Well, maybe if you try to look inside and not outside you may well start to perceive that essence.
That.... is when you enter the realm of psychology.
Look inwards for the answer.... sounds a lot like self-delusion.
An entity capable of creating the Universe shouldn't be perceivable only by "looking inwards".
"Look inwards" sounds like a person trying to convince another of something that is impossible to experience, unless you convince yourself of it, in the first place.
And that's why I refuse any such argument.
Some 100,000 years ago, humanity came across the concept of divine. If the deity was a real thing, there was some physical interaction (how else would humans have come up with it?) and was not just mental masturbation.
I eagerly await for that deity to perform the same kind of interaction with me.
Thus far, I have nothing of the sort. So I default to "there is nothing of the sort".
