You are a vessel, not the source

 I firmly believe that the principle that states that one must consider oneself as not the source but the vessel or a channel through which a Higher power expresses itself, when mastered through experience, becomes, for the determined soul, the real turn key principle which unleashes the power for great accomplishment.

This is so because it informs one first of ones true relationship to others, and to one's Maker, and frees one of pride, which is the great stumbling block, and in so doing, properly aligns one to tap from a power source that is infinitely higher and more powerful than self.
