I'm not sure if that's true at all. The Source of All Things is the Source. There is nothing that is not already, and eternally, fundamentally connected to Source. The concept of "ownership" doesn't really apply in any meaningful (distinctive) way.
Ownership is a construct of the individual person (this piece of bread is mine, this fishing pole is mine, etc.), and by extension a social construct (we agree the bread is yours, we disagree about the fishing pole, etc.). It doesn't really have meaning outside of those scopes.
your perspective is very relatable to me, fren. but God is a person. not a human, but still a person. this has been a fairly recent realization for me, as well.
Exodus 19:5: "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:"
Psalms 24:1: "A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein."
You are welcome to think that. But how could the Source be an individual entity? Nothing can possibly be separate from That Which Is, so how can it be "individual" in the way we understand the term?
If you mean you think that the Source is YHWH I suggest you do a deep dive into how Christianity came to be, what Jesus really had to say on the topic, what the Jews really did to bring about today's religions, etc. There is so much more to that story than you will find in the Bible, which was created (in the version we have today) by people who murdered anyone who disagreed with their version of that religion (see the Codex Theodosianus e.g.).
Lol. You have no idea what kind of deep dives I have done. I can absolutely assure you that God is a person. Jesus held that opinion as well.
You may find the book series "conversations with God" interesting. I think it would appeal to your perspective.
by the way, the letters Y H V H are representative of four levels of reality that form the body of God. It is not just some name assigned as part of a mythology, it is a description of the laws of reality that will be studied and hold true into the far future. for eternity, to be exact.
Don't try to outsmart the Bible, fren. Only try to understand it.
true, it's up to us. I only bring God into this because that's the real owner of it all.

here is another angle that helped me.
you talk like a seeker. so perhaps you know that everything you experience is a reflection of yourself.
I reflect some part of your being back to you, just as you refect some part of my being back to me, and all is one.
i know this is true. and yet, even though i know you are a reflection of me, i also recognize and respect that you have your own personhood.
our persons may not be truly separate, but they are distinct.
if you can afford that recognition to this humble reflection, surely you can also afford it to the source of all things.
