This presentation of the basic ideas of A Course in Miracles serves both as an introduction for those new to the Course, as well as offering its long-time students a unique approach to the Course's teaching of "not making the error real." This important principle cautions the student against using pseudo-problems as a defense against the true separation. Beginning with an original cosmological myth, this book emphasizes the application of this central teaching—the foundation of forgiveness—to our everyday lives, in a spirit of non-opposition and love.
