The Phantom Planter

 Good morning guys Next week I'm planning on making a start at planting up the 400 heritage Irish apple trees we have. A couple of hundred of them are going into our Lisnabreeny community orchard and the other 200 I have plans to phantom plant them all around the country on my travels.  Really hate giving this the hard sell here guys, but I can see how many community projects fall apart due to lack of funding. This year I just want to finish the Lisnabreeny orchard and fill up some spots I have in mind for phantom planting. Next year though I dont think I will be as ambitious with my phantom planting plans. I would end up skint!!!  400 heritage Irish apple trees is easily worth £8000. Thats a lot of money I could do with. This year though I'm sticking to my word in giving all these for the benefits of nature and community.  We are making a big contribution here guys. If you can help us in anyway please do on the methods below.  https://gofund.me/bd1af3d6b https:...

 Do people on here seriously get upset from negative commenters on a post?  I knew one person before who's whole day was controlled by how well they're post did. If it didn't get many likes they were in such a bad mood and if negative comments came their world was falling apart and they were a horrible person to be around!  Many people are sending me messages of sympathy and support with my recent meat eating posts and having the militant vegan brigade on my case.  Thanks for the messages guys but to be honest it doesn't annoy me at all. This place is not my reality. I'm not going to loose any sleep from some negative comments.  Really though,  I never read my comments much and if I do see a negatives I just give them a hug. I also give the nice comments a hug too. I do prefer to engage with positive people more too. I mean if some weirdo starts giving off to you in the street are you going to debate with them!  What our we letting happen to our minds ...

 Today is Bodhi Day for some Buddhists. Its the day Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment to become The Buddha, meaning enlightened one.  Whats really strange is 30 days ago I challenged myself and you men out there to 30 days semen retention. The 30 days is up on Bodhi Day!  Something similar happened like this before with me a few years ago. I challenged myself to 100 days celibacy and I had planned to go to Newgrange and the Hill of Tara to celebrate the winter Solstice.  That day at the top of the Hill of Tara which is said to be the place where the ancient kings of Ireland were crowned and Druids ordained, a Zen Lay monk said he was guided to me that day at the top of the Hill of Tara with a message and a gift. The message he passed me I still live by today.  When I got back home that day I counted my calender to see when the 100 days celibacy was up,  the 100th day was the winter Solstice!!! I didn't plan any of my celibacy practices to end at the...

 My post yesterday about eating culled deer got a lot of attention.  For years now I have been consciously looking into the best diet for me and the environment.  Many vegans have been horrified at me putting this out there. Sorry if this upset you guys. But really if you looked into the production of your own diet you'll be horrified at what goes on.  I've given my diet so much thought and energy over the years. I have discussed this with Quakers, Buddhists, Hindus and lots of other spiritual people who I respect the opinions of. I've investigated the Karmic repercussions of the way I eat meat and to be honest it sits well with me.  I'm not hear to convince anyone that my way of eating is the right way but I know its the right way for me.  My diet has come about through much effort and investigations. Its not a diet thats been sold to me through fear or other cunning sales and marketing tactics.  I do hope my genuine vegan supporters on here respect t...

 Keep getting messages from vegans saying I should be vegan. Vegans do know that in all plant based farm produced foods sentient beings are killed. Unless your foraging for your foods then thats ok.  But if your buying any type of plant based or processed foods from the shops animals and many other living creatures have been slaughtered to produce these. There has been a never ending war against rabbits for years in all vegetable production. Famers have been poisoning, trapping and killing rabbits for years to keep the off their carrots and spuds. In all wheat produce they spray the crops with zinc phosphide to poison mice and if this doesn't kill them I watched a video before of all the shredded mice left behind after the carbine harvester goes over the field. For any farmed food to be produced nature is being slaughtered, ploughing the land for a start before planting rips into the earth killing worms and vital mycelium networks. After this they spray the land with glyphosat...

 It was this day 6 years ago I did my first ever phantom planter post! These are the pics and this is what the post read- "5 native oak trees phantom planted in a field near you. Cost me £7.50 and will provide us with that very handy stuff called air for the next 900 years or so. Phantom Plant, Guerilla Plant, what ever way you want, lets make it a trend to plant trees. I Challenge You to Phantom Plant a Tree!".... That was my first ever post guys and I planted these trees on the way to Jampa Ling Buddhist Monastery to get The Phantom Planter blessed by the monks before I put my first post out. The first post I wrote after the blessing at the monastery. Since then guys its went to places I never dreamt off. People have been taking up this challenge and phantom planting trees in all corners of the world. The power of faith and belief with a bit of Buddha magic I believe! Its been the best 6 years of my life! Alongside my phantom planting my own healing and spiritual journey ha...
