Excerpt from Nature and Life: Facts and Doctrines Relating to the Constitution of Matter, the New Dynamics, and the Philosophy of Nature

The thinker who freely seeks for truth, continuously changes his position in his aspirations toward mind and the ideal. He deserts the regions of phenomena and concrete things, to rise to those of the absolute and eternal. The farther he withdraws from the former, which had at first absorbed all his attention, the more strikingly does the perspective in which he viewed them alter. At last, he discerns nothing else in them but spectres without substance, and delusive phantoms. And in the degree and extent of his drawing near to the eternal and the absolute, reality comes more surely within his ken, and he gains a more vivid feeling and a keener conception of it. He measures the distance he has traversed, and values the worth of his own contem plations by the fullness of lucid clearness which enlight ens his faint view of the first principles of things, and by the depth of humble reverence with which he bows before the mysterious Power which created all!
