Suddenly Logan stops abruptly. From out of nowhere a diminutive, white bearded man appears, carrying a large staff.
Logan is so startled that he veers back off the path and falls over the edge of a dangerously steep cliff.
He luckily grasps onto the edge of the cliff, with his bandaged hands and holds on for dear life. His struggle to hold on is intense. He fears that if he loses his grip he may not survive the fall.
Who are you? the white bearded man asks.
Im Logan, he gasps while trembling.
No, who are you really? the man insists.
Alright, then if Im not Logan, then who am I? Logan cries trembling with fear, as tears and sweat run profusely down his face, his shirt drenched.
Ah, now youve asked the key question. Who am I? smiles the man.
I dont care who I am or who you are. Help me before I fall! I cant hold on much longer! Logan pleads fervently.
True Nature: Nexus Excerpt

In this passage Logan is caught up in a personal life drama…he is hanging on for dear life, and simultaneously confronted with a question that is of paramount importance…”Who am I?”
How we answer this question for ourselves is highly significant and one of the most important determining factors of how our lives will unfold…(that’s why we included this passage in NEXUS.
Come to know that you are not just body/mind/emotions…but rather come to know yourself from a more holistic perspective…know yourself in your totality…that you are also a free and perfect Spirit-Soul. Know the essence of your Spirit-Soul as ever present Divine Truth/Love/Peace…
We lose sight of this aspect of ourselves when our consciousness becomes fragmented, or disconnected from our true centre. We then become identified with the more peripheral aspects of ourselves such as name, age, form, occupation etc.
Perhaps there is higher purpose in our life challenges…could it be that they serve us as reminders to look within and remember who we are more completely…to remember the deepest inner aspect or ourselves as well.
So in our day to day lives, we may be in challenging situations where we feel that we are just barely hanging on for dear life…remember who you really are whether your life experience is easy or difficult, joyous or sorrowful, in gain or loss…and if you can remember how to answer the question “Who am I?” in all the varied types of life experiences then you will have surely mastered the art of living!
