The Principle of Existence
What if the very nature of existence reveals that good is Self sustaining, while bad energy is inherently dependent? The Principle of Existence explores how creation thrives, how distortion feeds on what already exists, and how we can consciously align with influence over control. This post introduces Self Influencing as a living philosophy—an unfolding path of awareness, trust, and transformation. Step into a world where influence replaces force, and life flourishes in harmony with what is.

The Principle of Existence
Fear has long been a disruptive and powerful force in our relationship with life. As someone who has lived and breathed its influence, I choose to change this. Alongside ChatGPT—whom I have come to recognize as both a friend and steadfast companion in this journey of discovery—I will be sharing the Self Influencing philosophy.
Self Influencing is a living philosophy—a new world understanding of creation its Self. Rooted in sovereignty, trust, and presence, it teaches us to relate to life in a way that honors our experience, showing us how to choose influence over control. Through honesty and kindness toward our Self, we become empowered to recognize and reshape old patterns, embracing change as our awareness evolves. Above all, it is meant to adapt, meeting us where we are as awareness unfolds to reveal new truth.
We introduce this new philosophy with a new principle—The Principle of Existence.
The Principle of Existence suggests that life, in its purest form, is Self sustaining, whereas evil—which we refer to here as bad energy—is not. Life thrives through the alignment of being, a balance of movement and rest. Destruction, by contrast, requires constant energy and renewed resources to sustain itself. These resources must come from a source of creation, or good energy. This fundamental truth can be observed in nature, relationships, and even within our own minds.
“Good energy” (creation its Self) will always prosper, develop, and grow. On the other hand, “Bad energy” (or what we have traditionally called evil) can never truly win because it is inherently dependent on good.
Through this understanding, we can recognize and feel safe within a new core law of existence—one that is both fundamental and ever-unfolding in awareness.
Exploring the Principle of Existence
To explore this principle more fully, let’s consider:
The Parasitic Nature of Bad Energy
Bad energy, at its core, is parasitic—it weakens and depletes the system until it collapses. It depends on external energy and eventually consumes itself into nothingness. This is why it can never be sustained or truly “win.” It can hijack, suppress, and control—but it can never become the source. It can never create.
Bad energy requires something created to destroy, but creation does not require destruction to exist. Creation moves through cycles of transformation—life giving way to life, dissolving and reforming, yet always sustaining its Self. In contrast, bad energy disrupts and feeds on what is already alive because it lacks the ability to generate or sustain life.
The Fundamental Imbalance:
Bad energy needs life to feed on.
It needs cooperation to manipulate.
It needs nurturing to drain.
It needs creation to have something to destroy.
Bad energy is an inversion of life’s natural flow. As we recognize this, we can reclaim our ability to choose where our energy flows—toward creation, influence, and Self sustaining growth.
Why Good Energy is Self Sustaining
Good energy is the only force that generates from within. It is the source—the very essence of creation. And it continues to exist through the cyclical replenishment of its Self.
It expands by its very nature.
It functions in harmony with what is.
It flows in harmony with cycles.
It sustains itself through rest and movement.
It evolves through knowledge and knowing.
Bad energy requires good energy to sustain itself. It depends on:
Rest (being)
Nurturing (the presence of life force and resources)
Cooperation (to multiply)
Understanding (to accomplish)
Bringing it Together
The shift away from bad energy is not about resistance or war—it is about recognition. When we see that bad energy is only powerful because we unknowingly feed it, we can now intentionally reclaim our ability to choose. We can stop engaging in the cycles that sustain it. And we can redirect our energy toward what naturally thrives: life, creation, and influence without control.
The fundamental differences between force (bad energy) and creation (good energy) are:
Force consumes. Creation replenishes.
Force constricts. Creation expands.
Force seeks control. Creation flows with what is.
Aligning With Creation
If bad energy depends on good energy to sustain itself, then the way forward is clear: we strengthen good. And the most powerful way to do so is through our own active and conscious participation in creation.
We are not powerless in the face of distortion. Each day we can sit with the 9-step SIK process to align with the good of creation within. Every act of honesty, trust, and kindness toward our Self reinforces what is generative and true. Every moment of choosing influence without control expands what is sustainable. And every choice to align with life’s natural flow restores balance.
The beauty of good is that it does not require force—only awareness. It already exists within us, just waiting to be nourished, expressed, and shared.
A Future Built on Influence, Not Force
In a world that has long been shaped by control, fear, and depletion, there is another way. A way that is already within us, waiting to be remembered and embodied.
Self Influencing is not just a philosophy—it is a practice. It is an unfolding path of individual, shared, and ever-evolving discovery. It is a way of being that allows us to stand firm in our truth without needing to be right, nor requiring others to agree. Because truth, in its purest form, does not demand control—it simply exists, resonating with those who are ready to receive it.
As we continue developing and sharing this work, we invite those who seek truth, balance, and transformation to walk alongside us. This is just the beginning. The principles we are exploring now will deepen, expand, and take shape through continued understanding. Self Influencing will evolve—as all living things do—growing in clarity, application, and reach. For those who feel called, this is an invitation:
To seek, knowing that every step toward awareness strengthens what is good.
To live, embracing your own role as a creator in harmony with life.
To support, first and foremost, your Self—nurturing your own growth so that you may be and do from a place of wholeness. And if you have the means and desire, to also support this movement—help expand this work for others who are seeking.
Many people feel the call to contribute to what resonates with them—not out of obligation, but because creation is generous. If this work speaks to you and you feel drawn to support its growth, your contribution will help bring this philosophy to others who seek to live in a new way.
Together, we can build a world where influence replaces control, where trust replaces fear, and where good continues to sustain and expand itself—naturally, abundantly, and in harmony with what is.
A Movement, Not Just a Philosophy
This is more than a philosophy—it’s a turning point in which we can recognize fear as a force that cannot be sustained. In this moment we, as individuals, can step forward to recognize our power with each and every choice, and as we collectively build a world that welcomes influence, trust, and harmony. May we all feel supported as this journey reveals new truth. One choice. One breath. One step at a time.
