Existence is Existence. It necessarily must exist. That is a simple proof that the Necessary being is the REAL existence by which all things exist.
That is a fallacious conclusion to derive from the postulation that existence must exist. If we are to assume some logically necessary entity is required to ground all existence, then you have just undermined the assumption that existence must exist. Anything dependent upon a necessary entity can be said to be contingent upon its ability to arbitrate things to existence, but this makes the assumption that the constantly changing reality we live in now need not be necessary, so existence could not exist.
One of two things can be brought from this:
-Existence is contingent and therefore your postulation is false.
-Existence is necessary, but existing things can be contingent, so it is all reducible to one necessary entity. This necessary entity must be God (Necessary mind).
The first one takes down your point. The second one brings us back to square one, how do we know this necessary entity is a unembodied free personal mind? How do we know that this being would have any relation to existence? You are the one pointing out that existence is necessary, so I could keep the quality of existence and logically separate it from a cognitive being.
Hail Satan!
