He said that this was Jesus calling Bill (which extends to us) for making excuses that he could not understand what the Course was saying. Robert uses the term \u2018pseudo-retardation\u2019 which helped me to understand that the section is saying we pretend to not understand, especially when the Course is pointing to behaviors within us that are difficult to acknowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where am I with my study of the Course?

I would like to hear from a student who is further along to say if questioning remains important to a soul\u2019s growth, or does personal will aligned with God\u2019s will mean quiet serenity only.
