Ok so I had MANY failed attempts of putting these three diagrams when trying to define it. I found it only fit one way. Not only is it more basic (better), but also portrays a person in the shadow of a pyramid. Enjoy!
Your image goes some way to illustrate this piece about The Dweller on the Threshold
(3) The Dweller on the Threshold, always present, swings however into activity only on the Path of Discipleship, when the aspirant becomes occultly aware of himself, of the conditions induced within him as a result of his interior illusion, his astral glamour, and the maya surrounding his entire life. Being now an integrated personality (and no one is disciple, my brother, unless he is mental as well as emotional, which is a point the devotee oft forgets) these three conditions (with the preponderance of the effect in one or other of the bodies) are seen as a whole, and to this whole the term "Dweller on the Threshold" is applied. It is in reality a vitalised thoughtform - embodying mental force, astral force and vital energy. (10 - 27).
(4) The Dweller on the Threshold does not emerge out of the fog of illusion and glamour, until the disciple is nearing the Gates of Life. Only when he can catch dim glimpses of the Portal of Initiation and an occasional flash of light from the Angel of the Presence, Who stands waiting beside that door, can he come to grips with the principle of duality, which is embodied for him in the Dweller and the Angel. ... As yet, my words embody for you symbolically a future condition and event. The day will surely come, [Page 96] however, when you will stand in full awareness between these symbols of the pairs of opposites, with the Angel on the right and the Dweller on the left. May strength then be given to you to drive straight forward between these two opponents, who have for long ages waged warfare in the field of your life, and so may you enter into the Presence where the two are seen as one, and naught is known but life and deity.
