Quote from A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 11 - GOD OR THE EGO.

T-11.V.12. God is as dependent on you as you are on Him, because His Autonomy encompasses yours, and is therefore incomplete without it. 2 You can only establish your autonomy by identifying with Him, and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. 3 The ego believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. 4 But it is given you to know that God's function is yours, and happiness cannot be found apart from Your joint Will. 5 Recognize only that the ego's goal, which you have pursued so diligently, has merely brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear is happiness. 6 Upheld by fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. 7 Yet God's Son is not insane, and cannot believe it. 8 Let him but recognize it and he will not accept it. 9 For only the insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that love can be gained by attack. 10 But the sane realize that only attack could produce fear, from which the Love of God completely protects them.
