(回答先: ノルウェー王女、天使と話す特殊能力あると公表 [ロイター] 投稿者 white 日時 2007 年 7 月 26 日 16:36:09)
このロイターの記事は少しセンセイショナルな書き方をしているが、ノルウェーの「Aftenposten」の記事によると、以下のようになる。
ノルウェーの王女、Märtha Louise(マーサ ルイース）は、この度、ビジネスパートナーであるElisabeth SamnøyとともにAstarte Educationという超能力開発を専門とするニューエイジ系の学校を開校したが、そのためのパブリシティーとしてこのような話をウェブ・サイトに載せたということだ。
彼女が「自分には超能力がある」と書いた話が世界中を駆け巡り、一夜明けた25日付けの同紙によれば、科学者、宗教関係者、政治家などから、「いくらビジネスのためとはいえ、何と軽薄な」「彼女にはそういった分野での正式な訓練歴はない」「王室もこれで頭を痛めている」「天使と交信するといった考え方は、キリスト教移植以前の前近代的な民族宗教の考え方。彼女はクリスチャンと言っているが、それはクリスチャンの考え方ではない」といった非難ごうごうの嵐が巻き起こっているそうだ。
彼女はいつも超能力関係の事柄に対して興味を持ってきたし、また動物と会話ができたりもするといっているらしい。
なお調査によれば、10人のうち４人のノルウェー人が超能力を信じるとの結果がでているので、王女が天使と通信できると言う話も肯定的にとらえる人々が多いのではないかとのこと。

ノルウェーの王室の人たちは、一般人に混じって、町をぶらぶらと歩いたり、自転車で買い物をしたりするので、こういうビジネスを始めたりもするのだろう。

Princess claims clairvoyant powers, aims to share them
Norway's Princess Märtha Louise, daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja, has emerged as a clairvoyant, and is launching an alternative school aimed at training students to contact angels. Officials at the Royal Palace won’t comment on the princess' latest business venture.
The princess' business partner has publicly confirmed the training program, which is billed as a means of "getting in touch with your own truths" through "readings, healing, crystals and hands-on treatment."
The princess, who still officially represents the Royal Family at various events, has named her new venture after "one of the oldest goddesses in the Middle East," Astarte, and its website is registered at her home address in Lommedalen, just west of Oslo. The telephone number listed is that for the Royal Palace in Oslo.
Even though use of the palace's phone number implies the business is indirectly supported by the Royal Palace, palace officials won't comment on it.
"The palace never expresses itself on the princess' private business ventures," said a tight-lipped Sven Gjeruldsen, information adviser on the palace staff. He referred further questions to the contact information on Astarte’s web site.
The princess wrote on her school's new website, Astarte Education, that she's "always been interested in alternative treatment programs," suggesting she's had psychic abilities since she was a little girl.
"I especially remember one time I met a woman when I was small," Princess Märtha Louise wrote. "I went up to her and said she didn't need to be sad about her husband, that things would go well between them."
The woman was astonished, according to the princess, and "wondered who had told me this. There was a big commotion, and many fearful adults, because none of them wanted her to think one of them had gossiped," Märtha Louise wrote.
Communicating with animals
The 35-year-old princess was educated as a physiotherapist, trained as a Rosen therapist and also has studied at an academy for holistic medicine "where I learned to systematize sensual impressions to read others, and through horses I learned to communicate with animals on a deeper level."
Märtha Louise, who competed in equestrian events for several years, said that she started "taking contact with angels" when she worked with horses. "I have later learned the value of this enormous gift, and want to share it with others," she said.
The princess has launched Astarte Education with a friend, Elisabeth Samnøy, who describes herself on the website as a former ship mechanic who also attended a holistic academy.
"After that I have been in a process where angels and their frequency opened contact with the divine in my heart," Samnøy wrote.
The pair concedes that their training program isn't sanctioned by Norwegian education authorities. Courses will be offered twice a week over three years, at a cost of NOK 12,000 per half-year.Students are obligated to sign up for at least one year at a time.

Princess draws more flak
Princess Märtha Louise's latest business venture, which she says can teach people how to communicate with angels, has sparked anything but purely angelic reaction.
Princess Märtha Louise, who claims she's clairvoyant, has incurred the wrath of many with her plans to launch courses in alternative therapy. Others think she's brave to follow her beliefs.
Officials ranging from the state director of health, to a top politician to religious figures are blasting the princess for alleged offenses ranging from exploiting her position to misusing her physiotherapy training.
Health Director Lars E Hanssen told newspaper Aftenposten Wednesday that the princess needs to be "very careful" about how she uses her physiotherapy authorization in marketing her courses in healing, reading and alternative therapy.
"When you're an authorized health professional, like Märtha Louise is, there are certain demands," Hanssen said. "The more she advertises that she's a physiotherapist, the more careful she needs to be.
"If these angels will only help course participants, that's not treatment and there's no problem," he added. "But if the angels and the course are part of the treatment, that's a problem."
Dr Bernt Rognlien, one of Norway's leading figures within alternative medicine, thinks the princess' course is more religious in nature than health-related.
"The way I read her web site, this is a spiritual and religious offer, not something that can heal the sick," he said, adding that he's not sure the princess realizes that she can appear to be proselytizing when she uses religious terminology about angels and goddesses.
Inge Lønning, a former head of the University of Oslo and top politician for the Conservative Party, said the princess' course involving angels is on a collision course with Christianity.
Lønning, a professor of theology, said her web site resembles the type of religion that existed in Norway before Christianity was introduced, "that being faith in your own powers. In my opinion that can't be combined with Christian faith."
As a member of Norway's Royal Family, the princess is expected to uphold the tenets of the state Evangelical Lutheran church. Calls were made immediately for her resignation from the church, or even her excommunication.
A religious historian at Norway's technical university NTNU, Asbjørn Dyrendal, said he thinks the princess' venture is embarrassing.
"I think this must be embarrassing for the royal couple (Martha Louise's parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja) because they belong to a generation where this type of religion was viewed as eccentric," Dyrendal said. "But this is, of course, a family that's used to eccentric relatives within European royalty, so they may think it's normal for their daughter to charge fees to make contact with angels."
There's been no comment on Princess Märtha Louise's venture, nor the debate surrounding it, from either the king or the queen, both of whom are said to be on holiday.
A survey conducted by newspaper VG, meanwhile, suggests that four out of 10 Norwegians agree with the princess that humans can have supernatural powers, and that it's possible to communicate with angels.
