ACIM & Madoff: (2 min 4 sec)

While the Madoff scandal was undoubtedly devastating for many, viewing it through the lens of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) offers an opportunity for a shift in perspective. 

Here are 10 lessons we can draw from "Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street" that align with ACIM principles:

ACIM teaches that laughter helps us transcend our problems. The sheer audacity of Madoff's scheme, fooling some of the world's savviest investors, is almost comical in its absurdity.

The documentary shows many pointing fingers at Madoff. ACIM reminds us that blame is a form of projection, distracting us from our own responsibility.

Investors' pursuit of impossibly high returns reflects ACIM's teaching that worldly desires are illusory.

While challenging, forgiving Madoff (and ourselves) is a path to inner peace, as ACIM emphasizes.

Madoff's fear of being exposed drove his actions. ACIM teaches that fear stems from ego, not our true selves.

The "us vs. them" mentality prevalent in the aftermath goes against ACIM's principle of oneness.

Many investors ignored red flags. ACIM encourages staying present and trusting our intuition.

Viewing the scandal as an opportunity for growth aligns with ACIM's emphasis on miracles as shifts in perception.

ACIM teaches to suspend judgment. Even Madoff's actions can be seen as a cry for help rather than evil.

Choosing love and compassion, even in the face of loss, is a core ACIM principle we can apply to this situation.

Remember, ACIM isn't about condoning harmful actions. It's about finding inner peace by changing our perceptions. Madoff's scheme, while destructive, serves as a powerful teacher if we're willing to look beyond the surface.
