Every person possesses something remarkable – a direct, personal connection to the primordial Source of all existence. I call it the Personal Source: not because each of us has our own separate source, but because this connection is absolutely intimate and direct. The Source is one for everyone. And each of us is connected to it without any distance and without any intermediary – regardless of whether we are aware of it or not. And it is precisely this realization – that this connection already exists and has always existed – that is the key to consciously drawing from it.
This article explains what the Personal Source is, why it is your most effective tool for returning to yourself – and how to access this connection exactly when you need it most.
What Is the Personal Source? A Definition That Changes Your Perspective
The Personal Source is your core – what lies at your foundation, from which you emerge. You don’t “have” a Personal Source the way you have memories or beliefs. You have a direct connection to the same Source to which everything that exists is connected.
That is why the word “personal” does not describe exclusivity or separateness here. It describes a relationship – living, intimate, unmediated by any system or hierarchy. It is this relationship – with its closeness and directness – that makes access to the Source such a concrete and practical tool in daily life.
Why Everyone Is Connected to the Source – Even If They Don’t Feel It
The connection to the Source is a fact – not an achievement, not a reward, not the result of years of spiritual practice. It exists regardless of whether you know about it, believe in it, or are “spiritually developed.”
The problem is not that this connection is weak or that you’ve lost it. The problem is that most people were never taught it exists. And so in difficult moments you look for yourself outside – in others’ opinions, in ready-made systems of answers, in whatever external structure might give you a sense of identity. That is a vicious circle, because no external structure can replace contact with the Personal Source.
If you are lost right now, traditional approaches say: go back the way you came. Retrace your steps one by one. Work through every experience that brought you here. That is sometimes necessary – but it takes enormous time and energy.
Access to the Personal Source works differently. It is something like inner teleportation.
Instead of painstakingly retracing your steps, you reach the original connection – to what you truly are at your foundation – and literally leap back to your true self. Without losing any experience gathered along the way. You return richer, not erased.
Of course, if you became heavily “muddied” and exhausted on the way, it will take a moment to return to full form. But this regeneration is incomparably faster when it happens from the level of the Personal Source than when it occurs by groping through the middle of one’s own lostness.
How to Reach the Personal Source: Two Points of Concentration
There are two key points on which you can focus your attention to reach the Personal Source:
Concentration on the heart chakra
The heart chakra (Anahata), located in the center of the chest, is the entry point I most often use for accessing the Personal Source. Focusing on this area allows you to reach your true Self and the power flowing from there.
What is unusual: even when the heart chakra is in poor condition – when you are filled with sadness, exhaustion, loneliness, when it is generally blocked – reaching your true Self and the power flowing from there is still possible. The Source is not dependent on the state of the chakra. Access remains. Always.
Concentration on the crown chakra – what lies above it?
The crown chakra (Sahasrara), located at the top of the head, is the point through which you try to focus on what is above it – and in this way to reach the Source of all things: the primary and ultimate one.
In my own practice I use this distinction consciously: concentration in the area of the heart chakra serves me for contact with the Personal Source; concentration through the crown chakra – for contact with the Source of all things. You can move from one to the other, though it is easier to focus directly on whatever is the current goal.
The fact that this division works for me does not mean it will be the same for you. At a certain level, the Personal Source and the Source of all things merge into one. So both points of concentration are equally valuable – which one works better for you is a matter of your own practice.
One important difference: under certain external influences you may temporarily experience disconnection from the Source via the crown chakra. That does not happen with the heart chakra focus.
| Point of Entry | Heart Chakra | Crown Chakra |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | Always – even with blocks and emotional pain | May be temporarily limited |
| When to use | Returning to yourself, regeneration, contact with your own Self | Contact with the Source of all things, going beyond individuality |
| At a deeper level | Both points lead to the same Source – they merge into one | |
Can Anyone Completely Cut You Off from Your Personal Source?
No.
This is one of the most important sentences you can take from this article.
Whatever happens – whatever external forces may act, whatever difficulties you go through – this connection remains yours. Not because you earned it, not because you deserve it. Because it is part of what reality is. It is built into the structure of your existence.
You can walk away from it in your thoughts. You can forget it. You can live years as if it didn’t exist. But it is always there. Without impatience. Without conditions. Waiting.
And it takes just one conscious step in its direction to feel that this connection was never broken.
How to Return to Yourself: An Exercise in Working with Your Personal Source
This exercise can be done right now – even if you are in the middle of a difficult period. Especially if you are in the middle of a difficult period.
Visualization is not the most important thing here. What matters most is a strong, calm intention to reach the Personal Source. The technique is only a skeleton – the living content is provided by intention.
Step 1 – Choose Your Entry Point
Focus either on the center of your chest (heart chakra) or on the top of your head and what is above it (crown chakra). Choose whichever feels more natural to you right now. Don’t analyze. Trust the first impulse.
Step 2 – Release What Is Not Yours
Consciously set aside everything that feels like it doesn’t belong to you – others’ expectations, accumulated fears, labels assigned by others, patterns absorbed from outside. Don’t fight them. Just calmly place them to the side for the duration of this exercise.
Step 3 – Go Inward
Immerse your awareness in yourself, searching for what lies at your foundation. What makes you the Real You – not the expected version, not the exhausted one, not the wounded one. The original one. The one directly rooted in the Source.
Step 4 – Remember Yourself Fully
If you feel lost right now, return in memory to a time when things were good. When you felt you were living fully. What goals guided you then? What did you believe in? What drove you?
If you can’t remember such a time – return to a moment when, despite difficulties, you felt that at least partially you were moving forward. That you were on the right path.
Step 5 – Reach the Primordial Cause
Now go even deeper. Beyond memories, beyond feelings. To the very essence – to the element from which you emerge. To the place where your Self touches the Source of all existence – without distance, without separation, without boundary. You may experience it as peace, as power, as a silence full of presence.
If this exercise works – you will have no doubt whether this is it. As long as you trust yourself and don’t negate yourself in the moment when you arrive.
Expert Insights – What Two Decades of Work with Extrasensory Perception Reveal
Over many years of leading Remote Viewing trainings and working with consciousness, I observe one recurring phenomenon: people lose contact with the Personal Source not because something terrible happened to them. They lose it because they were never taught it exists.
The consequence is that when crisis arrives, they look for themselves outside. In others’ opinions, in ready-made systems of answers, in whatever external structure will give them a sense of identity. It is a vicious circle, because no external structure can replace contact with the Personal Source.
Second insight: concentration in the area of the heart chakra as a way of reaching the Source is exceptionally resilient. An important caveat I apply in my own practice: I don’t equate this access with the chakra itself – the Source appears to be in the same vicinity, but the chakra is only a point of focus for attention, not the Source itself. In working with many people who have experienced serious trauma, I have repeatedly observed that even in deeply blocked states, this access remained available.
Third observation: intention is more important than technique. Remote Viewing taught me that it is not the procedure that produces results – it is the clean, concentrated intention of reaching the target. Exactly the same applies to accessing the Personal Source. You may know no terminology, no energy technique – and still arrive, if the intention is genuine.
What Conscious Connection with the Source Gives in Daily Life
Regular, conscious work with the Personal Source is not a practice reserved for exceptional moments of crisis. It is a daily consciousness hygiene that concretely translates into:
- Inner resilience – when external circumstances change, you know where your core is
- Clarity in decisions – choices made from the level of the Source are more aligned with your true nature than those arising from fear, compulsion, or others’ expectations
- Faster regeneration – you recover from difficult states more quickly when you have a stable inner reference point
- Depth of inner life – contact with the Source opens access to dimensions of experience that simply are not available from within a contracted ego
- The power of your own path – instead of moving along others’ routes, you begin walking your own – and you carry the foundation from which that path flows
