Imagine-
A series of lenses - suspended - illuminated by an inner light which pervades the spaces between. Holding it, held by it, crafted by it, poured through it. Each of us, each autonomous cross-section of infinite, we are those lenses, reflecting and seeing eternity in a different way. We are but a layer in the strand of the infinite black star of infinity. -this is dialectics- We are the smallest part of the infinite because we are no longer a unified whole. We physical beasts are the only incomplete part of creation. We are imperfect. When the perfect and the imperfect connect there is life, there is existence. We are the cause and it is the cause. WE do not exist apart from one another. Our shattered fragment is the flint to the tinder of perfection. When we strike against one another there is life, there is existence. I AM is caused by this striking. We are all connected and this infinity is but a lens on the infinite spiral of a more infinite infinity.

Dictionary definitions are funny, but in this case all together those do explain it at a very basic level. Dialectics is life and will never truly be grasped.
