a) “⁸The past just slips away, and in its place is everlasting quiet.” (ACIM, M-20.2:8)
b) “God’s peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. ⁴Who sees anger as justified in any way or any circumstance proclaims that peace is meaningless and must believe that it cannot exist. ⁵In this condition, peace cannot be found. ⁶Therefore, forgiveness is the necessary condition for finding the peace of God.” (ACIM, M-20.3:3-6)
c) “How is the peace of God retained, once it is found? ²Returning anger, in whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return.” (ACIM, M-20.4:1-2)
d) “⁶Stop for a moment now and think of this: Is conflict what you want, or is God’s peace the better choice? ⁷Which gives you more? ⁸A tranquil mind is not a little gift. ⁹Would you not rather live than choose to die?” (ACIM, M-20.4:6-9)
e) “Forgive the world, and you will understand that everything that God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did not create is real. ⁸In this one sentence is our course explained. ⁹In this one sentence is our practicing given its one direction. ¹⁰And in this one sentence is the Holy Spirit’s whole curriculum specified exactly as it is.” (ACIM, M-20.5:7-10)
f) “What is the peace of God? ²No more than this; the simple understanding that His Will is wholly without opposite. ³There is no thought that contradicts His Will, yet can be true. ⁴The contrast between His Will and yours but seemed to be reality. ⁵In truth there was no conflict, for His Will is yours.” (ACIM, M-20.6:1-5)
