Dear Ones,
The below references to Djwhal Khul through Alice Bailey’s work have to do with ‘the dweller on the threshold’.
Video: “Alice A Bailey; ‘The Dweller on the Threshold'” by Jayson Wiggins, Published on Feb 18, 2014: This video is on youtube, but Google has blocked it, perhaps because of copyright infringement; you will have to look up the link on your own.
Link: “Dweller on the Threshold,” in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dweller_on_the_threshold … the section “Esoteric framework”
Link: “The Dweller on the Threshold: Summary: A Collection of the Statements of the Tibetan,” http://www.esoteric-philosophy.net/dweller.html ..
Link: “The Books of Alice Bailey: Rays and the Initiations,” https://www.lucistrust.org/online_books/rays_and_the_initiations_obooks ..
The overall message is, when we meet the dweller on the threshold, as part of our spiritual evolution, we must choose between the dark and the light, the shadow of our personality and Spirit.
This is a very difficult test for Spirit. My own feeling about it is: OVERCOME it, or BECOME it! The choice is ours!
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
