Having money and coming from an affluent family does not immunize one against delusion. Norway's Princess Martha Louise announced on Tuesday that she is clairvoyant and wants to help people by teaching them how to talk to angels.Funny how all these wonderful things must be TAUGHT to others instead of the supernatural being just tapping them on the shoulder and saying "howdy". And it's also interesting that belief in supernatural beings must be worked at so hard to retain via churches, fervent praying, study of ancient books, listening to pastors say the same things over and over again, week after week- sermon after sermon. Then, it can be so easily threatened or lost by merely associating with "heathens". And then there is the "evangelizing" and the extreme need and desire to get others to believe and share in the delusion. It's like the story of Peter Pan...if you can get more people to believe then it will make it even MORE real in their own minds. "If you believe in fairies, clap your hands!"
Princess Martha claims that she has talked to angels her whole life. King Harald and Queen Sonja and the Royal Palace have declined to comment. They probably hope that interest and attention to their goofy daughter will just fade in time.
