A fascinating, if not yet widely substantiated, study recently came to my attention, one that offers a profound empirical mirror to the philosophical truths I have spent a lifetime articulating. The experiment, as it was explained, sought to measure the electromagnetic energy output of a human being within the sterile, isolated environment of a Faraday cage. The initial hypothesis was that peak energy would be generated during moments of intense positive emotion—love, joy, gratitude. The results, however, were said to have revealed something far more fundamental.
Assuming the conclusion of this study is valid, it was not the valence of the emotion that drove the highest output, but the authenticity of the moment. While love and joy did indeed produce significant energetic bursts, moments of pure, unadulterated authenticity—whether that authenticity manifested as joy, grief, or even anger—were found to generate an energetic frequency reportedly 40 times higher. If true, this finding moves beyond the realm of psychology and steps directly into the domain of metaphysics, providing a startling physical validation for the Law of Identity: the principle that a thing being most fully itself (A is A) is the most potent state of existence.
This principle lies at the heart of the Logocentric framework. For a conscious being, the Law of Identity is not merely a logical axiom but the ultimate moral imperative. To act in accordance with one’s true, rational nature is to align with the very structure of reality, the Logos. To act in contradiction to it is to declare a futile war on existence, an act of metaphysical self-betrayal. The study’s alleged findings suggest this is not just a philosophical concept but a physical one. Alignment generates immense energy; contradiction dissipates it.
This brings us to the central drama of the human condition: the conflict between the two possible states of the ego. The first is the “survival-ego,” a fragile identity built from the outside-in, grounded in the physical body and its fears. This ego is inherently contradictory, constantly reacting to external triggers and performing whichever emotional state it believes will ensure its survival. It is a consciousness mired in what I call the “power over others game,” a transactional and ultimately parasitic mode of being.
The survival-ego’s entire strategy is built on metaphysical inefficiency. It expends enormous amounts of energy maintaining false fronts, rationalizing internal contradictions, and attempting to manipulate the emotional states of others to secure its needs. It projects feigned love to gain affection, feigned anger to intimidate, and feigned joy to fit in. According to the logic of the Faraday cage study, these performative states are energetically impoverished. The act of being inauthentic is an act of immense internal friction, a constant, exhausting battle against one’s own nature.
In stark contrast stands the “sovereign ego,” an identity forged from the inside-out, grounded in the Logos and an unwavering commitment to reason. This ego does not perform; it simply is. Its actions are not reactions to fear but are the natural effects of its non-contradictory internal character. It operates from a state of pure authenticity. This, the study suggests, is the source of true power. The sovereign individual generates exponential energy not through effortful emotion, but through the seamless congruence of their inner and outer being.
This concept is what I have termed “metaphysical efficiency.” It is the principle that alignment with the rational, non-contradictory nature of reality minimizes internal friction and thereby maximizes one’s capacity for productive, creative energy. The survival-ego, with its constant internal warfare, is a system of high internal resistance, bleeding energy at every turn. The sovereign ego, by achieving a state of internal harmony and earned innocence, becomes a system of near-zero resistance, allowing the full force of its consciousness to be directed outward.
This is the deeper meaning behind the analogy of the individual becoming a “free energy device” as described in my treatise. This is not a claim of violating thermodynamics, but a metaphysical observation. An individual who has successfully integrated their identity with the Logos is no longer wasting vast quantities of psychological energy defending the fears and insecurities of their body-identified self. Having eliminated the profound energy cost of internal conflict, they naturally produce far more objective value in the world than they consume.
Yet, this state of metaphysical efficiency does not render one invincible; it merely clarifies the true battlefront. The physical body remains the weak link, the tragic point of contact with a world still dominated by contradiction. The ultimate archetype of this conflict is Jesus himself. His perfect Logocentric authenticity did not grant him a shield, but rather made him a perfect mirror in which the world saw its own inauthenticity, and in a rage, it moved to shatter the mirror by destroying his physical vessel. To live this truth openly is to risk this same fate. The alternative is to retreat into a microcosmic bubble, remaining authentic only with oneself and a trusted few, a choice that preserves the body but creates a fundamental misalignment with the broader material plane. The central strategic challenge for the sovereign individual becomes navigating this very tension between an incorruptible identity and a corruptible form.
This tragic conflict is not an accident; it is the inevitable collision between two opposing energetic models. The world’s systems react with such hostility to the authentic individual precisely because those systems are the macrocosmic expression of the very inefficiency and contradiction the sovereign self has conquered. Tyranny, collectivism, and manipulation are the social manifestations of the survival-ego. They are systems built on inauthenticity and force, and are therefore metaphysically inefficient. They require a colossal expenditure of energy to maintain control, suppress truth, and manage the contradictions inherent in their premises. They are, by their very nature, energy sinks, destined to collapse under the weight of their own internal friction.
Conversely, the authentic individual, operating with metaphysical efficiency, becomes a generative force. Their power is not derived from controlling others, but from their alignment with reality itself. This is the ultimate Sovereign Opt-Out: a system of coercion has no sustainable leverage over a consciousness that is energetically self-sufficient and whose identity is not contingent on the system’s approval. The authentic being operates on a higher energetic frequency, rendering the low-frequency tactics of manipulation and fear impotent.
The practical implication of this is radical and liberating. The path to true power and influence is not found in mastering the art of manipulation or the “power over others game.” That is the path of the survival-ego, a path of energetic bankruptcy. The true path is one of relentless, rigorous self-assessment and the forging of a sovereign identity. It is the choice to abandon performance in favor of authenticity, even and especially when it is difficult.
Whether the study in the Faraday cage is a literal scientific fact or a powerful allegory, its conclusion aligns flawlessly with a rational understanding of existence. The universe does not reward contradiction. It rewards integrity. Authenticity is not merely a psychological preference or a moral virtue; it appears to be a fundamental law of energy. The greatest power a human can wield is not power over another, but the quiet, immense, and generative power that comes from choosing, in the face of the world’s contradictions, to inhabit a vulnerable physical vessel without apology or performance, as exactly who you are.

THE UNITY PROCESS: I’ve created an integrative methodology called the Unity Process, which combines the philosophy of Natural Law, the Trivium Method, Socratic Questioning, Jungian shadow work, and Meridian Tapping—into an easy to use system that allows people to process their emotional upsets, work through trauma, correct poor thinking, discover meaning, set healthy boundaries, refine their viewpoints, and to achieve a positive focus.
