The source of existence does not itself exist. The necessary precondition for a property can never possess that property itself.

This would be clearer if you could explicitly state what you mean when you assert that something exists, but I very strongly suspect you can't do so. (You're hardly alone in this, so it's no particular shame if it's the case.) I could of course be mistaken.
