Forgiveness supports a critical position in the teachings of ACIM. Unlike main-stream notions of forgiveness, which regularly include pardoning the observed wrongdoings of the others, ACIM's forgiveness is a procedure of releasing judgments and issues held against oneself and others. It is just a recognition that the observed sins and mistakes are grounded in the illusions of the confidence, and through forgiveness, it's possible to see beyond these illusions to the natural innocence and divinity in most being. ACIM teaches that forgiveness is a road to inner peace and the key to undoing the ego's hold on tight the mind.

The Workbook for Pupils, comprising 365 classes, is a practical guide made to cause the scholar by way of a transformative process. Each training centers on a specific design, guiding the practitioner to use the teachings within their daily lives. The classes cover a wide range of matters, including belief, forgiveness, enjoy, and the character of reality. The a course in miracles character of the Workbook is intentional, reinforcing the idea that consistent practice is necessary for the change of consciousness.

A Class in Wonders also presents the thought of the Holy Nature as helpful information and intermediary involving the egoic mind and the true Self. The Sacred Soul is portrayed as a caring and nonjudgmental inner voice that helps individuals reinterpret their activities and perceptions in place with truth. ACIM encourages a continuing discussion with the Sacred Heart, seeking guidance and knowledge in all aspects of life.

Among the special facets of ACIM is their utilization of Christian terminology and symbolism, which could originally cause some to label it as a Christian text. But, the program transcends standard religious limits and talks to the general principles of spirituality. ACIM encourages people from all faiths (or none) to attempt a journey of self-discovery and inner change, emphasizing personal knowledge over dogma.
