I was reading an excerpt from Lee McCann's Nostradamus : A Man Who Saw Through Time, and within the first few pages, page x of the Foreword to be exact, I found a part that sparked a thought-web in my mind. It read " What is "before" and "after"? What is up or down when considered outside the limited, inaccurate criteria of the five senses? The fourth-dimensional vision of Nostradamus, like the Red Queen's cry, transcended the meanings which we give our words. The man who saw through time watched, as through a telescope, the distant stars of the future events rise and set, beyond the eye of the present, over a period of four hundred years". Who is to say what is supernatural or paranormal, when every person and thing on this Earth is different from one another, whether it be the slightest or greatest difference. Who is to dictate who the hero, villain, or underdog will be, from their background or appearance. We are all unique, in our own ways, and that means every one of us special. Nostradamus was his own kind of special, which still leaves experts in awe, and pondering the mysteries of his ways. But I love how McCann expresses, from the very beginning, that there is no true distinction between what we can be; it's simply what we show to the world, that gives us our name.
