    Yes. What I have remembered is , that Maitreya seemed to appear as an old friend of mine in the dream, and said that he remembered how stoned I used to get in school . Which I thought was strange cos I didnt know him that long ago.

    Yes I have read you writing about your old friendship with Maitreya , on SN, and all that stuff has gone into my head

    Thats why Maitreya appeared in my dream, and wanted to visit you.
    By the way 20 is a cosmic number.

    I do believe Maitreya was enlightened, just going by some experiences I had that were apparently triggered by him

    I had a dream the other night that I was with Lokesh and we were visiting his mums house, which was a big old house in Scotland. Don’t ask me why cos I haven’t a clue.

    Yet he came back to the same theme in ”Communism and Zen Fire , Zen Wind” in 1989, where he again spoke of Capitalism, evolving in Communism, and ultimately Anarchism. Plus lots of meditation of course.
