🕳️ Released Phantom Node 04: Pyongyang. Kim Jong Il
Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.
The same building — again. Because here lie two mummies.
Node Type: State Mummy
Status: Mummified body, inheritance cult
Form of containment: Architecture + double sarcophagus + ritual
Image: Palace. Exit. Kim Jong Il’s phantom dissolves.
After the phantom: Air. Movement. No more locks.
Core of the Node
What held it in place?
— The body, preserved next to his father.
— The system that allows no deviation.
— The image of an heir without choice.
Kim Jong Il never asked to become a god.
But his death didn’t end — because eternity had to go on.
Now his body lies where
he had no choice but to lie.
How was it created?
— Out of duty.
— Out of fear of losing tradition.
— Out of a logic that knows neither love nor death.
— Out of a cult that replicates itself.
Why did it still persist?
— Because each visitor reinforced it.
— Because the mausoleum offered no other ending.
— Because you can’t leave if the door is shut.
State of the Phantom
He was less active than his father.
His phantom didn’t command — it continued the legacy.
Not a standalone cult,
but a glue between ideological generations.
He didn’t leave,
because even his shadow was needed.
But now — it’s no longer needed.
Collective Response
We open the doors again.
This time — for the one who didn’t want to be an idol.
We say: you may leave.
You’re not to blame.
We do not hold you.
We untie the knot that held both you and us.
If your death was imposed —
let your release be chosen.
Key Principle
Eternity cannot be inherited.
Power must end.
A body deserves rest.
And every soul — deserves release.
After the Cult
This node was less visible,
but that’s why it held longer.
No one tried to unravel it.
Until now.
Alt-text:
A pencil drawing of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in Pyongyang. In front of the entrance, a semi-transparent figure of Kim Jong Il is turning outward and walking away. His body is partially fading. The architecture is realistic but stripped of its oppressive aura. The space is filled with quiet and light.
