The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Parmenides by Plato: fail to imply the other? is the one wanting to being, or being to the one?
Impossible.
Thus, each of the parts also has in turn both one and being, and is at the
least made up of two parts; and the same principle goes on for ever, and
every part whatever has always these two parts; for being always involves
one, and one being; so that one is always disappearing, and becoming two.
Certainly.
And so the one, if it is, must be infinite in multiplicity?
Clearly.
Let us take another direction.
What direction?
