One year on

-

 One of the pics is the way I was living this day last year and the other is from this morning as I sit here writing this drinking my coffee.

As you can see wee betty is loving our new home just as much as I do.


For years in my old cabin I sat on a kids school chair and used a blue barrel as my table to eat my meals off, trying to contain it in the smallest room possible to keep it warm as there was holes all over the cabin.


That old cabin taught me a lot about the mind, that its not our conditions that make us happy, its our state of mind. I was forced into that cabin through bankruptcy and homelessness and for the first while it was painful. Coming from a very rich life in the business world and underworld I was used to the finer things in life more so than most.

Through some planting and chanting and putting into practice the Buddhas teachings I elevated my mind so much that I begun to love the old rotted cabin. I found something within me thats not out there in the rat race or monopoly board.


Empty your boat and it will go faster the Buddha says. A metaphor for the spiritual path,


We always think we need this next thing to make us happy. Mine was money all my life.

17 years old I craved a ten grand bundle just like my dad had loads of them. Got that, then it was a 50k bundle, got that and it was 100k! 

Then it just never ended until one day I had gangsters coming at me from everywhere looking what I had.

I never went bankrupt in the past due to poor business acumen. My businesses were all flourishing. My underworld activities over the years came back to bite me and I was forced to close everything for fear of my own life and my familys life. 

I then went into a negative downward spiral of cocaine, casinos and hookers for many years and blew every penny I had.


Then I found myself in this old rotted cabin with my mind so dark it was my worst nightmare. 


What did I have to loose in not practicing a bit of planting and chanting is what I told myself. 

So I bought trees and randomly planted them as nature offerings and chanted Om mani padme hum. 


Definitely seemed to have worked when I look back over my life. 


I challenge you to some planting and chanting 


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...
