| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: NUM 23:26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,
saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
NUM 23:27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring
thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou
mayest curse me them from thence.
NUM 23:28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh
toward jeshimon.
NUM 23:29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
NUM 23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a
ram on every altar.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley: down, and yet they continually come again. Now, if we and all

alder and willow.
But how can trees fight? Could they move or beat each other with
their boughs?
Not quite that; though they do beat each other with their boughs,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Red Seal by Natalie Sumner Lincoln: "Jimmie will be justified," she declared stoutly. "Has the coroner
held the autopsy yet, Dr. Stone?"
"Autopsy!" McIntyre spoke with sharp abruptness. "I thought it was
clearly established that Jimmie died from angina pectoris?"
"It is so believed," responded Stone. His mystification was growing;
had not Helen informed her father of the scene which had transpired
at the police court, and of her request to the coroner? "I
understand the post-mortem examination will be made this afternoon,
Helen."
A heavy paper knife, nicely balanced between McIntyre's well
manicured fingers, dropped to the floor as a step sounded behind
