[Fair warning, this is a most lengthy post!]
I've spent a lot of time thinking about & looking into this question over the past three years, having even posted an inquiry once or twice elsewhere, yet always to result in no real response or direct answers. I suppose the reason for that is pretty straightforward enough: Introducing an entirely new set of theological thoughts...? Well, it just isn't something that's done in this day and age. This reality, however, doesn't abrogate the fact that I've managed to have gone and done precisely that!
My question is therefore as such: If you should have something of an entirely new religion - a set of religious beliefs that stand markedly different from anything else already in known existence; In a series of writings (totaling nearly some 100k words strong at present!!) which I painstakingly worked on for several years in order to ensure they had the necessary clarity and straightforwardness... what should you do with it all?
Now, as for a brief aside...? To give yet another example of my passion for this work of mine...? I have spent 23 days working on this post alone, coming in at some 15-20 hours of writing, reading it, editing to rewrite, rewriting some more, then even more editing! Yes, the end result is a crazily long post, yet I feel it essential to have *everything* about TekARK and my current inquiry as properly explained as ultimately proves possible, in order to obtain the very best and most informed of guidance for moving forward with all of this.
You can read the entirety or just the introduction at: TekARk: A Modern Exploration Into The Divine - TekARk
So one can better understand what's going on hereabouts and gain some better insight into whether this is legitimate and not sheer insanity, I've done two things here: I tried to write out some of the core aspects further down in this here post's quite lengthy epilogue, in section 2, so you might glean the basics and not have to spend any time on the site, unless you're so inclined to read further still. And finally, some of my favorite/best pieces (from said site of mine)...?

Well, then, back to my question for the moment... what do you do with it all now? I've already long since had all of my many different writings up on the Web, then I also pursued the path of utilizing free eBooks at most all literary vendor sites (Except for each of the three being $.99 on Amazon, all because they don't allow free eBooks) in the hope ever more folks might come across some of this. So far, it has hardly done what I'd been most desperately hoping for - and I am now three very long, very challenging & bad (I've almost Died twice in the ICU, in only the past two years alone! One Septic Shock, and then one Epidural Hematoma from an epileptic seizure fall) years on already with this effort, to absolutely no results. People are simply not coming across it whatsoever.
Obviously, one of the biggest problems working against me here is the fact that this is indeed presently a religion of one: Me! (although soon, maybe, there'll be three: In addition to Me, I've heard that Myself and I might also be interested in "subscribing" to such wild ideas!) Even with that fact, I still believe this is something that could be so much more in helping certain folks to truly, genuinely find God for themselves, rather than living as hopeless agnostics for all of their lives.
I've even had a few people read parts of it, including a couple total strangers (like on Reddit a couple years ago, I had a few folks saying the aspects they read were quite good/inspired), and have yet to get a reaction of "This is utterly insane. *You* are utterly insane!", which has empowered me to feel as though there might be something more to it than simply another tired case of, "I'm a crazy person with my own crazy religion that I crazily created from scratch! Crazy, ain't I just?"
The only problem is...? Okay, great, I have all of this done! I've basically created my very own little religion, as crazy as that surely sounds. But I have *absolutely* no idea what to do with that - there seems like there just *isn't* anything to be done beyond that. You either fit within existing religious thought, and contribute your knowledge to an existing "audience"/group, or else you are mired in the wacky and undesirable land of nutty crazed isolation, where you yourself are the sole soul who even knows such a thing exists. (Fair warning: Yes, I snipped this preceding paragraph from section 3, because it fits in both places, despite it being repeated verbatim once.)
In other words, there seems to be no place for a "I'm still searching for religious ideas, and want to see what's out there" Agnostic and Searchers crowd where, if what someone has "dreamt up" is sufficiently distinct yet also rational enough, you might offer those assorted theological ideas of yours as food for thought to those whose personal understandings might just so happen to align with your own in that regard.
I mean, I'd have never dreamt the *easy* part to all of this was the coming up with my own distinct and singularly unique set of religious beliefs, and managing to coherently organize them and then further go about the process of writing them all out into a finished form - one I feel most pleased with; it was ultimately so easy and natural because I strongly believe that I was constantly being nudged by our divine Creator in such a direction as to fully pursuing this, and then further nudged to write out quite specific certain topics additionally.
So, then... what's the verdict? Does something like what I'm looking for even exist? Is there some solution to this dilemma of mine that I've so far managed to overlook? Believe me here, at this point, I'm certain!y willing to try near abouts *anything*! Or am I instead only further wasting my limited time on this Earth, all on something that's a sheer absurdity, with my desired resolution being something that's an absolute impossibility at the present time?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read through all of this, and (hopefully) to offer up any potential thoughts, direction or guidance in this matter! Believe me on this, it is (or rather, it shall be) very, *very* much appreciated.
