Our good intentions should be worth something, we want to insist, but Jesus and Kenneth caution us that they are based on the arrogant assumption that we know what the problem is, whether it be our own or another's, and so that we also have a good idea what the solution should be. To put it bluntly, we are always wrong. The practice of the Course asks us to have the genuine humility to recognize that we do not know what is best for anyone, including ourselves, but that there is a Teacher always available within our mind Who does know. And His identification of both the problem and its solution is not what we are expecting, for He, unlike us, knows Who we really are. The process of releasing all our judgments about both the problem and the solution is the essence of healing and forgiveness.
