The author of the site, and its solutions, is called here “A”, and who is a female.

A is from two families of Korea that later immigrated to America. Korea, as many do not know, was once a royal nation. The fraught matter of Korea today, on an underlying basis, is a matter of royalty.

Mostly, how to resolve the matter of royalty in the present day, but also beyond. This also applies to nations that are not known as royal, which is most nations. And it applies to nations that were once royal, but experienced great turmoil in the 20th century. American lack of unawareness of those royal turmoils, does not make them, non-existent. The solutions here address those hidden royal matters, and the hidden role they’ve played in preventing world difficulties from being solved.

The solutions here, are thus a new take on “what is royal”. The answer to that question is more basic than we imagined, which is addressed in the section, Why We are Here.

Returning to A and her families.

On A’s mother’s side, is the history of the first airline of Korea, and thus the history of the founding of the aviation industry.

On A’s father’s side, is the ancient history of an ancient clan, going back many centuries. One of the later branches of the ancient clan produced the last Queen of Korea. Along the way too, hundreds of nobles in the Confucian diplomatic corps of the Joseon Dynasty (1392 - 1897). 

A’s family however, is representative of the original clan from which all later branches descended, like the one described above.

The original clan, from the founding member of the clan, is originally from China, and arrived in Korea in the 10th century.

As he did, as the first Confucian Ambassador from China to Korea, from the times of the Song and Koryo Dynasties, respectively.

The Ambassador, descendent of the Chinese clan that served all the royal dynasties of China in the centuries before, beginning with Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE). All descendents thereafter, including A and her family, are descendants of the “2nd favorite disciple” of Confucius, in the 5th century BCE.

By way of the aforementioned 10th century arrival, China and Korea came to be officially connected through Confucianism, in what is known today as a tribute / vassal diplomatic structure. The family at the center of the diplomatic relationship is the family and clan of A. The family and clan that, over centuries, maintained the relationship understood as the Confucian tribute.

That same 10th century time, saw the rise of another dynasty further west.

A dynasty begun in a city called Novgorod and later made its capital in Kiev. The dynasty, through Novgorod and Kiev, were the founders of the nation today called Russia.

The dynasty, called the Rus dynasty, later gave way to the Romanov dynasty.

Romanov, the name, comes out of a prediction made in the late 1400s. The times that were the waning days of Khan-ate rule over Russia, by the once invading tribes of Genghis Khan.

There in Russia, a monk foresaw the return of the Russia - the one that had never truly been lost. However, the old Russia that needed to be understood anew.

The great Orthodox nation that would take its rightful place, not only as a nation, but in Christendom.

Thus did he foresee a Third Rome, and it would be centered in Moscow. The family that would rule Russia, thus named Roman-ov. 

As context, 1st Rome was of course, Rome. The 2nd Rome, Constantinople, as led by Constantine and his mother Helen.

3rd Rome, as predicted, became Moscow, made possible by Ivan the Great.

Ivan the Great who beat back the “Mongol yoke”, restoring Kiev back to Rus history of Russia where it belonged.

Mostly, back to its most important figure, the most famous of the Rus dynasty members, the 10th century figure Vladimir the Great.

Vladimir who not only cemented Russia, but did so as the founder of the Russian Orthodox Church. 

His wife was a Princess from a ruling family in Constantinople, the once 2nd Rome.

The princess, named Anna, was born in the palace built by Constantine himself, in the 4th century.

Within the great palace was the royal birth room. The room, lined in purple stone, gives us the phrase today “born in the purple” indicating those who are royal-born. 

The dispute over Kiev today, as we do not realize, is also the war over the meaning of royal, and Russia. The dispute, inseparable from the one of being “born in the purple”, and thus of her husband, Vladimir the Great and Saint.

The Great, that would have ended right there, if not for his marriage to Anna, a royal.

Anna who was no ordinary royal, but the one with whom, was founded the Russian Orthodox Church. And from it, did Vladimir become a saint.

What exactly made him a saint? Founding a church is not enough, if not accompanied with action.

Vladimir who gave up all his previous wives, to marry Christian-born Anna.

Anna, who also born-in-the-purple Anna, i.e., royal. Thus we see, Christianity and royalty were the same concept at the time.

How this relates to today, is the vast history woven into the solutions of this site. The solutions that cannot ignore the questions of the hegemonic religion of the West, indeed, Christianity.

The answers, as we might be surprised to find, also come by way of the vast continent Eurasia, suggested in the name STOHL. Eurasia also of course, in which Jerusalem exists. The city (and surrounding region), with which we most associate, Christianity.

Eurasia, also the continent wherein sits Russia, the nation over which came a great split, which occurred in 1054 AD.

The Great Schism, when the western church split from the East. More precisely, when the West, particularly England, noticed Vladimir and Anna.

The two who summoned a male-female, unseen since Constantine and Helen.

More so, the male-female pair that answered a question raised by Constantine and Helen. What is the essence of male and female, to each other?

Constantine and Helen who answered, in decree. The essential male and female were son and mother.

Constantine, the first Roman Emperor to declare himself Christian. How, through his mother Helen who birthed him, her son. The male and female that brought forth such a Christianity to the world.

And summoned a table, to make official the Christian model of two — and by it, the Christian Roman Empire. And Christianity in the West, thereafter.

Christianity as told from Rome then Constantinople then Rome again. The one that, to this day, is defined by Jesus and the Virgin Mary.

And indeed, began at a table, the one headed by Constantine and his mother, at Nicaea.

There, Helen the mother who brought forth a Christianity to the world, i.e., herself, akin to the Virgin Mary.

And while Constantine presided, nonetheless still missing at the table was Jesus. Jesus of course, already passed away centuries before.

Nevertheless, his seat remained unfilled — as was the seat of the other Mary. The Mary that was not Jesus’ mother. However was filled in, and replaced, by the seat for the Virgin Mary, by Helen.

Centuries later came another Male and Female, also in positions of rule, and royalty.

Vladimir of Kiev and Anna of Constantinople. The two who presented a different but more sensical Male and Female than presented by Constantine and Helen.

Instead, Vladimir and Anna the pair that were a pair, because they were husband and wife.

Vladimir and Anna, the Christian royals who reminded the world of a time nearly forgotten - the time nonetheless sensed all along:

The time of Jesus and Mary - the Mary that was not his mother.

Mary Magdalene, as rumors had it, was the wife of Jesus.

The rumors that almost did not matter by the time of Vladimir. Vladimir and Anna, the married pair, was the Christianity that simply made sense.

Thus did the West split from Russia, the event called the Great Schism.

The split, in its truest motivation, to try hide Vladimir and Anna from the world. The pair that made the most sense, as a Christian pair, male and female.

Returning to the present day, and the solutions herein.

The solutions that will never make sense, without addressing first the Great Schism.

The world split West and East, nearly a thousand years ago. The seemingly ancient time ago, nevertheless, leading to today.

Today, as we might describe it, a world torn asunder.

The great rift, as we did not realize, comes down to Male and Female. The matter so simple. yet for that same reason, deeply profound.

Thus does a table gather, the one forming by the same.

The table forming, and still incomplete. Two seats at the table that remain unfilled. From the centuries since Vladimir and Anna, and even further back.

When a table formed, for the human story would be told. Later, the table described by hemispheres, and by divisions in oceans, Atlantic and Pacific.

From them were built naval empires, imperial conquests, and by discovery of the New World. Without that fact, would no one be reading this in the United States, or via the language of the nation’s former colonist, England.

By that same fact does A the author describe the same, from the nation where arrived her parents, in immigration.

However throughout — from ancient to imperial times to now — remained a great fact. The greater table wherein Jerusalem sits, which is Eurasia.

And the nation spanning within, Russia. Russia that is the span itself, including as it reaches the Pacific.

Russia that reaches the nation that juts into the Pacific, as a peninsula. Korea, whence came the families of A, the author.

The peninsula that had a line drawn across its middle, at the 38th parallel. The line drawn by Russia when it was the Soviet Union, along with the United States.

Thus was drawn, a great division.

A table that therefore, forms today. To resolve all the rippling matters, then to now.

The table inseparable from the continent. The stage, of schisms and wars and empires. Histories renown, and those forgotten.

And two seats not quite forgotten, but still unfilled.

Unfilled by whom, perhaps can be read between the lines, as told on this site, STOHL.

Along the way, you may also read the solutions, and glean from them how they are inspired by those two seats.

The solutions that are therefore not theoretical, as are not the persons destined for those two seats.

Who are those persons, you ask. The two who are not unimportant, but nevertheless would not exist, without a different question.

Not the who, or even the what or how.

The question upon which everything else rests: Why.

Why we are here.

Why, the question answered here:
