Hence the familiarity of the ‘keeper of the treasure’ in legends; almost invariably, this guardian is a griffin or dragon, or else a warrior endowed with superhuman powers. In temples, the idea of defence is implicit in the spatial organization and confirmed by the disposition of the walls, the doors and towers. In the Far East, the guardians are usually fabulous monsters. In Western countries, the same function may be performed by the figures inscribed on doorways. From the psychological point of view, guardians symbolize the forces gathered on the threshold of transition between different stages of evolution and spiritual progress or regression. The ‘guardian on the threshold’ must be overcome before Man can enter into the mastery of a higher realm.”[15]]…… “Still I recognize the signs.” [Principle: LT: MNT: AT: Do we?
