See what, where?
Are you aware that many people have looked their entire lives... they have honestly looked.... and found nothing??
Many people are looking right now and finding nothing.
Many people are looking and finding some spiritual thing... what we, in the know, like to call, a self-delusion.
Nowadays, no one has direct contact with any god, as it is claimed to have happened in the tales of holy books, sometime in the past.
People claim some psychological connection, but that's indistinguishable from self-delusion... and then you have Occam flashing his Razor...
How can you tell if you really are deluded?
Well, first figure out if you were indoctrinated as a child... that indoctrination, on some people, makes them accept any claim from authoritative figures... as these people grow up, those claims are never challenged and, even if some outside entity does challenge them, such challenge is automatically dismissed as fallacious, and your brain works in overtime attempting to come up with some cop out of that particular challenge.
Can you recognize yourself in any of this description?
Ah, but no... you were not indoctrinated... your parents didn't make you go to church on Sundays... They just had a few crosses lying around the house, the world around you hinted heavily on the notion of J.C. and god and the ghost thing... Something happens in your life that you can't explain away and.... you take the easy way... goddidit.
Still don't recognize yourself?
Well, then, do tell us how you came to be aware of the existence of a god. And then, how you got the impression that a particular god was the real one.
