>I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. -Isaiah 45:7In the New Testament, "Jesus was led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."

What changes is the Operator's conscious awareness of how the "game" really works. As for what happens after this life is over, that's the initiate's prerogative. There is much that can be done to ready oneself for what comes next, but only when the mind is open to the existence of those realities.
