The Principles of Reality

I will be talking about the First Principles. The principles of reality. Without basic first principles of reality, nothing can be known. Everything we know about reality is known by them. Twelve basic first principles can be set forth.
1) Being Is (B is)= The Principle of Existence
2) Being is Being (B is B)= The Principle of Indentity
3) Being is not non-being (Either is no Non-B= The Principle of Non-contradiction.
4) Either Being or Non-being (Either B or Non-B)= The Principle of the Excluded Middle.
5) Non-being Cannot Cause Being (Non-B>B)= The Principle of Causality.
6) Contingent Being Cannot Cause Contingent Being (Bc>Bc)= The Principle of Contingency or (Dependency).
7) Only Necessary Being Can Cause a Contingent Being (Bn -> Bc) = The Positive Principle of Modality.
8) Necessary Being Cannot Cause a Necessary Being (Bn>Bn)= The Negative Principle of Modality.
9) Every contingent Being is Caused by a Necessary Being (Bn -> Bc)= The Principle of Existential Causality.
10) Necessary Being exists= Principle of Existential Necessity (Bn exists).
11) Contingent being exists= Principle of Existential Contingency (Bc exists).
12) Necessary Being is similar to similar contingent being(s) it causes= Principle of Analogy (Bn- similar -> Bc).

For a realist, being is the basis of knowing. The rationality Rene Descartes said, "I think, therefore, I am." But for a realist such as Thomas Aquinas, " I am, therefore, I think." For one could not think unless he existed. Existence is the foundation to everything. Being is the basis for everything. Everything is being. Hence, there is no distinction between the rational and the real. Thought cannot be separated from things or knowing from being.
