| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Salammbo by Gustave Flaubert: He presented himself as a saviour with six thousand men all carrying
meal under their cloaks, and forty elephants laden with forage and
dried meat. The people flocked quickly around them; they gave them
names. The sight of these strong animals, sacred to Baal, gave the
Carthaginians even more joy than the arrival of such relief; it was a
token of the tenderness of the god, a proof that he was at last about
to interfere in the war to defend them.
Narr' Havas received the compliments of the Ancients. Then he ascended
to Salammbo's palace.
He had not seen her again since the time when in Hamilcar's tent amid
the five armies he had felt her little, cold, soft hand fastened to

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King Lear by William Shakespeare: Should many people, under two commands,
Hold amity? 'Tis hard; almost impossible.
Gon. Why might not you, my lord, receive attendance
From those that she calls servants, or from mine?
Reg. Why not, my lord? If then they chanc'd to slack ye,
We could control them. If you will come to me
(For now I spy a danger), I entreat you
To bring but five-and-twenty. To no more
Will I give place or notice.
Lear. I gave you all-
Reg. And in good time you gave it!

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Glinda of Oz by L. Frank Baum: knew best, talking with others, and making them all
feel that she was their friend. When at last she joined
Glinda and Ozma in the reception hall, she found them
talking earnestly about the condition of the people,
and how to make them more happy and contented --
although they were already the happiest and most
contented folks in all the world.
This interested Ozma, of course, but it didn't
interest Dorothy very much, so the little girl ran over
to a big table on which was lying open Glinda's Great
Book of Records.
