"You can't be aware that you've seen a tree until after you've seen the tree, 
and between the instant of vision and instant of awareness there must be a time 
lag. . .The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small 
time lag,
is always in the past."  (Pirsig, ZAMM)

But isn't the "instant of awareness" always in the present and 
"the instant of vision" always in the past?
And what about the lag between the time the light reflects off the tree and

"the instant of vision"?  What does this say about which is the fundamental 
reality?
