Sin

Psychiatrist and Priest Atle Rones was last year was honored with the King’s Medal of Merit for his extensive and varied work.

– I think Princess Märtha’s a great lady, so I think it’s a shame that she’s gone, he says to Our Country.

Rones react like other critics on the commercial side of the phenomenon; Lisa Williams and her “chimney itself” on desperate people who want to talk to their loved ones again. But in addition to the moral, believes Rones, including also was a director and senior consultant at Modum bathroom for many years, the sessions may be negative for the individual.

– Unhealthy

– Death is a reality, and even though we as Christians hope for an afterlife, that we will meet God and perhaps our loved ones again, so this is something else, and I mean it is unhealthy. It would be better to talk to a priest, therapist or counselor. That way you will come faster ahead in life, than if you live in the illusion that the dead still live. You run the risk that you end up denying the reality of death. It is better to look death in the face, take the pain and sorrow and be done with it, than to pretend that the dead are not dead, says Rones.

Märtha Louise relate seemingly quiet criticism:

– I stand very safe in that type of communication and listening to what’s right for me. And then all the other judge on the basis of his or her position, the princess said to NRK television news Sunday.

Gift from God

Lisa Williams has previously stated that she is sent from God to establish contact between the living and the dead. She claims she has a gift she is obligated to apply. She would not have been able to travel as much and achieved so many if she had done it for free, she claims.

Professor Emeritus at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oslo, notto Thelle, took in his book Princess Angels in 2010 called for a dialogue between Christians and alternative movement. However, he has little sense of Lisa Williams and her seances.

– It is a type of mass counseling and it’s show. I have even been present at one of her sessions with Princess Märtha Louise, thinking that if she could really talk to the dead, why was it so inaccurate? Why should she feel back and then say guess on the basis of the response to the one she talking to? It is an illusion that one can summon the dead on the way, says Thelle.

He believes that it is necessary to talk to the living than the dead. It is more challenging but also more rewarding.

Inner calls

– Both I and others can probably have conversations with our dead. But there is an inner conversation where we even ask and answer and wonder. It may be part of a grieving process or expression of a grateful thought. But we do not call the dead. I have also met people who have had experiences where the surprising and without having asked for it has had some experience with people who are dead. They are trustworthy people and may not have even wanted it. I do not know what it is, but will not draw the line that people can have such inexplicable experiences.

– Is this talking to the dead part of a neo-religious trend?

– There is a wave perhaps, but we have experienced similar waves of interest in spiritualism since mid 1800 ies. I think this has much to do with the mass media. When Lisa Williams gets such attention every time she comes to Norway with his show, not least because she operates together with Princess Märtha Louise. Without that connection had been equally good case for media, says notto Thelle.
