| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy: two dinners at once may perhaps get more enjoyment but will not attain
his purpose, for his stomach will not digest the two dinners.
If the purpose of marriage is the family, the person who wishes to
have many wives or husbands may perhaps obtain much pleasure, but in
that case will not have a family.
If the purpose of food is nourishment and the purpose of marriage is
the family, the whole question resolves itself into not eating more
than one can digest, and not having more wives or husbands than are

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: in other onsite areas because of induced activity in the soil.
Twenty-four hours after the detonation, the gamma intensity at ground
zero was estimated to be 600 to 700 R/h. This estimate was based on
data provided by the tank crew that drove to ground zero to obtain
soil samples. The intensity decreased to about 2 R/h at 725 meters
from ground zero. Gamma intensities of 0.1 R/h or more were confined
within a circular area extending about 1,100 meters from ground zero
(except in areas of fallout). One week after the shot, the gamma
intensity at ground zero was about 45 R/h. After 30 days, intensities
at ground zero had decreased to 15 R/h, and intensities of 0.1 R/h or
more were not encountered beyond about 365 meters from ground zero.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Dunwich Horror by H. P. Lovecraft: stretch like titan phantasms beyond all spheres of force and matter,
space and time. Presently Wilbur raised his head and began speaking
in that strange, resonant fashion which hinted at sound-producing
organs unlike the run of mankind's.
'Mr Armitage,' he said,
'I calc'late I've got to take that book home. They's things in
it I've got to try under sarten conditions that I can't git here,
en' it 'ud be a mortal sin to let a red-tape rule hold me up.
Let me take it along, Sir, an' I'll swar they wun't nobody know
the difference. I dun't need to tell ye I'll take good keer of
it. It wan't me that put this Dee copy in the shape it is...'
