| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Light of Western Stars by Zane Grey: "I said I was coming round to take my medicine."
"Meaning you'll not run from Al Hammond? Gene, your skull is as
thick as an old cow's. Al will never know anything about what
you did to his sister unless you tell him. And if you do that
he'll shoot you. She won't give you away. She's a thoroughbred.
Why, she was so white last night I thought she'd drop at my feet,
but she never blinked an eyelash. I'm a woman, Gene Stewart and
if I couldn't feel like Miss Hammond I know how awful an ordeal
she must have had. Why, she's one of the most beautiful, the
most sought after, the most exclusive women in New York City.
There's a crowd of millionaires and lords and dukes after her.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen: shuddered as he tried to describe the woman, but he couldn't
tell why. She seems to have been a sort of enigma; and I expect
if that one dead man could have told tales, he would have told
some uncommonly queer ones. And there you are again in another
puzzle; what could a respectable country gentleman like Mr.
Blank (we'll call him that if you don't mind) want in such a
very queer house as Number 20? It's altogether a very odd case,
isn't it?"
"It is indeed, Austin; an extraordinary case. I
didn't think, when I asked you about my old friend, I should
strike on such strange metal. Well, I must be off; good-day."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King Henry VI by William Shakespeare: supplications in the quill.
2 PETITIONER.
Marry, the Lord protect him, for he's a good
man! Jesu bless him!
[Enter SUFFOLK and QUEEN.]
PETER.
Here 'a comes, methinks, and the queen with him.
I'll be the first, sure.
2 PETITIONER.
Come back, fool; this is the Duke of Suffolk and
not my lord protector.
