Broadening One's Scope

'The study of the Prophet [Nostradamus] certainly broadened the scope of my own reading and in that alone it more than repaid the difficult researches of the years of war. I read large numbers of books on every variety of occult phenomena and and came to the conclusion that the occultists were not nearly such fools as my superficial rationalism had led me to suppose.'

James Laver, Nostradamus (Penguin Books, 1952), p. 11.

I daresay that sentiment will seem familiar to many Maranatha puzzlers.
