A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a distinctive spiritual curriculum designed for self-study, centered entirely on the practice of forgiveness. The foundational belief of the Course is that our sense of separation from love, or God, is the cause of all suffering, manifesting as fear, guilt, and conflict in the world.
The Course’s structure provides a comprehensive system for reversing this thinking. It consists of the Text, which lays the conceptual groundwork; a Workbook for Students, featuring 365 daily, practical lessons to change one's perception; and a Manual for Teachers, which addresses common questions about the Course’s terminology and application.1
True forgiveness, as taught in ACIM, is not about overlooking "sins" but about recognizing that the attacks and grievances we perceive are fundamentally illusions—projections of our own mind's error. Instead of condemning, the Course teaches that every moment of conflict is a call for love.
By undertaking the disciplined, daily mental exercises, students are guided to shift their mind from the ego's fear-based thought system to the Holy Spirit's vision of love and unity. The ultimate purpose of A Course in Miracles is to facilitate a complete perceptual shift, allowing the student to return to a state of profound and lasting peace, realizing their true, unified Self beyond the dream of separation.
