Part 2 - You That Dwell Therein

The original Dweller documentary introduced viewers to the mysterious concept known as the Dweller on the Threshold. In this Director's Cut, we go much deeper.
After my experience at Stimson Hospital, I stumbled across an extraordinary article by researcher and writer Ronnie Pontiac that helped me understand the long history of the Dweller on the Threshold, and how its various interpretations have morphed and evolved over time. That discovery led to one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever conducted.
This episode presents an extended cut of my conversation with Ronnie as we trace the Dweller from its literary origins in Zanoni through the writings of Helena Blavatsky, Annie Besant, and even Manly P. Hall, who personally mentored Ronnie. Along the way, we explore how the concept has evolved over nearly two centuries, from a supernatural guardian (literal entity) to a profoundly personal metaphor for transformation (archetype).

The deeper I researched the Dweller, the less interested I became in asking what it was... and the more compelled I became to ask why this archetype is happening.
