| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Koran: plague, and their resort is hell! a recompense for that which they
have earned!
They will adjure you to be pleased with them; but if ye are
pleased with them, God will not be pleased with a people who work
abomination.
The Arabs of the desert are keener in misbelief and hypocrisy, and
are more likely not to know the bounds which God has sent down to
His Apostle; but God is knowing and wise.
And of the Arabs of the desert are some who take what they expend to
be a forced loan, and they wait a turn of fortune against you; against
them shall a turn of evil fortune be; for God both hears and knows.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from An Unsocial Socialist by George Bernard Shaw: said the man submissively. "But from what I see, family or no
family, drunk or sober, the poor gets poorer and the rich richer
every day."
"Ain't it disgustin' to hear a man so ignorant of the improvement
in the condition of his class?" said Smilash, appealing to Miss
Wilson.
"If you intend to take this man home with you," she said, turning
sharply on him, "you had better do it at once."
"I take it kind on your part that you ask me to do anythink,
after your up and telling Mr. Wickens that I am the last person
in Lyvern you would trust with a job."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Betty Zane by Zane Grey: another. When his gaze alighted on Wetzel it became riveted there. The
hunter's attitude struck him as singular. Wetzel had his face half turned
toward the boys romping near him and he leaned carelessly against a white oak
tree. But a close observer would have seen, as Alfred did, that there was a
certain alertness in that rigid and motionless figure. Wetzel's eyes were
fixed on the western end of the island. Almost involuntarily Alfred's eyes
sought the same direction. The western end of the island ran out into a long
low point covered with briars, rushes and saw-grass. As Alfred directed his
gaze along the water line of this point he distinctly saw a dark form flit
from one bush to another. He was positive he had not been mistaken. He got up
slowly and unconcernedly, and strolled over to Wetzel.
