| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Leviticus 4: 11 But the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung,
Leviticus 4: 12 even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.
Leviticus 4: 13 And if the whole congregation of Israel shall err, the thing being hid from the eyes of the assembly, and do any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty:
Leviticus 4: 14 when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 4: 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD; and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
Leviticus 4: 16 And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 4: 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.
Leviticus 4: 18 And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the remaining blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Prince Otto by Robert Louis Stevenson: of her?'

cease.' And he began to walk to and fro with his hands behind his
back.
'Well, Otto, may God guide you!' said Gotthold, after a considerable

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin: survive. We have distinct evidence on this head, in the plants which are
dominant, that is, which are commonest in their own homes, and are most
widely diffused, having produced the greatest number of new varieties. It
is also natural that the dominant, varying, and far-spreading species,
which already have invaded to a certain extent the territories of other
species, should be those which would have the best chance of spreading
still further, and of giving rise in new countries to new varieties and
species. The process of diffusion may often be very slow, being dependent
on climatal and geographical changes, or on strange accidents, but in the
long run the dominant forms will generally succeed in spreading. The
diffusion would, it is probable, be slower with the terrestrial inhabitants
