Abstract

Contemporary philosophical discussions about reality often depend on the concept of a Necessary Being to explain existence, order, and causation. While this approach has been influential, it also raises unresolved questions regarding dependency, origin, and the nature of existence itself. This paper introduces The Theory of Interconnection, a non-theistic philosophical framework grounded in the principles of Soulism, which seeks to explain reality without relying on the assumption of a Necessary Being. The theory proposes that reality is not founded on a single absolute entity but emerges through continuous interconnection among consciousness, nature, and material processes. Using a conceptual and comparative philosophical method, the paper examines traditional theistic and atheistic models of reality and highlights their limitations in accounting for relational existence and lived experience. In contrast, the Soulism perspective emphasizes interdependence, experiential awareness, and continuity as fundamental features of reality. The paper argues that coherence, meaning, and responsibility can arise from interconnected processes rather than from metaphysical necessity.
