Dear Dallas
I have just found the source of The Angel of the Presence, it is in The Externalisation of the Hierarchy. Obviously, the lecture, which I took my notes from, was based on Alice A.Bailey.
What she also says, is what I find interesting and in line with, as below so above.
That the Angel of the Presence and the Dweller on the Threshold, in a Kosmic sense, is what is happening in the world at present. Good versus Evil.
1."Those Avatars Who are the embodiment of the Angel of the Presence, whether that Presence is the soul in man, the planetary Logos, some extra-planetary Entity, some Cosmic Being, or an Expression of Cosmic Good.
2. Those Avatars who are embodiments of the Dweller on the Threshold, whether that Dweller is the human Dweller on the Threshold, planetary Forces of Materialism, or some Aspect of Cosmic Evil"
The Angel of the Presence indicates divine possibility, reveals to the attentive disciple the next step towards liberation which must be made, and throws light upon the immediate stage of the Path to Light which must be trodden. So does the Avatar Who reveals the Lighted Way to humanity.
The Dweller on the Threshold summarises in itself the evil tendencies, the accumulated limitations and the sum total of the selfish habits and desires which are characteristic of the material nature of the disciple. The Angel of the Presence indicates the future possibility and he divine nature. So does the Avatar. The Dweller on the Threshold indicates the past with its limitations and evil habits. So do those Avatars. P.293
The spiritual and the material are in conflict, and humanity itself is the battleground.
