| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Isaiah 9: 20 (9:19) And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied; they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
Isaiah 9: 21 (9:20) Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together are against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 10: 1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write iniquity;
Isaiah 10: 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
Isaiah 10: 3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the ruin which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
Isaiah 10: 4 They can do nought except crouch under the captives, and fall under the slain. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 10: 5 O Asshur, the rod of Mine anger, in whose hand as a staff is Mine indignation!
Isaiah 10: 6 I do send him against an ungodly nation, and against the people of My wrath do I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Isaiah 10: 7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Isaiah 10: 8 For he saith: 'Are not my princes all of them kings?

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Monster Men by Edgar Rice Burroughs: she loved him, but somehow she dared not say the word
that would make her his for life.
Bududreen, the Malay mate was equally harassed by
conflicting desires, though of a different nature,
or he had his eye upon the main chance that was
represented to him by the great chest, and also upon
the lesser reward which awaited him upon delivery of
the girl to Rajah Muda Saffir. The fact that he could
find no safe means for accomplishing both these ends
simultaneously was all that had protected either from
his machinations.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Divine Comedy (translated by H.F. Cary) by Dante Alighieri: No sense of labour, but delight much more
Shall wait them urg'd along their upward way."
Then like to one, upon whose head is plac'd
Somewhat he deems not of but from the becks
Of others as they pass him by; his hand
Lends therefore help to' assure him, searches, finds,
And well performs such office as the eye
Wants power to execute: so stretching forth
The fingers of my right hand, did I find
Six only of the letters, which his sword
Who bare the keys had trac'd upon my brow.
The Divine Comedy (translated by H.F. Cary) |
