Bashar from "Canoga Park" 25-9-98 Q : Was the Sphinx originally a cat? B : It embodies catness and humanity. It is itself a symbol of the link... Q : But the Sphinx itself -- the face has been changed so many times and redone... B : Nevertheless it is still the idea of the connection of two forms of consciousness to form a third. Q : That was it's original design? B : In a sense, yes. Not that it was "a cat", you understand. It was always a blend and a combination, but not always of what you would recognize as a human face. Nevertheless, it has always been the symbol of the bridge and the link between Earth and the stars.
