The attempt to see things as they are does not mean seeing them without any conceptualisation whatsoever. Conceptualisation is not somehow “external” to reality.
So we are not trying to see reality without the distortions of language and concepts (that is just another subtle duality, addictive because what it promises to destroy is generated by the promise itself). We are including language and concepts as the potentially deluded aspect of experience, and not removing them. Seeing delusion as delusion. Seeing what is conditioned as conditioned, and seeing the seeing itself as an aspect of the conditioning.
