The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood

PSA 81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
delivered from the pots.
PSA 81:7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered
thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of
Meribah. Selah.
PSA 81:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if
thou wilt hearken unto me;
PSA 81:9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
worship any strange god.

It happened to one of Papa's stenographers. I
had her up to the house to take notes for a report
I was making to one of the sociological committees
I was on then.
And she took the notes and put them into shape
for me, but when she sent the report to me the back
of one of the sheets was just full of one sentence
written over and over again. She didn't know she'd
included that sheet, of course.
It was so curious I asked her about it.
