The meeting, showed that things are un-changed. Bevan is busy all around the world still trying to preserve the way things are done. He gave a powerpoint travelogue to that effect. At the start of the meeting Craig Pearson recounted the lead up to Jim Carrey doing the commencement speech. Craig related how thoroughly Jim Carrey thought about and prepared for the commencement. That part was real interesting on how Jim Carrey went about it and worked with people. Craig recounted a fun narrative about all that. Otherwise Craig mostly sat by in the meeting attending to Bevan. Seeing as this was billed as a special community meeting with Craig Pearson and Bevan both and was following the recent annual gathering of the Board of Trustees at the time of the university commencement one faith in going to the meeting was that this was going to be the time that Bevan was going to announce his going Emeritus from the MUM Presidency and let Craig have that title and do that job for a while as a strategic part in the progress and succession of things here with the University and meditating community. That was not to be the case. Bevan holds tight to the Presidency. Generally it was a nice meeting that anyone could have attended and been interested by. Nothing was said that anybody should not have heard. It did not necessarily need to be a 'badge only' event. Any person coming in would have been re-affirmed and interested in the scope of the meeting. However, it was not an open meeting and was kept special that way evidently by a choice. -Buck LEnglish5 writes: I ask again: what was this all about?
