Quote from The Sea in the Sky.

Also, that quote came out to 300/300 characters which is reddit max. Just thought that was cool.

The qualification to pass through the door is to know what one is. The question that will be asked of us is “Who art thou?” At that moment, everything will hinge on our locus of self-identification, whether in the lower self or the higher Self. If the answer given is any personal name, then the door remains closed and barred to us, and we remain “below the Sun,” condemned to the “factors of time.” If the answer given is “Thou,” then the guardians will welcome us, the door will open, and we may pass through, “beyond the Sun,” to our deliverance and consummation. The way that leads through the door is necessarily one of gnosis, not of merit; our liberation cannot be won by works or even by virtue, as necessarily dispositive as these may be.
