Rosehouse has inspiration is not only the rose itself, but the garden.
Garden as metaphor, for how to see the world.
This in turn is a question about the world itself, and the human race that lives upon it. The metaphor continues when we recall Adam and Eve, expelled from Eden. The two who have been searching for their way back, since.
Not coincidentally, the story of Adam and Eve, and Eden, occurs in the Book of Genesis.
Genesis, that begins with the beginning. Before Eden, before the earth, and before the universe. The epic timeline, but also the clue and hint — how to make their way back.
Back to where? To Eden?
Yes, but along the way, to ponder the earth in which it sits, and in turn the universe, in turn …
To the beginning.
These questions shall be answered here: stohl.org/two-seats
In the meantime, why this website?
First of all, as a place to share important solutions for the world.
The most important solution is the one answering the question of Male and Female. And how they will make their way back.
To the beginning, and the reason we are here in the first place.
Male, Female, the two without whom, there is no moving forward.
Along the way, have we been distracted. Nonetheless is this not a website to criticize or condemn.
Nonetheless, some fundamentals are in need of reminder.
But how, with the world in such a state of war, divide and disarray?
Again, most of these questions will be answered at stohl.org/two-seats
Here however, I specify that there are two important persons, without whom, there is no moving forward.
Why, because the world that barrels to the edge. Thus do we turn to the beginning, to ask how we arrived to this point. After all, does any of it really matter, if we the human race no longer exist?
Indeed, billions of years that have passed from the beginning to now.
Yet now, the moment, when could it all come to an end. The human race that has developed the technology that could end it all.
You wonder then, who are the two? The two, without whom, there is no moving forward.
Thus of course, one is a Male, one is a Female.
Thus of course, they are global persons, from the two most consequential nations of earth.
Right there, the statement that raises the hackles of many. The statement that most interpret to mean, that some persons / cultures / races, are more important than others.
However do I really just talk about nations — the ones that, by confluence of history and events including from the beginning — turned out to the be the two largest nuclear powers of earth.
Why nuclear powers (and not say, economic powers, most populous, etc), is because of the beginning.
The beginning that we can barely define, and even the Book of Genesis speaks in general terms.
However has science given it somewhat of a vocabulary, equation, measure, definition etc. The beginnings that are inscrutably minute. We only vaguely can understand it as energy, or even, pre-energy.
Thus from billions of years to now, do we appear to return to the beginning. To understand the inscrutable from where we began .. so we can figure out how to move forward.
The endeavor, impossible without considering the weapons of mass destruction developed out of the same inquiry. The science and technology that split the atom to create atomic and nuclear weapons.
Have we truly fathomed the implications of what we have done in the mere past 70 years? Billions of years .. to a mere 7 decades.
Thus does time compress in the comparatively infinitismly small span of time, compared to how long ago it all began. Thus must we expand our sense of time, by the same - from the infinitismly minute to the impossibly vast.
The impossibility, as we find, not so impossible nor vast, when we realize that we the human race, are comprised of individuals.
As it should terrify us to realize, the power to end the world, in the hands of a very small number of individuals.
The compression of such vast power into the hands of a small few, should terrify us.
In that same terrifying truth, however, remains the truth of the power of the individual.
We the human race, of course, not comprised of members of an anonymous nameless herd. The human race, distinct from all other life forms in that respect.
We the human race, comprised of individuals, who think, discern, believe, disbelieve, hope, falter, dream, imagine, endure, forgive, endure.
Most of all, we do as no other creature does — we believe we should move on. And we do so, beyond mere animal instinct.
To understand this point, we think of other sentient creatures.
No other sentient creature understands that in order for their species to move forward, so must the earth. Thus while creatures have a survival instinct, it exists in oblivion to whether they are in the desert, the tropics, the woods or ocean, that is, as just one kind of environment amongst many. The world that does not exist beyond their immediate environs.
Most of all, the earth as a whole, never presents itself to animals, as existentially threatened. While animals experience fear — they experience it for themselves, their progeny, their herd. But not for the earth around.
Only the human race knows we cannot exist, without our earth.
However is this website, not of the purpose / plea to save the earth. Many organizations already exist that push for the preservation of earth, and their efforts are valiant.
However do they all eventually reach a wall. The same wall, preventing all from making strides forward.
The turning-point difference, is a subtle but profound one.
The human race that knows we must not allow our earth to be destroyed.
However does that knowledge only go so far — that is, until we realize that we ourselves must move on. And beyond mere animal instinct.
How is that statement anything but a generalist cliche? Of course we know we must continue.
But as we somewhat forgot along the way, about the two still trying to find their way back. To Eden, which they must do, together.
Eden that doesn’t matter without them both.
Why Eden? So they can meet.
Why must they meet?
And now the subtle but critical difference: the two must meet, but not for the sake of Eden, per se.
The two must meet, for the sake of, meeting in Eden.
Eden, without which we are not the human race, with Male and Female.
In other words, they cannot meet anywhere else — e.g., Mars, some other planetary system, or for that matter, some other galaxy.
Instead, specifically on this earth. And not in the ocean, the river or floating in space (say, in a rocket).
It is on the land, the terra firm, of earth. It is quite specific.
Eden, terra firma, where they are Male and Female.
And as Male and Female of the human race — the two, coming together out of choice. The two, unlike from any other kind of creature, who meet out of choice.
Eden, therefore, that is a choice. A choice — and not merely a place they themselves plonked upon, in the manner of a lion in the grassland, a fish in the ocean, a bird in a tree.
Choice, is a fundamentall and distinctly human act and trait.
The most fundamental choice, is for Male and Female to come together.
While at first we think this is survival instinct,
The two of the most famous garden been Vladimir the Great and Anna Porphyrogenita, the founders of the nation we know as Russia.
Anna Porphyrogenita was born in today’s Istanbul, back then, Constantinople.
Kiev however, where the Constantine legacy is tested the most. The non-sensical pair of Constantine and his mother Helen, that found resolution in King Vladimir the Great and Queen Anna Porphyrogenita of Kiev. The male-female pair from which came the Great Schism, the break of the Western church from the East.
From this, was inspired William the Conqueror, that is, to try exceed Vladimir the Great. From William’s descendants came the matter called the blood libel, the malign and slander of the Jews, usually in sex slander.
The slander leading to their expulsion from England with King Edward I, the figure made famous in the movie Braveheart. The movie that nonetheless failed to mention the expulsion.
The religious matter, along the way, led to the formation of the Knights Templar, the organization that also asked, what is the essence of the relationship between male and female? The Templars were monks who became warriors, but indeed, remained celibate monks. Thus like Constantine, failed to answer the question in a sensical way.
Enter now Korea, that is, through one family. Korea, in parallel to the Crusades, was being invaded by the Mongols, the tribal peoples that took over Chinese history for about 200 years.
Their founding leader, Genghis Khan. No one asks, how is Khan a Chinese last name? It is not. The original Chinese peoples are the Han Chinese. The Mongols came from further north.
The north tribal peoples led by Genghis Khan, for which was built by the Han Chinese, the Great Wall, to try keep them out.
The Mongols, who found their way over, nonetheless. In their conquests, intermingled with the tribal peoples of the steppes and plains of Central Asia.
Those peoples in turn the descendants of travelers and warriors along the Silk Road that also made its way through the Middle East.
The Mongols who invaded Korea beginning around 1218 AD. What they were after however, was not Korea itself per se.
Instead, the same the Chinese “were after” in the centuries leading to that moment: the sovereign imprimatur. In Korea, the family of the Confucian tribute, to China. I.e., the family of minerals. This is Angela’s family, and ancestors.
One of those ancestors, found his way off the peninsula. How, is understood through the same place where Angela’s family makes their family home address: at the Han River Delta. I.e., the 38th parallel DMZ.
The location, an unusual geographic formation, thus settled there purposefully by her previous ancestor, who had settled there from China in 997 AD.
The location with access to the Han River leading to the Yellow Sea / West Korea Sea. Simultaneously, with a moat-like border on 3 sides, indeed int he manner of a peninsula.
However, with one of those “moat” distances, being not very far from the mainland (where sits today’s Seoul).
The Mongols, horsemen by nature, unable to cross as a result. Thus in that protected place, did Angela’s ancestor gathered forces and resourcs. Moreso, gathered together a plan that would send him on a journey across Asia, indeed, to the place where the Crusades were fought: the Holy Land.
Along the way however, the most important stop to make: Kiev. The city of the Rus peoples founded by Vladimir the Great, the figure that William the Conqueror sought to exceed.
Thus too did the descendants of Genghis Khan.
In the 1200s, the Mongols invaded Kiev, for that exact purpose and reason. Thus did Angela’s ancestor go to where the Mongols did too. To exceed the Mongols, that is, by conquering their reasons.
From Kiev, he made his way to the Holy Land.
The Holy Land, while representing important symbols of religion, nonetheless failed to answer a most fundamental question: what is the essence of the relationship, male and female?
The Holy Land, at the time, besotted with the answers / models presented by the Knights Templar. That is, except for their adversaries, who were Muslim. The Mongols attempted to be a little of both sides.
Angela’s ancestor exploited the Mongols desire to play the middle. The delicate maneuvering that involved orchestration with France. Mostly however, the warriors and travelers on the long road between Korea and the Holy Land.
The Silk Road, but also northwards to Kiev. Through the place today called Iran, and to the places of the Caucausus, the Black Sea, and through the Mediterranean to the coast of today’s Israel.
The journey surprising for American to hear, was made by a Korean. Yet the Mongols made nearly the same journey, including to a place of Israel today called Ma’ayan Harod.
Back then it was called Ain Jalud. There where the Mongols, famously lost. Despite conquering every spot in between, from Korea through China to Kiev, Hungary, Iran, and more. Yet lost at Ain Jalud.
To this day, no one knows the answer how. Yet today, a very important baton is passed down, and as you can guess, comes by way of an important victory in the Holy Land.
More so, because of why the Mongols lost, which was not because of anything in the the Holy Land, but Kiev.
The Mongols, like William the Conqueror, sought a holy grail prize, the one to fill the shoes of Vladimir the Great of Kiev. By exploiting the reasons the Mongols fought - the reasons rather than the means and methods — were the Mongols defeated. That is, in a way that means and methods had not, by every other adversary to them.
The Mongols sought to fill the shoes Constantine himself could not fill. One of the Mongol kings, named Hulagu, even fashioned himself as the next Constantine.
Angela’s ancestor, knowing the motivations of the Mongols, was able to make allies from across the board. By secret orchestrations, set the stage for the Mongols to lose at Ain Jalud.
I have posted on this private-portion of the site, photos of many world leaders wearing the colors magenta and lavender. The colors representing their their agreement with the discoveries and revelations brought forth by Angela, including why the Mongols lost at Ain Jalud.
The key revelation is the one that addresses, what is the nature of male and female.
It is answered through the matter of matter itself.
We know the story of Eve, formed out of the rib of Adam. The rib, considered hard matter, and male.
The female considered soft matter. The sexes, that came down to this: hard vs soft. More so, solid vs liquid matter, and the many states of water in between.
The comparison made across history: solid to mean concrete, dependable, non-fickle, immutable. I.e., the symbols that came to be associated with male.
Liquid that came to mean, fickle, ever-changing, unreliable, mutable, soft and weak, etc. I.e., the symbols that came to be associated with female.
The answer, as it turns out, first hinted at by way of the matter neither liquid nor solid but a bit of both: ice.
Angela’s family of the Confucian tribute, and with that, a generations-handed-down knowledge of the matter of the field called today geology. In essence, an understanding of the earth itself.
As few know, Asians invented many of the tools today of navigation, including across land. This comes from intuiting the matter of geology.
Geology not the word used, because it was not about vocabulary to begin with. Instead, an understanding, including from below and above, from beginnings and endings, and the processes and states in between.
The observations by both earth and sky, i.e., the planets, stars. The earth, not dissimilar from the objects of the sky, but of course, separate from them. In other words, the earth as part of a larger formation, what we call today the Universe. Yet, separate at the same time, and more so, different.
The understanding of geology, and sky, observed in movement and through months, seasons, years.
And epochs. Angela’s ancestor, upon traveling through Kiev, confirmed an “earthly rumor” spoken amongst warriors and travelers — the person that had found themselves on journeys, north.
And from them, the rumor, that the nature of the earth had changed over time. At one point, was far colder, and the land blanketed in ice. The peoples of Kiev understood this through the seasonal event today called Rasputitsa:
The remnant event of a long-ago age. The once-ice sheets that constitute now, the annual melting event that turns solid ice into spring deluge and mud.
Thus upon arriving in the Holy Land, Angela’s ancestor understood something, but in the Holy Land was considered a mystery. The miracle performed by the figure named Jesus Christ: walking on water.
As Angela’s ancestor knew, the walking upon ice. Indeed, the land of Palestine/Israel, that is not the pure desert we think. Sometimes, if extremely rarely, has ice.
But how do we not know this? The same reason we do not know who is Vladimir the Great from the place of frequent ice.
In the time of Jesus Christ, a place only known in rumors.
Thus the walking upon ice, indeed a miracle — to venture as no ordinary man would. The virtually unheard of occurrence, of the waters turning solid. What would have been regarded as a most unholy event.
For Jesus however, a recognition of a most holy opportunity. To seize the moment, and as we might say today, the stage. When solid and liquid became both different and alike, at once.
Most of all, the miracle of a greater recognition: the stage, the one that brought forth the human race. The stage, and metaphor, of male and female: different and alike at once. Two different sexes, yet alike in being equal to the other.
The miraculous sea, the icy one at that moment, not-coincidentally, the sea where was born the female figure named Mary, in the city of Migdal. Mary Magdalene.
Coming soon.
