including books, with more knowledge than you. Once you have learned what that person knows he/she can no longer transmit knowledge without receiving more his or her self.

you, yourself, are the transmitter and reciever, seeing as how you can choose what you do and dont transmit to yourelf. Example: you want to read a book and retain the information in it, therefore you are transmiting the knowlege to your brain. If you dont want to remember the contents of the book, all you have to do is read it and not totaly transmit it to your memory banks

Whatever you come into contact with or allow yourself to be influenced by. Here you have to be careful as by now, we're all pretty much aware all the input doesn't come from us. That there are in fact unscrupulous, if criminal sources that effectively invade the thought process via extant technologies. Which everybody SWEARS doesn't exist. ' Whuuuuuuuut?'

The mind receives God's revelation of himself in the creation.
