| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Koran: when they swore, 'We will cut its fruit at morn!'
But they made not the exception; and there came round about it an
encompassing calamity from thy Lord the while they slept; and on the
morrow it was as one the fruit of which is cut.
And they cried to each other in the morning, 'Go early to your tilth
if ye would cut it!'
So they set off, saying privily to each other, 'There shall surely
enter it to-day unto you no poor person!'
And they went early deciding to be stingy.
And when they saw it they said, 'Verily, we have erred! Nay, we
are forbidden (its fruit)!'

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Tin Woodman of Oz by L. Frank Baum: didn't think to do that when I transformed Polychrome
into a Canary-Bird. But perhaps, when she sees how
cheerful you are, she will cease to be silent and
sullen and take to singing. I will go get the bird and
let you see her."
With this, Mrs. Yoop went into the next room and soon
returned bearing a golden cage in which sat upon a
swinging perch a lovely yellow Canary. "Polychrome,"
said the Giantess, "permit me to introduce to you a
Green Monkey, which used to be a boy called Woot the
Wanderer, and a Tin Owl, which used to be a Tin Woodman

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Numbers 18: 21 And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. Numbers 18: 22 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Numbers 18: 23 But the Levites alone shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18: 24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they set apart as a gift unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said unto them: Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'
Numbers 18: 25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Numbers 18: 26 'Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them: When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall set apart of it a gift for the LORD, even a tithe of the tithe.
Numbers 18: 27 And the gift which ye set apart shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the wine-press.
Numbers 18: 28 Thus ye also shall set apart a gift unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give the gift which is set apart unto the LORD t
