Memorium to Ed Kesgen

We are saddened with the loss of Dr. Ed Kesgen. All of us who have ever heard him or read his words were forever changed    by his wonderful way of seeing the world and the human spirit. The following was taken from his blog written by his family:
Ed believed his purpose in life was to elevate the human spirit. In his words, Ed sought to “ease the burden of those in    physical, mental or spiritual disharmony by helping them to encounter the magic and wonder of their being.”
Ed also believed in a shared purpose for us all: “The reason you have taken birth on this planet is to be happy – to love and    learn from loving relationships.”
Those of us still here in Earth School will miss you Ed. Thank you for your words of wisdom and actions of peace.
