Quote from A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 13 - THE GUILTLESS WORLD.

T-13.III.11. In peace he needed nothing and asked for nothing. 2 In war he demanded everything and found nothing. 3 For how could the gentleness of love respond to his demands, except by departing in peace and returning to the Father? 4 If the Son did not wish to remain in peace, he could not remain at all. 5 For a darkened mind cannot live in the light, and it must seek a place of darkness where it can believe it is where it is not. 6 God did not allow this to happen. 7 Yet you demanded that it happen, and therefore believed that it was so.
