The Holy Book of the Eidolon
You gain the knowledge of every idea ever conceived. The ideas flood into your mind like water from an open dam rushes into a valley. Just a small part of the knowledge you gain is the knowledge of the deities. You would normally never have access to this knowledge, but now it is as familiar to you as the back of your hand. Specifically, you gain a very intimate understanding of the Code of the Eidolon.
The code of the Eidolon is a gospel that all deities are raised to believe in. Unknown to most deities, it was written by the Oldest Eidolon as a way to ensure the loyalty and maintain control of the deities of the Higher. The text consists of sixty-seven books, each with about one thousand five hundred chapters, and is more than five hundred billion years old. Every deity is mandated to memorize the entire text before they are christened.
Below are extracts from the first 3 books:

As a deity, your existence revolves around strength. You are your strength and it is by that strength that you will be judged. The strong may do to the weak as they like. Respect those stronger than you for your life is in their hands.

Pity the humans for they are as insects to you. Never let them forget their place in the pyramid of existence. They are born only to be ruled. Some of them might believe themselves something more. Blasphemy! These are the worst of the insect and should be squashed without a thought. But do not hate them for their ways, for your emotions could be better directed towards more fruitful goals.

Rise! Apply yourself and ascend past what you are. The goal of your existence is to become an Eidolon. Anything less than this is absolute failure. Every step you take should be towards that goal.
You do not age but do not think you have all of eternity to accomplish this goal. Death may come to you at any time, be it from the hands of your senior or your mates. Be vigilant and weary of starting unnecessary conflict, for eternity is too long to always look over your shoulder.

Respect more than anything else, the highest form of existence, the Eidolon. They have all worked their way to the apex of existence and become beings beyond your conception. They have become one with the source of everything, the World Stream, and have mastered bending very fabric of the universe to their wishes. In doing this the reign supreme. They are your Gods! The planets move to their melody. Everything that lives only lives with their permission.
No matter how highly your peers regard you, never forget that there will always be an insurmountable wall between you and the Eidolon. Strive to break through this wall and ascend to their level.
