Though not a formal characteristic of God's advanced teachers, kindness is nonetheless something we would attribute to anyone who has traveled far on the journey home. True kindness--applied to all people without exception--is impossible as long as our primary identification is with the ego's thought system of separation and differences. Therefore, the focus of this program is on the importance of recognizing that the source of kindness is the mind, not the body, which is the embodiment of the ego. Asking Jesus' help to be kind, we recognize that everyone who walks this earth fights the same hard battle of dealing with the ego and its thought system of separation and guilt, specialness and attack. By recognizing the oneness of God's Son as a split mind, we undo the barriers of specialness that prevent us from remembering our oneness as Christ, and that "Kindness created us kind."
