Key to the teachings of "A Course in Miracles" is the concept of forgiveness as the important thing to internal peace and salvation. Unlike traditional notions of forgiveness, which frequently include pardoning others for observed wrongdoings, the Course highlights forgiveness as a means of publishing the self-imposed barriers to enjoy and healing. By relinquishing issues and judgments, persons may free themselves from the bondage of the ego and experience the transformative energy of divine love.

At the heart of "A Program in Miracles" may be the acceptance that correct salvation originates from a shift in perception—from anxiety to enjoy, from separation to unity.

Through the practice of forgiveness and the willingness to submit the ego's illusions, pupils of the Course can knowledge miracles—miracles of healing, wonders of love, and miracles of transformation.
