Excerpt from The Immortal Life
The theme of this work is one upon which Mr. Weiss meditated as long and deeply, perhaps, and with as intense an interest, as any contemporary. It engaged him during his whole adult life, and was never far from his mind. The value of these meditations was not derived solely from his possession of a subtile and penetrating intellect, warmed by poetic sensibility, and winged with imagination. It proceeded yet more from his mental attitude and the point of view assumed.
On the one hand, he felt deeply the significance of personal being. To him, it seemed not contained wholly in the flux of outward phenomena, but to strike down, and take root in that which eternally is. This was healthy, and a condition to all just thinking upon such matters; for so it must ever seem to all who will allow the human spirit to speak for itself.
