Quote from A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 23 - THE WAR AGAINST YOURSELF.

T-23.III.6. Mistake not truce for peace, nor compromise for the escape from conflict. 2 To be released from conflict means that it is over. 3 The door is open; you have left the battleground. 4 You have not lingered there in cowering hope that it will not return because the guns are stilled an instant, and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent. 5 There is no safety in a battleground. 6 You can look down on it in safety from above and not be touched. 7 But from within it you can find no safety. 8 Not one tree left still standing will shelter you. 9 Not one illusion of protection stands against the faith in murder. 10 Here stands the body, torn between the natural desire to communicate and the unnatural intent to murder and to die. 11 Think you the form that murder takes can offer safety? 12 Can guilt be absent from a battlefield?
