Once a person has awoken to this realization it is where the journey begins (as spaced said, you're an creator now what). The Devil is a being who is detached from ideas, opinions, actions, etc.,... it is yet waiting to be activated, aware of self but that is it. And perhaps because the Devil is in this state, we may project onto it, a monster or negative entity. This negativity may be manifested as being overly attached or greedy or power mongering - that is like the shadow we each face. Parallel journey with one who has awoken to understand and see self as creator. Now what? Taking that pill is but a portion of that journey, there is so much more development that may occur for adepts-in-training.

Quote:80.10 Questioner: Now, the fifteenth archetype, which is the Matrix of the Spirit, has been called the Devil. Can you tell me why that is so?
Ra: I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself. The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit. Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery. Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature.
It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.
