Rise of the Paramili-Trees
My main phantom planters facebook page has grown by 8k followers in a few days and by 3k followers from yesterday.
Not sure whats going on, my page seemed to have stopped at 120k followers for around a year and now its just went boom! Facebook must have taken a liken to me again.
Its so good to see as the more of us out phantom planting trees the better our world will be and the better we will be too.
For me I think its so important we all plant trees and connect to nature as individuals.
It was phantom planting an apple tree around 11 years ago by the side of the road in Belfast that changed the way I think about life. When I planted this tree I was in the depths of darkness. Things couldn't have been any worse for me back then. But me and a mate thought we would plant some apple trees in our local areas just for a bit of fun.
We had no idea what we were doing, never planted a tree in our lives before. All we knew was to plant it the right way up and water it.
This one tree really took off though, first year we all went back and had apples from it. After a couple of years we counted hundreds of apples we got from it.
Then there was times I would be up to my neck in all sorts underworld madness stressed to the max, I would have drove past this tree at times and it was just sitting there chilling, growing away breathing in state of meditation, this is how I was seeing it. Every year it just give out apples in abundance as offerings for all life.
I was locked in severe greed and self gratification back then and just watching this tree do its thing made me want to be like the tree. I watched others over the years pick apple from it and it give me a buzz inside like no line of coke or drug ever did. When I seen birds peck into an apple, I thought to myself you have that one on me mate! It made me feel so good
One time I found a bag under it with ID and I brought it to the house.
A lady answered the door and I said I think this bag belongs to someone in this house. The lady said thats my sons bag and I bet you found it down near that apple tree, he is never away from that tree for some reason. I didnt mention I planted it but I went away with an inspiring and uplifting motivation to want to plant more trees.
I believe trees are much more spiritual than we will ever know. For me they are like antennas of magic, hard wired into the earth, reaching high in the sky connecting to things that our consciousness has not evolved yet to understand.
I dont talk anymore of the magical things that happen to me around trees. One day though I'll put it all in a kids story book.
For now I'll just carry on planting and chanting and challenging you to do the same.
Peace and love
The Phantom Planter
