My apologies, my phone died there. But what I was going to say is that if you read The Gospel of Thomas, at the start of it Jesus says that the one who finds the meaning of his words will not taste death. He does not say that if you believe in him and that he died for your sins will you not taste death. So it's more of a gnostic approach, and Jesus in ACIM seems to be saying something similar.
Here are a couple other quotes from Jung that I did not get to:
"No tree, it is said, can grown to Heaven unless its roots reach down to hell."
Or, as the Course says, you have to see that you do not want the ego before you can really be free of it. You have to see the hell that you made, and then it is that much easier to let it go. Because you begin to see it's a simple choice: The ego = nothing; Love = everything. What could be more simple?
Here's one other notable quote:
"The Christ-symbol is of the greatest importance for psychology in so far as it is perhaps the most highly developed and differentiated symbol of the self, apart from the figure of the Buddha."
Here are some of the other Jung quotes that I read:
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Everything that irritates us about others
can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method
for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
No tree, it is said, can grown to Heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.
