A Reflection On The Ontological Argument

One need not argue from the concept of a 'most perfect BEING' to the existence of such a being. Rather, the very concept of perfection, of 'the perfect' holds the key to the argument.

If personhood and necessary existence both are part of the very concept of perfection then an argument for God's existence flows naturally.
