STOHL

From as early as humans could grasp a world outside of themselves, did they wonder … why?

Why are we here. Along the way came many answers. To dominate, to conquer, to win over the enemy. To name the enemy in the first place.

Many a religion were born along such quests, including those that began their book with Genesis. The book named after the word that means beginning, and origins.

Pictured above is Messier I, the supernova seen in the sky in 1054 AD. In that same year a great split occurred, yet few recall it today. The great schism of Christianity into churches of west and east.

The schism informs matters to this very day. The subtext to wars and conflicts indeed about religion.

Including a war we did not realize was about religion, the Korean War.

The war of a peninsula divided at the 38th parallel. The war we thought was about one nation versus the other, split along a divide.

Instead was it the struggle to try claim a larger crown, unknown until now.

A crown that stayed in hiding, the entire 20th century. A crown that could not emerge until it could to tell the whole story.

The story incomplete, unfulfilled, because it went beyond Korea itself. Beyond the split of north and south — to the one of west and east.

The directions many associate with the U.S. versus China. If it were as simple as this, the problem would have been solved by now.

The answers go further back in time. To 1054 AD, when the great schism itself pointed to a greater event that occurred before. The founding of the very church that caused the west to try consolidate itself as the “west.”

Religious schism became a line of geography. A longitudinal corridor running through the city Kiev, and the Russian capitals.

Americans have not been taught about the line, automatically aligning as we have on “prime meridian.” The line running through England, the royal nation that came to epitomize “west.” As it was able to do, as the nation of largest control over the western narrative of the 1054 split.

Including to make barely known, the existence of an eastern church — and how it was royal.

Yet an unknown crown did not forget. The crown at the center of the north-south divide of Korea. The center, for coming from a long ago time, before Korea was split.

From a time of thrones, and royal times forgotten since.

Yet from east to west, remembered — that is, how the east-west span is in fact, the one from crown to crown.

To a time when Korea was royal, and Russia too.

The royal span, from 38th parallel to the great schism. The span from latitude to longitude, and the great tableaux between: the continent connecting the two locations. The continent in fact a royal stage, rising again.

The royal story incomplete however, without resolving the split of 1054.

These are the solutions laid out here — and how they are the solutions for the whole of the world.
