The Kindness Paradigm enhances all lives and diminishes none. Every person can use these ideas to create a life of abundance, a life that is pleasing to them and will not diminish any other in any way.
It is important to understand that within a paradigm of kindness none other are diminished. While others may not choose to live their lives as fully as they might, your choosing to live your life fully diminishes no one.

The Kindness Paradigm is a vision of life in which enthusiasm for the life one leads is of paramount importance and the importance of achieving one’s desires is understood and supported by all.
Envision every person who right now is living in poverty. Now imagine them achieving their dreams.
Imagine every person who right now is living in prison. Now imagine those men and women, younger, having had help in achieving their desires. Imagine them having the opportunity to achieve their desires now.
Think of yourself any time you’ve ever been depressed and feeling down. Were you down because you were filled with enthusiasm for the life you were living?
It is our birthright, nee birth obligation to pursue and explore our interests. We each are gifted at something. It is our duty to find that thing and live our lives in the thrill of doing that thing. Why? When was the last time you felt thrill? Guaranteed if you felt anything close to thrilled you were not feeling sick, depressed or gloomy. Nor could you have been angry about anything. These emotions are simply not compatible. One cannot feel both thrilled and angry or thrilled and depressed at the same time.
We are not planning terrorist attacks, shootings, murders or robberies when we are happy with the direction our lives are taking. So find your thing and pursue it. Help everyone around you find and pursue their thing. It will bring about the change we all seek in the world.
Life is about the pursuit of happiness. It is about finding happiness and that ‘it’ thing. Whatever ‘it’ is for you is where you will find your happiness.

The Kindness Paradigm is being developed to provide common understanding for all people so that we may move forward towards a clear goal, that goal being that every individual flourishes.

The Kindness Paradigm is a vision of life in which desirable ubiquitous qualities of life are
sought to be achieved for all through the development of kindness and the
subsequent natural consequences of kindness.

What are the motivating forces in your life? Do you know what you want? Are you sure that what you want is what you want and not what society has conditioned you to want?What would your life look like if happiness were the primary motivating force?
Just asking.

This quote of Vince Lombardi’s gets to the heart of The Kindness Paradigm:
Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. Vince Lombardi
It is wonderful when one person succeeds but to achieve world peace we must commit as a world group to helping everyone succeed. That is accomplished by providing education that supports the unique interests and talents of the individual and then by creating laws that support those same talents as they expand into sturdy, right-sized businesses. Why do I state such a thing? Because when a person pursues their unique interests they tend to be happy and happy people thrive. A world full of happy, thriving people is certainly a wonderful group effort to commit to.

Some visions of what the Kindness Paradigm looks like–
Walkable sized neighborhoods, sidewalks, lots and lots of community parks for people to play in. And people do play. Exercise is part of everyone’s day.
Fresh, wholesome food is affordable and easily available. Produce grows in every yard.
Laws support and encourage the sole proprietor business.
School, work and the grocer are all within walking distance.
Homes are solid. Lots of people have their business right in their home. Landscaping is creative and beautiful, satisfying the need for privacy, wildlife habitat and human food source.
Pets are welcome.
People have the gift of time. They play and socialize. The standard work week is closer to 30 hours than to 40. Break rooms are spacious with comfortable chairs to rest the body.
People have free time to pursue their interests which are easily translated into work options as small business is highly supported.
People have time to rest, play and take care of the daily needs of living thus they are healthier and happier needing less in the way of healthcare and sick leave.
Living in a paradigm of kindness our heart’s come alive.
For those of you for whom life is already wonderful my hopes for this idea of living in a paradigm of kindness is simply to open your heart to those whose life is not already wonderful and that you will uplift and gently nurture even the lowliest into their wholeness.
In many ways, it seems we’ve lost our expression of compassion and kindness. Last summer, a visitor on our street spilled a goodly amount of gasoline and it ran downhill into a neighbors drive. It was witnessed and by the witness’ account the spill surprised the man who spilled it…apparently he was expecting water to pour out not gasoline. This man drove away and the witness told the neighbor in whose drive the gasoline was spilled.
Several weeks later the spiller returned and the neighbor, spotting the vehicle, went out to speak to him. The man was quite surprised and rather embarrassed and his comment was, “I just didn’t know what to do so I left it.” He then volunteered to come try to clean it up.
He did come and make a good attempt to clean it up and the homeowner was satisfied with his effort even though the spill mark was still quite clear. The homeowner, who spent his career paving things knew the spill mark wouldn’t clean entirely. What he wanted was some acknowledgement that something had gone wrong and an attempt to right it.
Our society, it seems, has become so blaming and damning that a person is sometimes a little fearful to attempt to right a wrong and would rather run away than make an attempt.
In the Kindness Paradigm when a person discovers they’ve done something wrong or disharmonious, or created disharmony, there is a comfort level, an allowance for that person to do their best to correct it. There is compassion held for the committer.
Question: This question refers to the following post from January 8, 2014
“Forget about money. Forget about health. Forget about age. Do whatever it is you came here to do with what resources and abilities you do have.”
So you would recommend forget about looking for a job and just do what I feel I am meant to do with the time I have even though there seems to be no source of income from which to pay bills and such? In other words get in to the flow of the creative process and let everything else take care of itself?
Higgins: No, Friend, that is not what we are saying.
We ask you to look at yourself– your talents, your interests, your resources whatever they may be– and do the best you possibly can to represent your True Being with what you already have. Possibly, money and time are not resources you have. If there is no money to pay the bills and you must eat and live somewhere then you must solve that. We recommend solving it by following the path of least resistance. By that we mean take whatever job comes easily to hand whether or not it is your heart’s desire. This way you can pay the bills and eat. After that, in what time and with what resources you do have, do whatever it is you came here to do.
The reason we suggest taking whatever job comes easily to hand is that life is designed to be easy and smooth. While you are waiting for the perfect job your vibrational emission about work and paying bills is uncertain thus creating a goodly amount of uncertainty in your future thus inhibiting your ability to get into the flow of the creative process.
Rather than do that, we suggest taking a job to pay the bills thus settling your vibration surrounding money. Then use the data you collect about the job and your creative ability to align vibrationally with something you like better.

Question: Higgins, I am preparing your manual, Higgins’ Manual on Physical Existence, for publication. In the first chapter you state: Contrast is of great importance in your physical realm. In fact, your realm is all about contrast. It is in the contrast, it is in the bumping into experiences that you like and that you don’t like, that you define yourself. For you know most clearly who you are when you are certain who you are not.
What do you mean by who you are not? How do we know who we are not?
Higgins: Those things that feel bad to you and that you do not like are not you.
For example, if you look in the mirror and feel negative emotion about the extra weight you carry then the extra weight is not true about you and you will continue to feel negative about it until you change your habits to an extent that your body comes back into alignment with a weight and fitness level that feels more harmonious.
Another example, if you are having financial difficulty and are fearful about money then you know right away that financial difficulty is not the truth of you. It is an aberration and when you begin to think more positively about money, more positive emotions will follow. The Universe must provide for you a more positive, better feeling financial situation.
When you feel smug about your financial situation, or your weight or really anything, you are in your Truth. We do not encourage you to gloat, but smug is a great indicator of satisfaction and satisfaction is Truth and it is who you are.
