Exploring The Shift
The shift is not a thing. It is the action of discovering Self.

There's a beautiful story about a Chinese woman who had her bag stolen and who was getting it back with all items. After all, there's some goodness in everybody, even thiefs.

China phone thief repents after 21 text messages

Ms Kampusch had been shielded from the public since her escape from being held capture for eight years (after having been kidnapped at the age of eleven). After bolting to freedom she was taken secret place to shield her from the intense media interest, so there were no pictures and only small bits of news and a lot of speculation.

I felt drawn to the case since the first day and followed most of the coverage on national and international agencies through Google News. There were many interviews with psychologists and experts and they all seemed to stress her weakness which struck me as odd because my own impression (call it a gut feeling) was, that despite the horrors which she must have lived through, she was in an okay state.

Here is a collection of text and video snippets from the interview which Natascha Kampusch gave on Wednesday for the Austrian press and TV. Most of the links are in German, but I have translated a few excerpts and the video may be well worth watching even if you do not understand the language

Last week a news item which went around the world caught my eye. A girl who had been abducted at the age of 11 and who had been assumed dead had reappeard after having been held capture for eight years. If you have missed the story, here is an article from the 24th from SpiegelOnline and one from the International Herald Tribune of the same day (one day after her escape).

I don't want to go into details about what appeared when and where in the media, except this: After she escaped, the police describe here in reasonably good physical shape and as reponsive and intelligent. Later it was reported that she did and does not want to have contact with her parents (she is currently in a secret place and does not appear in public as of her own choice) but did meet with teenagers of her own age. Police reported that said that she had sexual contact with her kidnapper (Mr. Priklopil) but said she was not forced and that it had been her free will. Then there was an item about the fact that she had shown signs of sadness when she was told that Mr. Priklopil had died (he had committed suicide on the day after she escaped). Some time later a neighbor was found who said that he had visited the house once to borrow a tool while she was there, not knowing who she was he thought that she might be a friend or relative. He said that "she seemed friendly and happy". Also, she has written an open letter, which was published two days ago and which I will link to further down in this text.

There are tons of Zidane videos out there on YouTube now, but this one is pretty cool (I found this link on SDX blog): Zidane Double Agent

Quite synchy where I found the link. I'm sometimes using SDX as a short version of a user name which I use in many forums, but stumbled over the blog on technorati without making that connection.

This blog entry is about Zinedine Zidanes headbutt in the soccer worldcup final and why I think that this event is much in line with the current truth wave of the shift in consciousness and why I also think (contrary to most bloggers) that Zidane has done himself a great service with this act.
