| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Herbert West: Reanimator by H. P. Lovecraft: of the upset lamp. Also, an attempt had been made to disturb a
new grave in the potter�s field, as if by futile and spadeless
clawing at the earth. That we could not understand, for we had
patted down the mould very carefully.
And for seventeen years
after that West would look frequently over his shoulder, and complain
of fancied footsteps behind him. Now he has disappeared.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Turn of the Screw by Henry James: "He was looking for someone else, you say--someone who was not you?"
"He was looking for little Miles." A portentous clearness now possessed me.
"THAT'S whom he was looking for."
"But how do you know?"
"I know, I know, I know!" My exaltation grew. "And YOU know, my dear!"
She didn't deny this, but I required, I felt, not even so much
telling as that. She resumed in a moment, at any rate:
"What if HE should see him?"
"Little Miles? That's what he wants!"
She looked immensely scared again. "The child?"
"Heaven forbid! The man. He wants to appear to THEM."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Flame and Shadow by Sara Teasdale: The swallows weave in flight across the zenith
On an aerial loom.
Into the garden peace comes back with twilight,
Peace that since noon had left the purple phlox,
The heavy-headed asters, the late roses
And swaying hollyhocks.
For at high-noon I heard from this same garden
The far-off murmur as when many come;
Up from the village surged the blind and beating
Red music of a drum;
And the hysterical sharp fife that shattered
