In his book Slovenia Miraculous Marko Pogačnik writes about 12 dimensions of Earth’s space, which he incorporates into his research of places and landscapes, and includes a comprehensive approach to the Earth. He says: “Slovenia is a part of geomantic system that allows the connection between the belly of the Balkans and the heart area of Central Europe … Like the groin, the Alps divide the composition of the Balkans from the ‘chest’ of Central Europe, where the vertical nature of the continent intersects with its horizontality. The spine of Europe intersects with the diaphragm of the Alps.
It depends on the geomantic system of the wider Slovenian area whether the belly and heart of Europe cooperate with each other or not, whether there is a conversation between them, or whether communication is broken. The question of the relationship or non-relationship between the two duplicates in the body of Europe becomes fatal if we are aware that the Balkans embody the sources of life itself, and Central Europe is the source of the meaning of existence. The Slovenian area, connected to the Pannonian Plain, Plitvice, the Adriatic Sea, Venice, and Grossglockner, holds the key to communication between the abdomen and the heart …“

In the book Our Love Is Our Power it’s author Sharon McErlane writes this about Slovenia:
“Slovenia lies in the middle of an area surrounded by many cultures – Germanic, Italian, Croatian, Serbian, Muslim and others. It is situated in the middle of the mountains, close to the sea, and its location resembles a button on a coat. Slovenia connects and holds things together.
Awareness in Slovenia is inherently spiritually elevated by nature, although it is currently somewhat blurred and closed. During this time a certain spiritual awakening is taking place, but consciousness has been dormant there for a long time, so the process will take some time.
To illustrate the deafness that hangs over this land the grandmothers showed me the picture of an ostrich with its head in the sand and the picture of a person who is constantly turning its head away. The Slovenians have experienced so much negativity, bloodshed, and wars that many of them have fallen asleep.
Women and men here have begun to awaken from the Sleeping Beauty sleep that has kept their country in power for so many years. They want to awaken even more and are interested in serving the world …
This country will establish itself as a spiritual center, as a ‘button’ that actually holds everything together … The handshake will be particularly important in the Balkans, where war, mistrust, and separation have prevailed for so long …”

In the documentary Where to invade next, director Michael Moore calls Slovenia Sleeping Beauty and the magical Fairy Kingdom. It caught his eye because of all the natural beauty and because we are one of only 12 countries in the world where you can study for free.
The film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was also filmed in Slovenia, as well as Death Train and Winnetou in the past, and, in recent years, Hollywood films such as The Union ….
So … Let me share some things about my beloved country …

Slovenia covers less than 0,004 % of the Earth’s surface but 1 % of the total biodiversity of Earth.
Bled
Bled with its lake, island, castle, cream cake and pletna is the most attractive tourist destination in Slovenia.
In the book Veronica Decides to Die the author Paulo Coelho set his story in the capital city of Slovenia – Ljubljana.
Ljubljana is a holder of the title 2016 European Green Capital and has been recognized as a Tree City of the World; Ljubljana is often translated as ‘the loved one’.
Coelho (trough Veronica) says the following about this former Yugoslav republic:
A strange country for which no one knows where it is except those who live here. Nobody knows where Slovenia is. Yet, it exist and it is out there, among the mountains that surround it, and here, in the square before her eyes. Slovenia is her country …
“If they don’t know where Slovenia is, Ljubljana must be the ninth wonder for them,” she thought. Like Atlantis or Lemuria or those Lost Continents that stir the human imagination.
Slovenia has more than 10,000 caves, the largest is Postojna cave, the largest show cave in Europe, which is home to the olm – a rare animal species referred to as the ‘baby dragon or human fish’.
In the chapter where Coelho describes the reasons for writing his book, he compares Slovenia with his Brazilian homeland – just as some people think that Slovenia is a city in Germany, many foreigners think that the Argentine city of Buenos Aires is the capital of Brazil.
Slovenia is home to white horses called Lipizzan – and Lipica is the oldest European stud farm continuously breeding one of the oldest cultural horse breeds. Horses are usually born black, then change slowly over 6 to 10 years to their trademark white color.
The linden tree is a symbol for the Slovenian people; it can survive centuries and it represents love, friendship, and loyalty – the oldest is 700 years old and has a circumference of 10 meters (Najvnik Linden tree in Koroška region).
Soča riverWaterfall Kozjak near Kobarid – settlement is known for the 1917 Battle of Caporetto, where the Italian retreat was documented by Ernest Hemingway in his novel A Farewell to Arms.
The legend says, that in the past also crusaders on their way to the holy land, stopped on one of the beautiful hills in Slovenia to rest and then decided never to leave this place. About this true story wrote Amos Oz in his novel Judas:
“… Until one summer evening, at sunset, they arrived in a small valley surrounded by high mountains, in the middle of the country we now know as Slovenia. In their eyes, this valley was a divine oasis, full of springs and meadows and green pastures, adorned with small forests and vineyards and flowering orchards, and there was also a small village built around a well, a stone paved square and granaries and barns with sloping roofs.
Sheep grazed on the slopes, and here and there were peaceful cows in the meadows, and geese walked around. The villagers were calm and relaxed, and the dark-haired girls were happy … So the Crusaders conferred and decided to call this blessed land Jerusalem and end their arduous journey …
They built twenty or thirty modest huts, assigned a field to each man, paved the roads, and built a small church with a beautiful bell tower. Finally, they married girls from a nearby village, had children who grew up in their Jerusalem and splashed happily in their Jordan, walked barefoot through the forest of Betlehem …
And so they live to this day … a pure life, a free life in a holy city in the Promised Land … and all this without bloodshed and endless battles with hostile unbelievers. In their Jerusalem they live peacefully and happily, each under his own vine and fig tree. Until the end of their days …”
