continuing from my previous post, I decided to venture to the MacGregor's post in question, http://blog.synchrosecrets.com/?p=230.
What the heck, I might as well copy and post it here, knowing the MacGregor's propensity for censoring anything that has to do with the inner twin world... and of couse me for that matter, especially considering that they neglected to continue their censorship campaign in the comments section where I have a presence: commenting under Toumai. Note as well, the date of the post, August 31st, Megan's birthday!!
Swallows, Skydiving, and 2s
August 31, 2009
UPDATE: Megan corrected us. She said there were only 2 tandem jumpers.
On August 19, we moved Megan back to college on the other side of Florida. There’s a stretch of highway where there’s nothing but sugar cane fields covering land that once was part of the Everglades. Along this stretch, hundreds of swallows sweep across the terrain, nabbing insects on the fly, swooping across the two-lane road. They’re especially thick around dusk and seem oblivious to cars.
So on the way back, around dusk, we entered this stretch. The swallows swooped and dived (literally ‘sky-dived’), often winging away from our car at the last second. Then two of them, one after another, hit our windshield. At some deep level, I sensed it might be an omen.
On August 30, 11 days after we moved her back to college, we met her halfways across the state for her second skydive, for her 20th birthday. Her appointment was for 12:30, but they didn’t get airborne until around 2 PM. She was jumping tandem, with an instructor.
Are we seeing a pattern here? 2nd dive, 20th birthday, 2 swallows, a tandemn jump at 2 PM. The tandem jumpers leave the plane last and there were three of them. We were standing outside, watching the jumpers with four of Megan’s friends. And suddenly, something happened to Megan’s parachute. It seemed to just… well, fly away.
An instructor standing next to me said, “Wow, look at that.”
“What just happened?” I asked.
“The first chute failed. Don’t worry. They’ll freefall for a few seconds, then the second chute will open.”
And that’s exactly what happened. They landed safely and afterward Megan said she didn’t realize anything unusual had happened.
Later, another skydiver said it’s an unusual occurrence. It didn’t happen for him until his 1,200th dive.
So an event 11 days ago (there’s another 2!) related to Megan’s skydive. An unnerving synchronicity.
Today, 8/31, is her actual birthday! So happy birthday, Megger!

Toumai says:September 1, 2009 at 2:21 pmIt really gets interesting when you realize that the original calendar was 10 months. Two months were added (I believe January and February).
So why didn't Augustus and Julius take over those months or any other month for that matter,why Quintilis and Sextilis?!! I think it's because they want to erase something.

I'm still alive today because I often hear about the almost-died-scenarios after the fact. Then I can just give hugs and celebrate what didn't happen. It's better that way.
whipwarrior – like your dad's wisdom!
We'll pass on the Indy antics!
That is a strange omen. I am so glad she landed safely!
A couple years ago, at a church retreat, a few of us were admiring the view of the Puget Sound from the window of the main building on the island. All of a sudden a bird thumped into the window. One lady kept saying that it was a bad omen, which was the first time I heard such a thing.
I don't recall anything bad happening that weekend, though. So maybe just a superstition?

ok, parents, that must have been more than just a little disconcerting!!!
hmmm…my mind wanders to the birds and their being omens – even messengers of the gods? weren't "winged" sandals a symbol of hermes? and he protected travelers? sorry – sometimes my mind wanders in weird ways – but i kept having a visual image of the birds and hermes jumped into mind –
very interesting that megan was unaware of the happenings! a good thing!
