First, Bob Gardner's post is very clear and correct.

If you are talking about creating a flight plan and flying a course, the
term bearing is a bit out of place. For flight planning you'll start with
a line on a chart which will be the True Course and end with Compass
Heading.

You use Compass Heading to point the aircraft in a direction that will
result in moving you along the True Course.

The steps to calculate Compass Heading a

True Course - The line on the chart expressed as a True North based course

True Heading - True Course corrected for Wind Correction Angle

Magnetic Heading - True Heading corrected for magnetic variation

Compass Heading - Magnetic Heading corrected for Compass Deviation Error

(I feel your pain... I just went through this stuff too...)
