"Experience is something that is temporarily extended and active. Perceptual consciousness is a style of access to the world around us. I can touch something, and when I touch something I make use of an understanding of the way in which my own movements help me secure access to that which is before me. The point is not that merely that I learn about or achieve access to the world by touching. The point is that the thing shows up for me as something in a space of movement-oriented possibilities".

Spot on.

Great stuff. On a related note, I would highly recommend Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain.

Not only does the brain grow new brain cells in defiance of what we previously thought, the process is intimately tied to physical exertion and motion.

To be conscious is to move. Plants don't need brains.
