Compassion for the haters.

-

 Read a quote before and it was something like this, 


"The thing about people who despise you is they seem to watch everything you do"...


Most of my posts I put out I try and read all the comments when I get time. Just think its the right thing to try and engage with your supporters. 


But what I have noticed is many of the negative comments I've been receiving lately is from people I've never seen comment before and many of them seemed to know so much about me. Probably sitting reading every post every day waiting for that moment until I put a foot wrong and then it's time for them to strike. 


One thing I want to say is I'm not a Buddhist, I practice Buddhism. For me there is a difference. Over the years I've tried my best to implement the Buddhas teachings into my life daily and with lots of self analysis and looking within, watching my own thoughts and emotions I'm far from a Buddhist. But I tell you something, I've came along way from the old me. But I am far from perfect. 

The thing about Buddhism is you cant fool yourself. I still have anger and temper issues and  negative thought patterns. 

But not half as bad as before though. 

I remember once I had a troll in one of my businesses many years ago and they never stopped trolling my posts. 

I used some of my underworld tactics and tracked this guy down. I Was going to get him bad, I was angry with them. When I managed to get him I couldn't believe it. He was like master blaster without the helmet on in the film mad max. 


I felt so sorry for him, said a few words and on I went. I realised something, being a mouthpiece on here is like that child sitting in the car with his mummy and daddy giving you the fingers. Then when you see them in the street they are running away. 


I just have it in my head now that all trolls are like master blaster and try and have compassion for them. Your not always going to say all the right things on here and I'm certainly not out to be a people pleaser either. 


Many people saying you are going to loose followers over my recent posts. 

Look guys this is a virtual world. Whether I have 100 followers or 100k. It really will not effect my life in the slightest, the real world will not change for me at all. 

All my friends and loves ones will still be there and I will still keep on planting and chanting. 


Maybe lots of us need to remember this. I've seen many on here that they're mood in the real world is determined by how many likes they get on here. 


Take time out guys to go and connect to nature. Plant a tree or do something positive and constructive. 


I have about 20 oak trees that need phantom planting this weekend and I'm planting these for all the haters. These ones will be for you guys. Thoughts of compassion will be directed towards yous when I'm planting these. Feelings are temporary and impermanent. 


Peace and love...

  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 ...

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
