Congratulations, seniors. After a long 13-year voyage across a proverbial sea of knowledge, we have arrived, and are ready to leave port. We are now more mature, more learned, more worldly, due to the efforts of our teachers, parents, and friends that have taught us to navigate the educational waters. We have learned so much from Mountain View, and our futures seem as vast and as open as the sea. But that is just the surface underneath the passive waves is a turbulent mystery. We know nothing of our oceans in comparison to our knowledge of interstellar space, just as we know nothing of our lives in comparison to where we will be in our future. Our English teachers told us to scuba dive to find meaning in our essays. We must swim deeper as well to discover meaning in ourselves and our surroundings.

It is completely alright to not know. Every great person started right where we are here, unknowing of a solution in the distance. The great take steps in the right directions, carefully navigating the precipice of not knowing. But it is what they have accomplished in light of not knowing that made them truly great Edison, unknowing of the correct light bulb filament, unknowing that his pursuit of knowledge has lit our future; Truman, unknowing of whether or not the gamble of an atomic bomb could bring peace, unknowing that his decision has launched our world into a new reality of energy and dangers; currently, the men and women scouring the Indian Ocean, unknowing where a flight could have landed, unknowing of the possibility of success, but inspiring the world by persevering on. The world as a whole does not know much.

However, greatness is not defined by how much we know, but instead what we can do and discover. Author Eckhart Tolle once said that, being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you. Let us become comfortable with the uncomfortable fact that we actually dont know everything. But let us not be complacent and slide into ignorance. Let us achieve, let us dream, let us dive into the oceans of unknown for we arent simply defined by how much knowledge we have its what we do with our knowledge that can make us great. Using your past skill set is just as important as expanding it. Great explorers of the past have used their skill sets to seek out what they did not know, setting different sails for lands they did not know existed Columbus, though perhaps not the best example for character, or intelligence considering he died still believing Cuba was India, still pushed the boundaries of what he did not know, setting sail and setting foot on lands he did not know, discovering a new continent. Noah, building an ark and building a new life, leaving an old world to be torn down behind him for a future not yet known. Use the tools you know now to create new ships to seek what you will know in the future.

What we do is centered around the fact that we do not know the future, that we do not know ourselves. According to Gilda Radner, Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Life is about finding out what we do not know. It is about discovering new knowledge, pursuing mystery, continuously learning our education does not stop on the field, and our ship simply sails on, past the horizon learning is a never ending process that never quite touches upon land, not just limited to academic pursuits, but to living itself. There is no anchor that leaves us still, that says that we are finished. There is no finishing the problem that we dont know anything. But we can continue to pick away at what we do not know. We can move and learn throughout our lives. Though we will never know all, we can know more and more. We dont know anything. So then seniors What are we going to do about it?

Your mantra for the week:

Love is all that there is. Everything else is ego at work.

I forgive, I forgive. Now I can receive.

The Holy Scripture emphasizes that we must forgive 70 times seven, which really implies that many people try to forgive but never really do. They will often say, I will forgive but I will never forget, which, to me, is just saying they havent really forgiven. For it is only when you have ultimately forgotten that you have truly forgiven.

RAMON Orosa

The reason why Jesus used the analogy of forgiving 70 times seven is because he realized the tremendous difficulty of forgiving and forgetting.

In numerology, 70 times seven is equal to 490, and when rounded-off becomes 49 which stands for revolution in the I Ching, the Book of Changes. This means you can expect a major change for the better in your life.

If the word ego had existed in the ancient times, it would have clearly explained why we struggle so much in the process of forgiving I do not deserve this. After all, I have done for him/her why am I being treated this way? By what right do they have to do this who do they think they are! This shows how truly we are pained.

Eckhart Tolle uses the term Pain Body to describe the accumulation of our painful experiences from the time we were conceived to the present. He says it begins to take a life of its own, very much like what we call ego that constantly underscores our imperfections. This ego, a kind of false-self, usurps our so-called true self which is our perfect-self made in the image and likeness of God, and then tries with all its might to run our lives.

Can you believe 10 years have passed since Urs and Sara Baur started the Topanga Film Festival (TFF) with a projector, a handful of films, and a large white sheet tied up in the trees of their own back yard?

The great success of that first year has taken the TFF family on a truly wild ride. Honored as one of the 25 coolest film festivals in the world by Filmmaker Magazine, the open-air festival has come to reflect the international and eclectic taste of its community.

TFFs 10th Annual festival will be held July 17- 20 and will include premiers of documentary and feature films, a short film competition, a dance film showcase, industry panels, workshops, interactive installations, networking opportunities, awards, and parties.

Maestro Kim Allen Kluge, acclaimed conductor, composer and pianist, will perform with his wife, Kathryn, at Topangas Tuscali Mountain Inn.

The Kluges have recently moved to Topanga, drawn by the climate and natural beauty of Southern California. They are both cinephiles and have started to compose film music together at their Moon Valley Ranch Studio (Moonvalleyranchmusic.com). Recent film composing projects range from a commission from The National Gallery to working with acclaimed Hollywood director and producer, Barnet Bain, on a film adaptation of Eckhart Tolle's acclaimed book, Milton's Secret.

Musics unique power to affect positive change in the world is the theme that resonates throughout the Kluges work and permeates everything they do from Kathryn's piano teaching to their composing for cause-based films.

Construct: an idea containing various conceptual elements; typically one not based on empirical evidence.

We have so many constructs built around life: what success looks like, what love and happiness look like, how shot business works, etc. But what if we realized that those very constructs can also be part of the paradigm (and prison) that keeps us from actually enjoyingand livingthe lives we have now?

I guess its human nature. From an early age were painted pictures and spoon-fed images of what our future is supposed to look like. Once we get there everything weve been taught when were kids will be fulfilled, and well live happily ever after.

But what if those constructs are illusions? At one level, they can be positive because they keep us on target for creating goals and having a vision and pursuing our dreams.

But at another level, they can have a negative effect because they make us denigrate what we currently have in favor of some future thing. They make us compare and despair, and live our lives constantly chasing the construct rather than celebrating what is in our lives now. This can show up in life in the form of complaining, feeling depressed and hopeless and self-critical, to becoming cynical and jaded, and eventually just giving up.

Constructs can lull us into this anesthetized state of taking things for granted, so we end up ignoring what we do have in favor of constantly focusing on what we dont.

Life, however, can equalize those constructs. Battling a serious illness will do that, getting older, watching a parent decline, losing someone, witnessing tragedy. These life events generally shake us awake into living and fully celebrating our lives right now rather than waiting for some idealized future.

But why must it take these kinds of events to wake us up?

The art of acting is a great teacher of life, as it reminds us that in order to fully embrace each moment as it happens, we have to first be there to receive it. It works exactly like the mechanics of life itselfour constantly being distracted by the ideas of a moment or how to say a line or what we think a character looks like or how we want a scene to goputs us in our head trying to fulfill constructs that are never as good (or real) as the real thing. The work is to get out of our heads and live the moment.
