Who you really are
Source
Source is the originating wellspring from which all things flow — the one fountain of life, substance, and supply behind every appearance. To know yourself as connected to Source is to know that you are never cut off from the infinite, for the same current that pours out the worlds pours out through you. It is the ground beneath abundance and the answer to every lack: not a far-off reservoir to be reached, but the ever-present origin in which you live and move and have your being. All that you seek already proceeds from it.

The Neoplatonists and metaphysicians describe this great Origin. Plotinus names the One as the source of all things, itself beyond all things; the New Thought teachers point to God as the single Source of all true riches and substance, a fount whose stream is endless. To draw from Source is to turn from the outer channels and rest in the inner spring, trusting that what flows from the origin can never run dry.

There is only one source through which true riches ever come, and that is the Great Source of all Substance, God.W. John Murray
The same principle is true of the creative energy of God. The whole universe is full of it, but only the amount of it that flows through our own beings will work for us.Agnes Sanford
