The title might catch your attention, since the course itself indicates that you can't hide anything if you wanted to. Actually, I'm referring to something in the course that's somewhat hidden. Remember that for us, it was taught by Jesus, and he always has a perfectly justified "why."
Perhaps you realized it or not, but let's say the course is aimed at two types of people. Some want to be Masters of God, and others don't wish to be, but a change in the dream they're living wouldn't hurt. You are the dreamer, not the dream. Therefore, you can change the dream. You change it through the method he calls Atonement. In short, he shows you what he can do when you feel fear. His words are: Undoing fear is your responsibility. When you ask to be freed from fear, you're implying that it isn't. Instead, you should ask for help to change the conditions that gave rise to it. He's giving you the solution to your fears. For example, you can say: I surrender to the Atonement the conditions that give rise to my fear of…
Remember that if you can't do it on your own, it's good to seek a Master of God to help you.
There are more things to Atone for, for example, programs, patterns, wrong decisions, and more.
The method is always the same: "The Atonement," which is done by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus himself says that he is the one in charge of your Atonement and undoes the errors, or if you prefer, the sins, which, according to the Course, are a lack of love.
It is always him, whether you believe it or not. He only asks that you put it into practice and see the results. Since you will surely see them, your beliefs don't matter. Sooner or later, you will recognize that there is someone above who can do what would take you years and years of your life. He does it in an instant.
You might ask, "What is the hidden side of A Course in Miracles?" What it doesn't tell you directly is that, regardless of your religion, whether you have a favorite or are an atheist, you will eventually recognize that there are two beings who support you, whether you believe in them or not. Of course, in the end, you will surrender and accept that you might have been wrong. This brings you closer to God.
As you see results in your life, you will continually atone, and they themselves will tell you that you must continue atoning. Therefore, you have daily communication with them. You cannot stop believing, even if you say otherwise, since it is often difficult to admit you were wrong. Jesus always wins, and meanwhile, your ego dissolves. The miracle has occurred.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. You had and were Knowledge, then you forgot it, and now you recognize it. This means you are coming to know it again. God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus do not know what defeat is. They always win, and you are part of them.
Remember, the Kingdom of God is you; what else but you is the Kingdom of God?
