The spiral is complete

-

 Yesterday we got the spiral in the field finished for our oak grove with the help of wee betty cutting the grass also. 


Be keen to get a drone over it very soon to see how it looks from above. 

The entrance to the spiral is going to be through our heritage Irish orchard. In the future people can pick some fruit and walk around the spiral to the centre and then back again, checking out all the stories of the oak trees we have on the way.


This spiral is going to be a very important place of ritual for me.

I walked around it a few times yesterday chanting into myself Om Mani Padme Hum, breathing deeply, slowly and mindfully on the way. It really is a place of planting and chanting at its best!


Slowing my monkey mind is one of the most important things for me. So much stuff out there these days exaggerates the unsteady monkey mind. Also my past dodgy life has a big effect on my mind too. Living looking over my shoulder most of my life has not been good either. 

I've also been thinking a lot about why I'm still a real stickler for time, when people are late and it really winds me up. 

Its doing dodgy deals most of my life has me like this. When someone was late, it often meant the police got them or they got robbed or something. Even growing up around my delboy dad, when people were coming to buy his dodgy goods, he used to go mad about people being late for him. Often saying do you think I'm going to get caught with this stuff by the police due to your lateness. It used to really wind my dad up people being late.


I'm on a mission guys to bring my mind to a peaceful and content place. I don't believe this state of mind can be bought or bartered. Pills, herbs and other calming things may help but what happens if you cant get them? I know what happened to me in the past when I couldn't get my calming pills or herbs. I lost the plot -  I turned into a monster!!!

The same way we put so much effort into say running a marathon, building muscles or being able to drink 10 pints like a champion. This same effort and energy must go into understanding and calming our own mind and thoughts. Its our thoughts create all the highs and lows, pleasures and pains, happiness and suffering. Getting to grips with owning my own head is what I'm after. we let way too much rubbish live rent free in our minds.


Anyhow guys, we are going to measure out the length of the spiral and divide the distance by 37 and then plant the 37 ancient oaks acorns evenly along the spiral. We are then going to line the spiral with a holly hedge and right in the middle of the spiral will be an Irish yew tree.


I'm going to walk this spiral all the time from the outside in. chanting and visualising on the way of bring my mind back to its peaceful state. Its all a whirlwind of noise and BS out there having us all run around with our heads up our backside. And of course keeping us in the crazy states of mind we buy and consume more. 


Om mani padme hum guys. 


I challenge you to phantom plant a tree 


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 ...

Onlyfans definitely gets some attention!

 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...
