Forgiveness holds a critical position in the teachings of ACIM. Unlike traditional notions of forgiveness, which often include pardoning the perceived wrongdoings of others, ACIM's forgiveness is a procedure of releasing judgments and grievances held against oneself and others. It is a acceptance that the observed sins and errors are rooted in the illusions of the confidence, and through forgiveness, it's possible to see beyond these illusions to the inherent purity and divinity in most being. ACIM shows that forgiveness is a road to internal peace and the key to undoing the ego's hold on the mind.

The Book for Students, comprising 365 classes, is a practical information designed to lead the student by way of a major process. Each lesson targets a particular design, guiding the practitioner to utilize the teachings within their day-to-day lives.

The repetitive character of the Book is intentional, reinforcing the indisputable fact that consistent exercise is necessary for the transformation of consciousness.
