A friend told me that years ago he was working with a practitioner to be healed of a physical problem that went on and on and seemed never to improve.

After complaining to his practitioner on the phone one day about the lack of resolution, the practitioner replied, “Oh, John, that’s just the old drag—on belief, and you know what we think about the old Red Drag—on. There is none! It’s a myth.”

The mesmerism broke, my friend told me, and the physical ailment quickly disappeared.

So, if you’re laboring under any old drag…on belief, well, it’s time to prick the pretense and deflate its seeming presence.

The dragon is a Biblical symbol for error, evil and its nothingness. Whether it appears in the form of acute or chronic suffering, it’s always ripe for destruction, and losing our faith in it goes a long way to disempowering its seeming hold.
