PunkPhotography: I don't believe in God or the Devil...

That may well be true, but you probably do believe in the concepts of good and evil. Good and evil are opposites and often, when people are undergoing a form of crisis or intense inner conflict they might feel as if they are being torn in two as they wrestle with finding their own answers. Sometimes they express the intensity of this inner conflict with metaphors, such as having "God (Good) and the Devil (Evil) raging inside of them.

What I'm always interested in when people begin having these kinds of experiences is, what else is going on in your life? Have you recently experienced a disappointing loss, a crushing setback, a form of trauma? Is your inner conflict merely a reflection of some conflict in your outer world?
