In ''The Theosophical Glossary'', H. P. Blavatsky defines dweller on the threshold as “a term invented by Bulwer Lytton in ''Zanoni'';... ‘Dweller’ is an occult term used by students for long ages past, and refers to certain maleficent ''astral Doubles'' of defunct persons.” ''Astral Double'' refers to “the ethereal counterpart or shadow of man or animal.” | |||
