[Germany / Christina Block] - The Possessive Self Abducts Its Own Flesh to Feed a Phantom of Ownership

Event Baseline: A German heiress, Christina Block, is on trial in Hamburg accused of ordering the abduction of her own children in a case that sparked a large espionage scandal. The trial has lasted 15 months.

The parental self believes it owns the child. That belief is a phantom. It drives the self to violate borders, use covert agents, and destroy the child's reality. The child becomes an object, not a being. The self's need for control overrides any perception of the child's autonomy. This is the illusion of the self as owner. It leads to kidnapping and legal war. The fracture is absolute. The self cannot see the child as separate; it sees only an extension of its own identity. When that extension is threatened, the self resorts to violence and secrecy. This is the same mechanism that fuels wars over land and resources: the phantom of possession. The child is the land, the land is the child. Neither can be owned, but the self will kill to maintain the illusion. The trial is a public display of this mental illness. No verdict will heal the wound because the wound is the self itself.
