There’s a bit of lag ofc. Like when you strike a piano key and the sound takes a while to reach your ears. We live in perpetual lag of a fraction of second with respect to the present moment, but that’s what our brain reacts to when a vase falls to the ground or when you have to catch a ball. That’s our present. I meditate and I can imprison my conscience to that, eliminating all the rest, all the thoughts, worries, remembrances. Ofc that’s not something I’m able to maintain for long periods of time but that’s what I mean when I say staying in the present moment.
