Staying zen!

-

  Me and wee betty worked away for most the day yesterday at the polytunnel grafting up apple trees. 

So nice being out in the country this time of year listening to the birds.

Love it in the polytunnel when its cold and the sun is out, its like stepping into the tropics.


I gotta call while I was grafting about a banking issue and I had to stop the lady on her tracks, I said to her I cant talk about that world right now, I'm in my Zen space doing my work for mother nature. We'll have to talk about this another time I said.

We'll I'm very sorry for disturbing your Zen space,  you call us back anytime she said. We all need to do our bit for nature I said and then goodbye.


Thats the delusion of the illusion in life right there. From I've started to have to register and make the Phantom Planter legit and above board I've had to deal with this kind of stuff again.


For the past 7 years or so I have been in this cabin living a life of penance. It was my girlfriend said this. I guess shes right though.

I have been living very much in austerity for the past 7 years and loving it too. Its great to live like this though, and not fall foul to the traps of the monopoly board. All its glitz and glamour - Toys and tinsel, drink and drugs, it's all sold to us by cunning sales people!

I became why too accustomed to these luxuries in the past only to have lost it all.


Now theres nothing can be taken from me if I throw a wrong dice on the monopoly board. With what Buddhism has brought to my mind even if they through me in jail I would look at that as the perfect opportunity to attain enlightenment. You really are living on alms in there!


I'm lucky if I get warm water at times here in my wee cabin and have to sleep with loads of layers on as there is holes all over my rotted cabin. I even sleep with gloves on at times for I wake up with my hands so stiff and sore I was thinking the damp was setting in. 

New cabin hopefully coming at the end of the month though so things are looking good. I'll not know myself!


Back to getting caught in the system again, I can really see how it can take you away and steal your inner Zen. So many mundane and headmelt situations you find yourself in, conforming to so much rules and regulations. Seems to me like its perfectly designed to keep us entangled masking the fact the Buddha light lies within us all. Its a real test to presence yourself in certain situations.

Buddhism for me really is the most beautiful form of anarchy, its like giving the fingers to the system in a peaceful way.


Anyhow Its going to take lots of practice for me to try and keep my zen and conform to the rat race rules and regulations again. But I got this, I'm going to do my best to look at every stressful situation as an opportunity for personal growth. Get to the ignition switch of all our stresses and worries. Its all good practicing the antidotes but wouldnt it be great to not even have to use an antidote.

To not have to try and be patient in crazy situations, you are just a humble observer. Like you are completely still on the inside.


These days if I'm standing in a que I look at it as an opportunity to connect and respect with other people and tell them to plant trees and give back to nature too. Every situation in life can be serendipitous. It all depends how we look at it.


I'm off here to do my morning workout routine then back up to plant up more apple trees. 140 approx done so far with a further 860 to go.


By hook or crook I'll get them done! 


Rise of the paramili-trees- UTPP up the phantom planters!


Please do support my mission guys. I'm building a worldwide phantom planting army!

  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...
