I've been promoted!

-

 Still in Kent here working away at my brothers new house,  I've been promoted from chiseling plaster of walls to a roof fixer, dont think he realized how good I actually am with my hands! ( only joking btw but I will have a go)! 


Using our hands in building things is a skill we all need to know more of, I was at this Quaker meeting before and people get up and make random statements after sitting in meditation for an hour, they say that who ever stands up and speaks after sitting in stillness that it will be the divine speaking through them.


I totally get what they mean, as in Buddhism they say meditation connects you back to the source.


I've read about the Quakers and they are really aligned with my beliefs, so close to Buddhism, a beautiful form of christianity if you ask me, Christianity in action is how I seen them. 


But this man got up and spoke after meditation and said we all need to be careful how we are using our time in education, that when we look at how many jobs that AI are going to replace we need to stop wasting our time and our youths time in learning about careers that will be taken over by AI, we already know what jobs are going to be taken over and so many are still doing degrees and wasting time on stuff when they will be not needed. 


This man made a lot of sense to me, or was this a message from the divine? 


Being more self sufficient and self reliant is the way to go in todays world. 


I've got a day off today btw so I'm going to see potentially the largest oak tree in the world!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
