Rise and Fall of the Banate of...

Editors Charles River

Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
	That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities.  
Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
	Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise that Bosnia did not have its fully-established borders until the 19th century, and even in modern times, in many respects the people distinguished and defined Bosnia as a polity more than its shifting borders, and regardless of whether Bosnia operated as an independent state or kingdom. It was during the Middle Ages that Bosnia’s culture and ethnic makeup truly began to coalesce, despite the politically rocky nature of the era in the Balkans.

Frequencies - Treatise

Alexandr Korol

Over 10 years ago ... I made an incredible discovery for myself ... and I wrote it all down in my diary. 
...I have even shared my draft before....  
Frequencies are parallel worlds ... they are social strata of society ... and we all live on different frequencies ....  
If I surround myself with people and things and food and music ... of frequency number 5 ... then I will connect to frequency 5 ... and if there is laziness on that frequency ... and if on that frequency ... people often break bones ... then I will become lazy and break my leg or my arm by accident ... when I leave the house ... in winter time ... when it's slippery ....  
But at frequency 10 ...  everything is different ... if you surround yourself with elements of frequency 10 ... then you get into another world ... where you will be always in a positive mood ... and have money ... and health ... and even your thoughts will be different .... 
And I wrote about it ... when I was 20 years old ... in 2011 ... in the summer I first noticed it ... that there are different worlds ... and in different worlds ... there is a different me ....  
Now I decided not to twist all my old materials about frequencies ... but to start from scratch ... once again ... to explain in detail ... what are frequencies ... and more precisely what is it... where you live in...

Women of Ancient India - Sages...

Layla Gupta

Women in Ancient Indian mythology hold significant and multifaceted roles, often embodying both nurturing and destructive forces within the cosmic and earthly realms. These divine figures are central to the very fabric of the ancient Indian worldview, illustrating the depth and complexity of feminine energy. In these mythologies, women are not just passive characters but active, powerful beings who shape the universe, challenge societal norms, and assert their authority in the divine order.
One of the most notable representations of female power in Indian mythology is through goddesses. The concept of Shakti, or divine feminine energy, permeates many Hindu myths and is embodied by goddesses such as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Durga, for instance, is a warrior goddess who symbolizes the victory of good over evil. She is often depicted riding a lion or tiger, wielding weapons in multiple hands, signifying her multifarious power and strength. Durga's myth tells of her battle with the demon Mahishasura, where she not only defeats him but also restores cosmic balance. This story symbolizes the resilience and power of feminine energy, which is integral to the maintenance of order in the universe.
Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and beauty, represents another facet of feminine influence. While her power is associated with material and spiritual wealth, her role is not passive. Lakshmi’s mythology highlights her active involvement in ensuring prosperity and well-being, both on a personal and societal level. She is often depicted as a source of light, standing on a lotus, symbolizing purity and the abundance that follows divine favor.
