| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Exodus 29: 10 And thou shalt bring the bullock before the tent of meeting; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock.
Exodus 29: 11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 29: 12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; and thou shalt pour out all the remaining blood at the base of the altar.
Exodus 29: 13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the lobe above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and make them smoke upon the altar.
Exodus 29: 14 But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp; it is a sin-offering.
Exodus 29: 15 Thou shalt also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.
Exodus 29: 16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and dash it round about against the altar.
Exodus 29: 17 And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
Exodus 29: 18 And thou shalt make the whole ram smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering unto the LORD; it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Exodus 29: 19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.
Exodus 29: 20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Touchstone by Edith Wharton: "Oh, just--the letters a woman would write to a man she knew well.
They were tremendous friends, he and she."
"And she wrote a clever letter?"
"Clever? It was Margaret Aubyn."
A great silence filled the room. It seemed to Glennard that the
words had burst from him as blood gushes from a wound.
"Great Scott!" said Flamel, sitting up. "A collection of Margaret
Aubyn's letters? Did you say YOU had them?"
"They were left me--by my friend."
"I see. Was he--well, no matter. You're to be congratulated, at
any rate. What are you going to do with them?"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Lady Susan by Jane Austen: imposition I have been under, and the absolute necessity of an immediate
and eternal separation from you. You cannot doubt to what I allude.
Langford! Langford! that word will be sufficient. I received my information
in Mr. Johnson's house, from Mrs. Mainwaring herself. You know how I have
loved you; you can intimately judge of my present feelings, but I am not so
weak as to find indulgence in describing them to a woman who will glory in
having excited their anguish, but whose affection they have never been able
to gain.
