In my previous article, "The Trinity of Solotheism: Time, Love, and Cycles," I presented a philosophical framework that defined divinity as an impersonal structure of reality—one shaped by Time, Love, and Cycles. It reflected a search for meaning in abstract, mystical interpretations of universal phenomena. Yet, as my perspective has evolved, particularly in light of recent personal experiences and reflections, I find it necessary to revisit and critically re-evaluate those positions.
Today, I identify clearly as an atheist, firmly rejecting supernatural claims. This shift does not diminish my awe for the universe; rather, it refines my appreciation for reality grounded in evidence and rational understanding.
The concept of "Time" as a mystical force has been replaced by recognizing it as a measurable, observable dimension through which events unfold. It does not imply purpose or intention—it simply exists as a condition of our universe, describable by physics rather than metaphysics.
"Love," previously described as an integrative principle hinting at transcendence, I now understand as an evolutionary adaptation and neurological phenomenon. Love fosters social cohesion and mutual survival—beautiful and meaningful precisely because it is inherently human, not divine.
"Cycles," once viewed as metaphysical renewal or cosmic rebirth, I now interpret through natural processes and scientific laws: stellar evolution, ecological patterns, and evolutionary biology. These cycles are not orchestrated by an intelligent force but are outcomes of natural laws and probabilities.
Moving beyond Solotheism has clarified my ethical responsibilities in a universe indifferent to human concerns. Without supernatural beliefs, I find greater urgency in addressing injustice, suffering, and ignorance through tangible, actionable efforts rather than abstract spiritual speculation.
Reality is sufficiently wondrous without supernatural embellishment. Embracing atheism has granted me deeper intellectual honesty, ethical clarity, and a renewed sense of connectedness—to humanity and to the cosmos, authentically grounded in observable truth.
