Still your mind

-

  Stilling our minds has to be the most needed things in the world today. 

The mind is a muscle, when we train it well we have better control over our thoughts. 

Nothing brings more suffering than an untrained mind and nothing brings more happiness than a well trained mind. 


Playing the monopoly board for too long and not recognizing my ego over the years disturbed my mind big time!!


A big part of my life practice is stilling my monkey mind. Not easy at times, for the mind goes where it wants and does what it wants. 


I truly believe though that there is a tranquil place within us all where we can go too and getting caught with the BS of the world at times is just taking us further and further away from this place of peace which lies within. 


First time I ever sat and meditated I saw that I was not running the show within my mind. My thoughts were being controlled by others. The wee man down the road that didn't pay his bill last week, making me think hate and revenge. Or the guy that befriended me and then set me up for robbery. I wanted to track him down big time!!

So much we let live in our heads and its causing us suffering. Holding on too these types of negative thought patterns is poison. It was only because I couldnt control my own mind that it was tearing me up inside. 


Still your mind, still your world. 


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 ...

 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...
