Nexus Points

Listen to this Blog Post:

A personal timeline is a representation of significant events and phases in your life, including nexus points, transitions, and periods of growth.

Each person’s timeline is unique, reflecting their own individual experiences and choices,

“Time” is a defined as “an indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.”

“The only reason for time to exist is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

Albert Einstein

From a spiritual perspective, personal timelines are often viewed as spiral, multidimensional, paths and not linear paths.

A nexus point is defined as “a point on your personal timeline that is a critical moment in your life where a specific event, unique set of circumstances or a person has a significant and profound impact on your life moving forward based on the choices you may make.”

A nexus point is so pivotal on your personal timeline, an energy line, that it becomes an entry point for a large number of possible choices and possible outcomes in your life. 

Examples of personal nexus points include meeting your significant other, a marriage, a birth, moving to a new city, graduating from college, starting a new career, being promoted to a new position, etc.

Historical nexus points include, for example, the creation of the first microprocessors in the 1970’s which were used in the first personal computers, personal calculators, personal digital assistants, the equipment for the Internet, cell phones, smart phones, electronic tablets, and many other types of microprocessors based technologies.

A nexus point represents a large number of the most probable and best choices you can make from a magical energetic ocean of infinite possibilities available to you.

Scientific researchers consider nexus points as points that cause a branch in the timeline of a person leading to the creation of multiple different possible timelines from that point.

Researchers Ron Scollon and Suzie Wong Scollon have analyzed the concept of nexus points.  Their nexus analysis methodology includes three components: (1) engaging the nexus point; (2) navigating the nexus point, and (3) analyzing changes occurring because of the nexus point, with respect to social issues.

The Scollon’s assert that when a nexus point occurs in your life, you cannot be passive observer since your presence at a nexus point entangles you and engages you in the nexus point.  Once engaged, you navigate the nexus point as you examine the most probable and best choices you can make at the nexus point.  Then you analyze changes in your life, the unique events, personal changes, personal growth and significant life transitions available to you at the nexus point.
