| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs: leaped high in the air, emitting what in a human being
would have been an exclamation of delight. This would
be the end of Tarzan and most of Tublat's troubles.
From now on he could lead his life in peace and security.
Tarzan fell quite forty feet, alighting on his back in a thick
bush.
Kala was the first to reach his side--ferocious, hideous,
loving Kala. She had seen the life crushed from her own
balu in just such a fall years before. Was she to lose
this one too in the same way? Tarzan was lying quite
still when she found him, embedded deeply in the bush.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: fallen thick before the throne, upon me, and upon the battling
warriors at the other door.
They did not essay to enter the apartment, but scanned its
every corner from where they stood, and then, when their eyes had
sought its entire area, a look of fierce rage overspread the
features of Matai Shang, and a cold and cunning smile touched the
lips of Phaidor.
Then they were gone, but not before a taunting laugh was thrown
directly in my face by the woman.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Seraphita by Honore de Balzac: "After establishing mathematically that man lives eternally in spheres
of either a lower or a higher grade, Swedenborg applies the term
'Spiritual Angels' to beings who in this world are prepared for
heaven, where they become angels. According to him, God has not
created angels; none exist who have not been men upon the earth. The
earth is the nursery-ground of heaven. The Angels are therefore not
Angels as such ('Angelic Wisdom,' 57), they are transformed through
their close conjunction with God; which conjunction God never refuses,
because the essence of God is not negative, but essentially active.
The spiritual angels pass through three natures of love, because man
is only regenerated through successive stages ('True Religion').
