| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Deuteronomy 29: 21 (29:20) and the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
Deuteronomy 29: 22 (29:21) And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith the LORD hath made it sick;
Deuteronomy 29: 23 (29:22) and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath;
Deuteronomy 29: 24 (29:23) even all the nations shall say 'Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?'
Deuteronomy 29: 25 (29:24) then men shall say: 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Egypt; Deuteronomy 29: 26 (29:25) and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that He had not allotted unto them;
Deuteronomy 29: 27 (29:26) therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
Deuteronomy 29: 28 (29:27) and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day'.--
Deuteronomy 29: 29 (29:28) The secret things belong unto the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

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: which I recognized as Thurid's.
"Then let us haste," said Matai Shang. "But to be doubly sure,
I will leave two who shall patrol this runway. Later they
may follow us upon another flier--overtaking us at Kaol."
My upstretched fingers never reached the window's sill. At
the first sound of the voices I drew back my hand and clung there
to my perilous perch, flattened against the perpendicular wall,
scarce daring to breathe.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from A Lover's Complaint by William Shakespeare: Against the thing he sought he would exclaim;
When he most burned in heart-wish'd luxury,
He preach'd pure maid and prais'd cold chastity.
'Thus merely with the garment of a Grace
The naked and concealed fiend he cover'd,
That the unexperienc'd gave the tempter place,
Which, like a cherubin, above them hover'd.
Who, young and simple, would not be so lover'd?
Ay me! I fell, and yet do question make
What I should do again for such a sake.
'O, that infected moisture of his eye,
