"Dweller on the Threshold" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and first released on his 1982 album Beautiful Vision.

[1] The lyrics on this song and part of "Aryan Mist" were inspired by the 1950 publication Glamour —A World Problem by Alice Bailey and the Tibetan master Djwal Khul, as described in Van Morrison's liner notes for the album.

[2][3] According to the teachings of Bailey, there are a series of what she calls "glamours" which are mental illusions creating a fog that veils the spiritual wanderer from seeing the world as it truly is.

He becomes illuminated as a "dweller on the threshold" when the "Angel of Presence" purifies the soul with light.

It is one of the songs remastered and included on Morrison's third compilation album for 2007, Still on Top - The Greatest Hits.
