He has claimed to be a king in a past life, according to an article I read somewhere.
I was under the impression that "American aristocracy" is "old money". I.e. families that have been rich and held prominent positions for at least a couple of generations.
It was a little weird to read Durek's description of his childhood. Childish in fact.
We lived in a big house! The biggest house of them all. In fact we had several (no doubt huge) houses. And yachts, loads of them. - And I will continue: We had doorknobs of gold. That is, only on the yachts. The doorknobs in our houses were diamonds....
Come on! This does sound a bit manic here, eh? And it's in line with other statements made by the good Durek. It's like he is making something impressive up, without for a second considering that someone will say: Hey, that's not how it was!
The Danish word for a person who can't help himself from lying (usually with the intention of getting attention) is "mytoman" - a "mythomaniac" - if there is such a word in English.
I found ML's little talk about herself interesting.
To me there is no doubts that the feelings about how she felt outside, out of place and a misfit within her family even, are genuine.
However, the paradox is obvious. She finds her title and her position a hindrance (that she has now partly overcome, according to herself) for her to live the "normal" life she so much desires. But at the same time she will not give up her title, or just stop using her title.
She is using her title and position to talk ad nauseaum about how hard it is for her to have the title and position! - Oh, my head!
(Something the papers have not failed to point out!)
For a person who claims to be empathic there sure is a lack of empathy in the sense that she appears unable to view things or perhaps comprehend things from the perspective of others.
And when challenged she reacts in an immature manner, by basically sulking.
I don't know if it's a character defect, or mental defect or whatever it is but it will explain the pattern we have seen over the past days.
Let's have a look at what the local Tromsø reporter has to say about the show yesterday.
He is not impressed! Not at all!

The whole thing lasted two hours in which ML and Shaman were to take the audience through some exercises in order to "inspire each other to figure out who you really are."
The journalist won't dismiss such a quest, but he has big problems seeing how the show can benefit anyone, even those who watched it wit an ironic distance.
What annoyed the journalist was lack of substance and lack of content.
ML talked somewhat incoherently about her difficult upbringing and the as a consequence mistrust of other people, and her road to how she puts it, her ending up as a "high-sensitive fountain of light."
In the reporters opinion meaningless but made monotonous when garnished with platitudes like "always follow your heart."
At long last Durek took over and the scene changed totally. He commanded the room like "a TV-preacher."
He talked about this and that end everything and inbetween he talked about being outside the box and checking out ML.
Then Shaman really tested the general knowledge of the audience, as the journalist express it, by asking:
What happens if you don't drink water?
- We die!
What happens if you quit eating?
- We die!
That was followed by some shamanisk, which consisted of tapping wrists and blowing, while Durek tried to get out the true feelings and thought in the open.
Then there was a short intermission before Durek continued with shaminist stamping of the feet, snorting and waving of the arms, before ML took over again.
That was one "long tirade of nonsense and commonalities" about how you should not fit in the "normal box" followed by the importance of loving yourself and that Norwegians are way too reserved/closed.
Here ML lashed out at the press again: "What has happened to me in the Norwegian press, will happen to all who comes out of the box."
The whole thing ended with letting the microphone going round so that some from the audience could share their negative thoughts with the rest of the hall.
The journalist commented on that by writing: "Those chosen were in turn corrected by the lectures. One of the main-points is after all that you should not let your life be controlled by the expectations of others...
That's the job of Durek and Märtha. Get it!"

A most entertaining article!
If he is fairly representative of the Norwegian press, it's war!
And it
is war!
The Norwegian paper Dagbladet has send reporters to USA to dig out dirt on Durek.
https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/mrt...-magi/71088856
And they have started to have a look at the court records after a tumultuous lawsuit against Durek, and his then boyfriend, who were sued for among other things harassment, threats on his life, and black magic.
I'll spare you the details, but what should have been "a spiritual commune" ended up in a big row!
- I guess we can expect more from USA the next days.
Aha!
