Finalize ch01 + dedication; protect 'Fazer' spelling

Fold in author's ball-of-light distance (#11, ~5 ft turn, 12-15 ft
total) with number style normalized; format dedication signature
("Fazer," Phillip Tarrant) keeping the intentional spelling. Add a
Protected Spellings section to the style guide so 'Fazer' is never
autocorrected. ch01 now fully complete, no open markers.

I remember when I was very young, I asked my mother what religion we were. My mom told me to research other religions and find the one that works best for me. She did tell us that our family was mostly Catholic from my grandmother's side, and while she wasn't really a practicing Catholic, she believed most of the doctrines. I took this as the fact that we should probably look into our own. The internet being new, I decided to use that because it had a wealth of knowledge available. I looked into many different religions. I looked into Taoism and the Yin and the Yang, Eastern religions because I had a lot of martial arts background, and I looked into the idea of Ki and spirit power as well during this time. I did eventually start playing around with witchcraft, and there actually is power there. However, I found out really quickly that I invited things into my life that I did not want to deal with. After our first demonic experiences, which are later chronicled in this book, I eventually realized that Jesus Christ is probably the best route here, and over time started to believe in God, Jesus, and the things that are chronicled in this book. I had a lot of loose, goose-type of knowledge. Some of it didn't seem to sit right with me. There are a lot of contradictions in the Bible, and a lot of it doesn't make sense. I've read several versions of the Bible. I've looked at the Old Testament and the New Testament and took a lot of that info as good knowledge to have. It wasn't until I was around 43 that I started really deep-diving into trying to find out what religion works for us and how the church has been corrupted over time. A lot of the stories and things in the Bible are interesting ideas, but I found that they really aren't the best. I started deep-diving into any type of evidence that we could gain, which is really hard considering all of these events happened so far ago. Two thousand years ago, we did not keep good records, and no one really could do anything except try to look at the Bible books. I learned that the Bible was actually put together from a series of other testaments and gospels, and that originally every little area in that world had their own set of stories or guiding principles that eventually got whittled down into what we know as the Bible. The Bible has been translated and changed over time. Very little, but I don't trust people, and so you have to treat it as though it is a book that is possibly contaminated. I started looking for the religions that were close to their founding time, around the time that Jesus was around. I found three or four major religions and religious movements that were around during that time before the birth of what we know as Christianity. This was Gnosticism, especially the Sethians, and even the Sumerians.
Over time, this religion has taken shape, and I've realized the truth of the thing. I'm doing my best to make sure that this is all documented in a way that is easy for future people to understand.

Whenever possible, I've tried to tie these teachings into evidence-based practices. Remember, as a cybersecurity professional, we trust logs or other evidence over what people claim. We rely on evidence or historical records. I aimed to make the logical jumps here as tight as possible, grounded in concrete logic and thought
