| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and
will be jealous for my holy name;
EZE 39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their
trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt
safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
EZE 39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered
them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight
of many nations;
EZE 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which
caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have
gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Tom Sawyer Abroad by Mark Twain: IDEA whether de man got de camel back er not?"
"No, I haven't."
I see myself there warn't no sense in the tale, to
chop square off that way before it come to anything,
but I warn't going to say so, because I could see Tom
was souring up pretty fast over the way it flatted out
and the way Jim had popped on to the weak place in
it, and I don't think it's fair for everybody to pile on
to a feller when he's down. But Tom he whirls on
me and says:
"What do YOU think of the tale?"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Sanitary and Social Lectures by Charles Kingsley: diseases specially which tend to lessen wholesale the health of
townsfolk, exposed to an artificial mode of life. Surely young
men and women should be taught something of the causes of zymotic
disease, and of scrofula, consumption, rickets, dipsomania,
cerebral derangement, and such like. They should be shown the
practical value of pure air, pure water, unadulterated food, sweet
and dry dwellings. Is there one of them, man or woman, who would
not be the safer and happier, and the more useful to his or her
neighbours, if they had acquired some sound notions about those
questions of drainage on which their own lives and the lives of
their children may every day depend? I say--women as well as men.
