| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Confessio Amantis by John Gower: So that nothing schal go beside,
That he the riht ne schal decide.
Wherof full many a gret debat
Reformed is to good astat,
And pes sustiened up alofte
With esy wordes and with softe, 1540
Wher strengthe scholde lete it falle.
The Philosophre amonges alle
Forthi commendeth this science,
Which hath the reule of eloquence.
In Ston and gras vertu ther is,
Confessio Amantis |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Othello by William Shakespeare: Aemil. Neuer my Lord
Othe. That's strange.
Aemil. I durst (my Lord) to wager, she is honest:
Lay downe my Soule at stake: If you thinke other,
Remoue your thought. It doth abuse your bosome:
If any wretch haue put this in your head,
Let Heauen requit it with the Serpents curse,
For if she be not honest, chaste, and true,
There's no man happy. The purest of their Wiues
Is foule as Slander
Othe. Bid her come hither: go.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Shadow out of Time by H. P. Lovecraft: a time when groups or cults did not secretly cherish certain of
these hints. In the Necronomicon the presence of such a cult among
human beings was suggested - a cult that sometimes gave aid to
minds voyaging down the aeons from the days of the Great Race.
And, meanwhile, the Great Race itself waxed well-nigh omniscient,
and turned to the task of setting up exchanges with the minds
of other planets, and of exploring their pasts and futures. It
sought likewise to fathom the past years and origin of that black,
aeon-dead orb in far space whence its own mental heritage had
come - for the mind of the Great Race was older than its bodily
form.
