“Although the identity of the voice that authored the Course cannot be proven, we do have to call him (or it) something. Throughout the Complete and Annotated Edition, we will call him by the name Jesus, not as a statement of established fact, not as something you are required to believe, but merely because this is the name the author gives himself and because we ourselves accept that claim.” [ACIM CE Front-2.27]
“A universal theology is impossible, but a universal experience is not only possible but necessary. It is this experience toward which the course is aimed. Here alone consistency becomes possible because here alone uncertainty ends.” [ACIM CE C-In.2]
“This course remains within the ego framework, where it is needed… Therefore it uses words, which are symbolic and cannot express what lies beyond symbols.” [ACIM CE C-In.2-3]
