| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from When the World Shook by H. Rider Haggard: He looked about him slowly, then asked in a deep, cold voice,
speaking in the Orofenan tongue:
"What do you, slaves?"
No one seemed able to answer, they were too horror-stricken at
this sudden vision of their fabled god, whose fierce features of
wood had become flesh; they only turned to fly. He waved his thin
hand and they came to a standstill, like animals which have
reached the end of their tether and are checked by the chains
that bind them. There they stood in all sorts of postures,
immovable and looking extremely ridiculous in their paint and
feathers, with dread unutterable stamped upon their evil faces.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: warm them when chill and delicious viands when hungry; they were
dressed in excellent clothes; and, still more, they enjoyed one
another's company and speech, interchanging each day looks of
affection and kindness. What did their tears imply? Did they
really express pain? I was at first unable to solve these
questions, but perpetual attention and time explained to me many
appearances which were at first enigmatic.
"A considerable period elapsed before I discovered one of the
causes of the uneasiness of this amiable family: it was poverty,
and they suffered that evil in a very distressing degree. Their
nourishment consisted entirely of the vegetables of their garden

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Koran: We have made the Koran easy as a reminder- but is there any one
who will mind?
Thamud called the warnings lies, and said, 'A mortal, one of us,
alone, shall we follow him? then indeed were we in error and
excitement!
'Is the warning cast on him alone among us? nay, he is an insolent
liar!
'They shall know to-morrow about the insolent liar!
'Verily, we are about to send the she-camel as a trial for them,
then watch them and have patience! and inform them that the water is
shared between them (and her); each draught shall be sought by turns.'
