On Friday, November 5, the space shuttle Discovery was to have made its final mission. The launch was scrubbed, though, when engineers spotted a leak that allows dangerous levels of hydrogen gas to build up around the orbiter. It’s now scheduled for November 30.
However, take a look at this video. There may be other reasons for the mission being scrubbed. This video looks like it was taken of a TV screen, during the mission countdown. It’s intriguing.
Perception is in the eye of the beholder. Case in point: most people don’t see much similarity between Nigeria and the U.S., or the two men pictured above. Augustine Togonu-Bickerstet is the exception. Augustine has sent us numerous e-mails linking Nigerian figures with American ones. His latest takes a geographical twist in which he has found ‘some interesting developments’ between New York state and Oyo state. We’ll let you be the judge.
New York City in New York state is the largest city of the U.S. Ibadan City in Oyo state is the largest city in Nigeria.
New York City is the publishing capital of the US. and Ibadan the publishing capital of Nigeria.
In New York, there is a well known monument to Liberty-The Statue of Liberty. In Ibadan, there is also a well known monument to Liberty-The Liberty Stadium.
New York state and Oyo state have the best places for agricultural research of their respective countries. In New York, it is Cornell University in Ithaca and in Oyo state it is the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture(IITA).
New York City is the cultural capital of the U.S. Ibadan City used to be the cultural capital of Nigeria.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was governor of New York state and James Ajibola Ige was governor of Oyo state. Both of them served for four years.
Roosevelt became president of the United States and Ige was a presidential aspirant.
Franklin Roosevelt’s s father, James Roosevelt, invested in the railway business, while Bola Iges’s father, Solomom Ige, was a railway officer.
Roosevelt and Ige were both lawyers.
Rooosevelt and Ige have both been described as orators.
Roosevelt and Ige both died in office: Roosevelt as president, Ige as attorney general and minister of justice.
The governor’s office of New York is at Albany., and the governor’s office of Oyo state is at Agodi.

We might add to this list: Ibadan City, and elsewhere in Nigeria, is the home of the infamous Nigerian money scam, while NYC is the home of Wall Street, known for a few of its own scams, including taking large amounts of government bailout money and paying huge bonuses to corporate executives, who drove their companies into bankruptcy.
Even though this video has been on you tube for about a year, I first saw it on maggie’s secret garden a few days ago. There’s just something incredibly moving about friendships that develop between species.
Judi Hertling alerted us to this story.
By synchronicity standards, a Michigan couple have three unusual kids. Their first child, a girl, carried to full term, was born on 8/8/08.
Baby 2, a son, was unplanned. The doctors induced mom on September 8, but the boy waited until 9/9/09 to enter the world.
Baby 3, a girl was due on November 4, 2010, but labor was induced on October 9 and the girl waited until 10/10/10 to be born.
From a synchronicity view, these kids have a jump on the rest of us!
The original story is here.
Here’s a neat synchro from a neighbor,who has a son in college.It was a Saturday morning and he was driving to the bank with a $25 check to deposit into his son’s account. The check had been a b-day gift from his aunt, but Tom didn’t have any deposit slips at college. So the check ended up with Dad weeks after his son’s birthday.
It turned out the bank wasn’t open on Saturdays. So he headed back home thinking, as he’s driving, Why am I dealing with this $25 check? Why not something bigger, he thought. Why not dream? It should be a check for $250, or $2,500, or $25,000, or…$250,000. Why not?
A short time after he got home, he picked up the mail, and found a mysterious envelope from a lawyer in Denver. It was addressed to his son, but he figured he better open it. He did so warily, wondering if his son had somehow taken a trip to Denver without telling his parents and gotten into trouble. His eyes widened as he read through the letter and flipped through the other pages enclosed. He could hardly believe what he read. Tom had just inherited $25,000 from a third cousin, whom he’d met once when he was nine.
Wow! Magic. A $25 check turns into $25,000 with minutes. Synchronicity and the laws of attraction come through! Neighbor guy definitely wins the synchro jacket. A good example of getting what you focus on. Hm, let me try that.
Daz, who comments frequently here, left this synchronicity under a post with dozens of comments. We didn’t want it to get lost, so we’ve made it a separate post. There’s a synchronicity on our end, too, with this story.
“Farewell John. We’ll miss you.”
Here’s another story about synchronicities associated with 7 Secrets. It’s from Christine Hutton. She refers to Carol Bowman, author and past life researcher, in her story. We used Carol in our book and in several posts – here. The image is from a photograph in a local museum.

As a result of reading your book, my husband Steve and I have traveled to Philadelphia and went through regressions with Carol Bowman. It was a great experience in many ways and a pleasure to meet such an interesting woman and a past life pioneer.
Here are the synchronicities I experienced.
I was in the book store looking for books on hypnosis and or past life regression as I am interested in both and working on using them in my practice as a counselor. Your book, The Seven Secrets, jumped out at me. I say that because I seldom really pick the books anymore, they seem to pick me. As I began to read I saw the reference to Carol Bowman, past life researcher. That perked my interest. As I read the rest of the story I noticed synchronicities.
Carol tells of visiting in the Hudson Valley area. I had just been there taking a workshop with Brian Weiss on past life regression at Omega Institute. Carol made a comment to the woman she met in the grocery store that she would be teaching a class on past life workshop at Omega.
Carol’s sychronicity with this woman with reverences to Aries people in her life was also meaningful to me. Most of the important women in my life are Aries, mother, significant friends, daughter in law. I comment about it frequently, mostly to the Aries in my life.
While I was at the Omega Institute workshop on past life regression I had a synchronistic experience with someone I met there. We were asked to introduce ourselves and the woman a few seats from me stood up and said her name is Kris an she is from Mattappoisett, Mass., a very small town near the Cape. I was surprised; my name is Chris and I am originally from Mattappoisett.
In a group of 132 people from all over the world what are the chances I would meet someone named Chris from my same very small hometown. When it was my turn to introduce myself I acknowledged the similarity and I told her I was born in Wareham. Kris said, “I work there.” I said I lived on top of the hill on Acushnet Rd.. She said she drives by the house every day to and from work and she always admired the huge window that is one whole wall of the house. I told her my father built the house and the picture window was the focal point of the home. She told me she lives on Ryan’s way. I told her my son is named Ryan.
I’m sure we have other commonalities and just didn’t get time to acknowledge them in the short time we were together. Kris did join my husband, Steve and I for dinner in the little town we were staying in that evening and as she and I did some shopping together I surely felt a ‘comfortableness’ with her, like an old friend you haven’t seen for a long time and you meet again and pick up right where you left off. Personally I feel there was probably a previously shared life time.
Carol also went to a Brian Weiss conference to meet and network with people in the field. I was hoping to do the same thing at his Omega workshop.
I also returned to grad school and received a masters degree in counseling.
Our husband’s are both named Steve.
Carol’s house number is 145. My house number was 145 for many years when our family lived in New York.
Upon returning home from Philadelphia after meeting with Carol, Sunday morning at breakfast, Steve was channel surfing the TV and found a show on the Chiller channel of all places, called, I think, Supernatural. The show was on past life regression and the work of Roger Woolger and Steve knew I would be interested.
As we watched I commented, “Gee Carol Bowman should be on this show.” A few minutes later, I recognized the image of Carol’s home and as the camera came closer to the porch there was Carol sitting on her swing.
One funny last comment. I read the part of the book telling about Carol having to find work, applying to Scott Paper and and commenting they wouldn’t even hire her to sell toilet paper. We have a joke around our house about Scott toilet paper. My now 86 year old mother, when I was growing up, bought Scott toilet paper because it was cheaper and it’s cheaper for a reason; Its terrible toilet paper!!, if you know what I mean! One day several months ago my husband came home from Sam’s Club with an enormous bundle of Scott toilet paper, thinking he had made a great purchase!!! My husband was unaware but my mother and I had a good laugh over his selection. I’m glad Carol was not hired to sell their awful paper and looking back she probably is too!!!
I hope this email is understandable. I’m finding that writing about synchronicities is harder than experiencing them. Also, because synchros are many times small and meaningful mostly for the experiencer I feel a bit sheepish relating them to others.
MSNBC just announced their prediction that the Republicans have won the house. Now Obama and his administration have go to come out swinging. Forget bipartisanship.
Now we can look forward to Orange Man as Speaker of the House. Will it be a red senate, too, with extremists like Rand Paul, Marco Rubio…. Tea Party people. What fun, huh?
May democracy rise once again, like the phoenix, from its ashes.
In Burma, a white elephant was captured, a rare event that the government-controlled media touted as a positive omen for their fall election, the first balloting in ten years since the military take-over.Peace and prosperity will reign, the Burmese media spouted.
We’re not sure what the staid U.S. Republican party thinks of animal omens, but they might like this one, the elephant being the party’s symbol. It’s also interesting that it was a white elephant, since the party is dominated by white men.
According to Wikipedia, a white elephant is an idiom for a valuable possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth. That sounds like the GOP’s problem with the Tea Party. Drink your tea, Repugs!
On October 13, the same date as the daytime sightings in Manhattan, a UFO was supposedly reported over the Qinling Mountains in China. Then a short video surfaced. Then a denial by the China government. The government said it was a rumor that got started by a blogger, a hoax. One site noted there’s a nuclear facility in the area and speculated that perhaps the facility had melted down. No telling what actually happened. But here’s a video and some links aft the video. Note that on the video, a date is wrong – June 10, but this happened Oct 13.Not sure what to make of this, except that it’s a good case for Scully and Muldur!
