Forgiveness holds a essential role in the teachings of ACIM. Unlike traditional notions of forgiveness, which regularly involve pardoning the perceived wrongdoings of others, ACIM's forgiveness is an activity of delivering judgments and issues presented against oneself and others. It is just a acceptance that the perceived sins and errors are grounded in the illusions of the vanity, and through forgiveness, one can see beyond these illusions to the natural purity and divinity in most being. ACIM shows that forgiveness is just a path to inner peace and the key to undoing the ego's hold on tight the mind.

The Book for Students, comprising 365 classes, is a practical information made to cause the scholar by way of a major process. Each lesson targets a specific topic, a course in miracles the practitioner to use the teachings within their everyday lives. The classes protect a wide range of matters, including belief, forgiveness, love, and the character of reality. The repetitive character of the Book is intentional, reinforcing the idea that consistent practice is required for the change of consciousness.

A Class in Wonders also presents the thought of the Sacred Spirit as helpful information and intermediary involving the egoic mind and the actual Self. The Sacred Heart is portrayed as a supportive and nonjudgmental internal voice that helps people reinterpret their experiences and perceptions in position with truth. ACIM encourages a consistent conversation with the Sacred Spirit, seeking advice and wisdom in most areas of life.

One of many distinct areas of ACIM is its usage of Religious terminology and symbolism, which could initially lead some to classify it as a Christian text. Nevertheless, the program transcends standard religious boundaries and talks to the common concepts of spirituality. ACIM encourages people from all faiths (or none) to set about a trip of self-discovery and inner transformation, emphasizing particular experience over dogma.
