I think exploring the space while residing in form may be a better description, and less full of venom then my previous response.
Having the freedom to act in the name of love.
Having the freedom to explore the world, physically and intellectually.
To pursue the form of information and physicality.
To explore my own consciousness.
I guess i am a psycho-naught, more accurately an existence surfer.
From Rumi’s Mathnavi (book III) – a parable most beautiful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day a sufi sees an empty food sack hanging on a nail.
He begins to turn and tear his shirt, saying,
Food for what needs no food!
A cure for hunger!
His burning grows and others join him,
shouting and moaning in the love-fire.
An idle passerby comments, “It’s only an empty sack.”
The sufi says, Leave. You want what we do not want.
You are not a lover.
A lover’s food is the love of bread,
not the bread. No one who really loves,
loves existence.
Lovers have nothing to do with existence.
They collect the interest without the capital.
No wings, yet they fly all over the world. No hands,
but they carry the polo ball from the field.
That dervish got a sniff of reality.
Now he weaves baskets of pure vision.
Lovers pitch tents on a field of nowhere.
They are all one color like that field.
A nursing baby does not know the taste of roasted meat.
To a spirit the foodless scent is food.
To an Egyptian, the Nile looks bloody.
To an Israelite, clear.
What is a highway to one is disaster to the other.
– Mathnawi III, 3014-30

“Right here and now, one quanta away, there is raging a universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien... What is driving religious feeling today is a wish for contact with this other universe.”
