But of course, as I always point out: The above is a model of reality, not reality itself. Where people get hung up is when they confuse the description for the "thing" itself.

There’s actually no confusion at all. The description of a “thing” is known in it’s conception. 

In this conception a concept “known”  knows nothing  -  because nothing, no thing, not a thing, is not a thing that can be described or known. 

Sometimes awareness begins with sensing something before you have the words to understand it.

That’s an elementary issue, regular experience is a trip without tripping.
