| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Ezekiel 16: 62 And I will establish My covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD;
Ezekiel 16: 63 that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.'
Ezekiel 17: 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ezekiel 17: 2 'Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
Ezekiel 17: 3 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar;
Ezekiel 17: 4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
Ezekiel 17: 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters, he set it as a slip.
Ezekiel 17: 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Ezekiel 17: 7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Herbert West: Reanimator by H. P. Lovecraft: Of Herbert

experiments fascinated me utterly, and I was his closest companion.
Now that he is gone and the spell is broken, the actual fear is
greater. Memories and possibilities are ever more hideous than

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from An Episode Under the Terror by Honore de Balzac: two poor nuns, he was afraid that he had gone too far. They were
trembling, and the tears stood in their eyes.
"Do not fear," he said frankly. "I know your names and the name of
your guest. Three days ago I heard of your distress and devotion to
the venerable Abbe de----"
"Hush!" Sister Agathe cried, in the simplicity of her heart, as she
laid her finger on her lips.
"You see, Sisters, that if I had conceived the horrible idea of
betraying you, I could have given you up already, more than once----"
At the words the priest came out of his hiding-place and stood in
their midst.
