TekARK Book One: Basic Concepts

TekARK offers an alternative idea on religion, one that's shaped primarily by the modern world. Aided by scientific theory and fact, it draws together the notion of the divine with the idea of the Simulation Hypothesis. At the same time, however, it also holds that all ancient major religions are in fact real and true, having come from the very same divinity in order to spark differentiation in our world.

In Book One, we explore some of the most basic and fundamental of concepts that pave the way towards exploring the notion of a simulated reality and still later works. Topics that are discussed include the rate of mankind's progress in technological wonders, the idea of human civilization as a constantly maturing and evolving singular entity, where God is in today's world and why He hasn't "appeared" of late, and the actual divine legitimacy of most major religions.

Furthermore, in beginning to set the stage for delving into such simulated ideas, we explore the idea that advanced technology and ideas are in fact indistinguishable from "magic", how Creators are almost always reflected in their own Creations, and the assertion that science and God are one and the very same! In addition to all of this content, there is a lengthy overview of everything the TekARK trilogy will contain included at the very beginning of this work.

As already stated, the ultimate goal of Book One is to both lay the groundwork for what's to come alongside answering a few eternal questions we all pose, such as where God is in today's world. It also puts forth certain essential concepts, such as the idea that all major religious faiths and their primary sacred works did indeed come from the very same, quite real, God/divinity.

This work is primarily intended for those who have been searching for their faith, yet have always come up empty thus far; those of a realist/scientific bent, who seek to explore their own faith whilst still retaining their core principles and understandings; or merely the curious and inquisitive sort, who are perfectly content in their beliefs but are always desiring to continue expanding their minds with new knowledge.

TekARK sprung out of my own beliefs, consisting entirely of them, when I myself found that no existing faith adhered to exactly what I saw and thought of this world. Since my beliefs evolved to become so markedly different from anything else "out there", I committed to writing them down and sharing them with the world at large that others in my position might not have to craft something entirely from scratch in order to express and understand their faith. Likewise, they merely are my own beliefs, and nothing more than that - whether others should find them useful in their own lives or not, I cannot say, only that this is what "worked" here for me.
