Theos-Talk Archives (August 1996 Message tl00070)

Dear Liesel,

My 2 cents' worth agrees with you.  I would perhaps go so far as to say
that the group soul of humans follows pretty much the same pattern as
any other group soul.  One of its components however, seems to be the
wish to believe that the human group soul is superior.

Cats are very special, and as individual as we are.  They are different
from us, sure, but they also know how to manipulate us .....

Many years ago I "met" the cat goddess Bast (Egyptian).  She appeared as
ENORMOUS.  Then I understood why the ancient Egyptians made the statues
so huge!

(If anyone wants me to tell the story, forget it, unless they really
want to know what I experienced - period. And private e-mail only.)
