Physical friends (people I know in physical sphere, instead of in internet sphere) not "in real life" which is kind of a silly term to begin with.
Talking about them, comparing notes on real life behavior VS states boddhisatva behavior, weeding out liars, corraborating with outside sources, you know, how people usually try to identify people around them.
I suppose you could say my overall identification of people in general is faulty, but that would be a larger topic and not sure if its related to here.
Boddhisatvas almost never talk of it directly, and most dont even know what a boddishatva is until presented with a list of features and go "oh, that fits me" but once they get it they "switch" to a bodisatva mode where they talk of their bodhisatva self in the first person.
Kind of like I were to talk with you and say "oh, i think your soul might be from venus" and you go "yeah, if you create it so that I was in venus then its possible I was in venus".
Anyway, It seems that roughly 25-45% of the people I meet are either bodhis, close to it, or buddhas. BUT that maybe my perceptual bias due to heavy proximity to new age / hippie / spiritual / advancing as a principle / growth oriented people.
Anyway, I consider it interesting how common folks like these are these days when about 1/4th or around in my social sphere are those to the level where they can do reality bending magic with me if I want. It's just funny is what it is.
I'm mostly curious as to how many in general know of or talk with openly to people who claim or are bodhisatvas, and if you do talk with them in person openly, then how many of them are always in the same mindset and never or almost never lie and are doing remarkably well in their life and have massive social pull in their own way.
