Inner peace is bliss!

 Next month will mark 4 years from I started the phantom planter and it will also mark 5 years from I gave up the booze!


It's in black and white right there - 1 year escaping the demon drink and look what was created

 "The Phantom Planter"!


It's amazing the things we give our energy, money and attention too with the end outcome being a complete head melt - passing pleasures and self gratifications that we pay a fortune for and soon we become they're slaves!


Is it really all that good anyway or are we just made to believe it is, all manufactured and subconsciously sold to us everywhere we go having us all run around like headless chickens!


I've noticed massive changes in my personalty and life in general from I gave up the soul pollutants and found the Buddha path.


Like the other day I thought this guy was going to wrestle me for blocking his driveway as I was doing a delivery, 

He came out all guns blazing shouting all over the street,

I said to him, relax man, my apologies,  my days of wrestling sweaty men are well over, I'll move my van right now, he never knew where to look!


Because I felt at peace within me I was able to diffuse the situation very easily, where as 10 years ago when I was right in the middle of the rat race infused with all sorts of stimulants, pills and poisons who knows what would have happened, I could have ended up wrestling the big sweaty man and I'd of probably let him bother me the rest of the day too giving him free rent in my head.


But when we are more at peace with ourselves exterior situations that are just mundane really, they just fly over your head.


So many people let so many little things annoy them in day to day life, looking back at how I was it was me that was annoyed, I was annoyed with myself...

  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"..
