This is the story of Ecumenical Romanity (ʽΡωμαιοσύνη/Rûmîyâne) – a story that has remained hidden from the eyes of the world, physical and metaphysical, for too long. Romanity concerns Supraness, God’s own mode of Being, which is His by nature and belongs to His cohabitants by His uncreated divine Energy, Glory or Operations. Roman Ecumenicity, or else, the ‘Byzantine’-Ottoman Continuum, was born of the historically enacted theophilosophical commensurability between Roman Christianity (Orthodoxy, intimately related to the Reality of ἡ τῶν πάντων ἑνότης (the unity of all being/existents)) and the central Ottoman religiosity of Islamic vahdet-i vücud tasavvuf (‘the unity-of-Being’ Sufism) (Sunni and Alevi) — including their organic connections to Judaism (canonical and evolved, such as Sabataism). This historical trajectory, which has been adversely affected by the Frankish Augustinian/(neo)Gnostic ouroborian West after 800 AD, is approached here from the point of view of the Real, religion and secularisation/secularisation theory from ancient times until 1938 AD.
