The gods were up in the heavens one day having a debate because they had a dilemma. The Human race was coming closer to discovering the truths to living the virtuous life, the free life. The gods didn’t want this because it was these truths that kept them in power.
They didn’t want the human race becoming their equals.
They had to discuss where to hide the truths. So they started making suggestions.

They are looking everywhere for the answers to life and they are desperate to find it, eager to know their purpose, and aching to feel what it is to be one with who they really are.”
The gods are shifting around impatiently, knowing the littlest god is right but not seeing any possible place that…
