Well Carrie:

I don't know about your conversation with Ken, but I know I read that
on my own, and it just made sense to me.
>>it's just who is it a correction by?<<
?
Maybe for Helen and Bill. And maybe for all of us.

that
needed another whole paragraph, later on (out of context with what
that chapter was about) and not just having Helen go to the original
lines and cross out, write in the margins, and change it.<<

Good grief Carrie, the whole Course is full of contradictions in form,
but not in the overall meaning.
>>But someone's fear decided to
correct it and change it later on in
the book.<<
?
You sure its not your fear that wants to believe that?
>>There's also the idea that the course teaches that we
CAN'T "do
harm/hurt to anyone else".<<
?
In truth we can't. Because in truth we are still as God created us. But
bodies sure as hell can harm/hurt one another. And to deny it is inappropriate
use of denial as the Course says about the body.
>>Doesn't really
matter, whatever anyone believes is true is true.<<

As long as they don't promote it as what A Course in Miracles teaches.
