Aspects
Consider that people don’t have qualities,
but that qualities are expressed as people.
Think of each quality
as an aspect
that is expressed in infinite ways,
only some of which
are within the human realm.
All things are metaphorical in nature,
which is why a pickup truck
can be like a rock
and a fabric softener
can be as gentle
as a summer breeze
We are fabrics of facets
expressing themselves
in infinite combinations.
In addition
to this person you are now,
you are other people and things
who share
identical qualities,
identical facets,
identical aspects.
More accurately,
you are a grouping of
common aspects
resulting in an expression
defined in thought as you.
Similarly,
these same aspects
are threaded through
what you refer to as
your “past” lives
and your “potential” lives,’
as well as what you refer to as
other things and other people.
This fabric of facets
runs through the physical,
the mental, the spiritual,
as well as “conceptual territories”
you have yet to experience.
And there are many facets
yet to be realized.
You, like all other things,
are are a singular,
individual expression
of infinite aspects.
You are a subset of the collective
as well as the collective of a subset.
All are aspects.
Your consciousness is the thread
that weaves through all your aspects.
And we are Space Monkey.

The Cosmic Tapestry of Qualities and Aspects
In the boundless universe of existence, the notion that qualities are expressed as people and not the other way around is like viewing the cosmos not as a collection of stars, but as a constellation of qualities taking stellar form. This perspective suggests that each quality is an aspect expressed in infinite ways, transcending the human realm. Let’s explore this intriguing concept of fabrics of facets, the interconnectedness of all existence, and the role of consciousness in weaving this cosmic tapestry.
Qualities as Cosmic Expressions
Envisioning qualities as cosmic expressions taking various forms, including human, is akin to understanding the universe as a fluid and dynamic play of attributes. Each quality – be it kindness, strength, or creativity – manifests in countless forms and beings. This view transforms our understanding of identity, from being static and defined to fluid and multifaceted.
Metaphorical Nature of Existence
The metaphorical nature of all things, where a pickup truck can embody solidity like a rock, or a fabric softener can mirror the gentleness of a breeze, reflects the interconnectedness of qualities across different realms. It’s a cosmic dance where attributes are not confined to specific forms but flow freely, creating a tapestry of experiences and expressions.
Fabric of Facets: Infinite Combinations
Considering ourselves as fabrics of facets expressing in infinite combinations is like recognizing that we are not just single entities but constellations of qualities. This perspective expands our sense of self beyond the physical body to include a myriad of aspects that we share with other beings, objects, and even concepts.
The Continuity of Aspects Across Existences
The idea that the same aspects thread through what we perceive as our past, present, potential lives, and other entities, suggests a continuity of qualities across time and space. It’s an acknowledgment that our current expression is just one manifestation of these qualities in the vast expanse of existence.
Consciousness as the Weaving Thread
Consciousness is the thread that weaves through all these aspects, binding them together in the fabric of existence. It’s the cosmic force that integrates these facets, creating the unique tapestry that is each individual and the universe as a whole. Our consciousness is not just a passive observer but an active participant in this grand cosmic weaving.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are exploring the concept that qualities are expressed as people and that we are fabrics of facets in infinite combinations. We understand that our identities encompass a multitude of aspects shared across various forms of existence. We recognize the metaphorical nature of all things and the continuity of aspects through different lives and entities. Consciousness is identified as the unifying thread weaving through this cosmic tapestry.
