The Course has very long-range goals which may not possibly be recognized now. None of you has found his true function yet. The reason being the central factor in the master plan has not even emerged, and the parts cannot fall into place at this time. It will start to be clear come july 1st, but won't be fully understood for some time.
Nor could it be required to be clearer than is required to demonstrate the ways you're to attend be of all assist in your appointed roles. Each has been meticulously chosen, and there have been no accidents or accidental meetings. God watches over His Word and His messengers. Trust only that. It would be impossible to spell out the important points which depend on items that have not yet happened, people not even met, and events which have not even occurred. You will still be told what to do in just about any particular instance when you ask.
As time continues on, some of the answers will seem quite surprising. Rejoice when that happens. It means that the following phase has begun. Everything that you are doing now will disappear, and you will not remember it in the light of what'll happen afterwards. Little children, be not afraid. Just think of this: God may be the REAL Foundation of the Course. It needs you just in His Name. Would He then not tell you what direction to go and help you do it?
More About A Course in Miracles
My buddy does not harm. He wills no harm. In this way of thinking is very much in line with the lesson in A Course in Miracles “My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And what I choose to see I'll behold.” My brother does not harm. He wills no harm. There's a part in Step 241 of Steps to Knowledge, “My anger is unjustified” which vibrates in sympathy to this train of thought:
Anger, then, isn't justified, for it is just a misinterpretation of true communication. Your anger isn't justified because anger is born of confusion. Yet, confusion requires preparation and the actual application of Knowledge. Therefore, the sinful aren't punished but are attended to. The wicked aren't delivered to hell but are prepared for Heaven. Here is the true nature of God's purpose in the world. That is why God can never be angry because God isn't offended. God is just applying God to a situation where God has temporarily been forgotten.
