How to put intuition to work?

An ancient legend says: In olden times, people had free access to all the wisdom of the gods, but they did nothing with it. The gods got so tired of it that that they decided to hide it. If the people were to have to seek the wisdom, they would probably appreciate it more and use it more carefully. One of the gods suggested hiding the knowledge deep underground, but if the people dig long enough, they would find it easily. Another god thought wisdom was better kept at the bottom of the ocean. But even there it would not remain hidden for long. Maybe it was an idea to put it away on a high mountain. But no, people could also quickly find it there. At a certain point, one of the gods said: what if we buried wisdom deep within the people themselves. They will never look there. And so it happened. And so it still is.
