A Course in Miracles represents an integration of psychological principles with a non-dualistic metaphysics. Its practical teachings are about forgiveness which requires the removal of ego blocks to the awareness of love in our mind. These blocks consist of the belief in sin, or separation from God; guilt and fear which are related to motivations to compete and be special. Member sites foster an understanding of the principles of the Course. This ring does not endorse the need for a mentor, correspondence study for a fee, or study of versions of the Course not published by the Foundation for Inner Peace or the Foundation for A Course in Miracles.
Oprah Winfrey herself dived aboard the wave of excitement brought forth by the new-age (although they are of ancient origin as found in many texts of old as well as in the wisdom of the great historical teachers) ideas as endorsed in The Secret. And it is because of this that these astounding concepts are now widening in fame and providing life affirmations for scores of people, whos lives will profit from knowing and growing in this ancient concept made new again.

A helpful answer to this question may be found on a Web site dedicated to the Course's teachings about forgiveness. That site is found at: http://www.miraclestudies.net/Forgiveness.html There you will find an entire section of the ACIM Workbook which addresses that question.
The unique aspects of the Course's teachings about forgiveness involve recognizing that there is no cause for anger, blame and judgment of others because guilt is not warranted since, in truth (in Heaven) sin is not possible. In reality, it is not possible to separate from God and act apart from His Love. Forgiveness is only necessary in our dream world where the illusion of separation seems to be real. It is the ego thought system that produces the dream of separation, sin, guilt and fear that is our world; therefore the process of forgiveness involves undoing the ego which only acquires it seeming power by the fact that we choose to identify with it at the level of mind and spirit.
