A Course in Miracles Quotes:
Healing is release from the fear of waking and the substitution of the decision to wake. The decision to wake is the reflection of the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He taught that one form of sickness is more serious than another, He would be teaching that one error can be more real than another. His function is to distinguish only between the false and the true, replacing the false with the true.
(T-8.IX.5.)
How can you wake children in a more kindly way than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten them, but will merely remind them that the night is over and the light has come? You do not inform them that the nightmares that frightened them so badly are not real, because children believe in magic. You merely reassure them that they are safe now. Then you train them to recognize the difference between sleeping and waking, so they will understand they need not be afraid of dreams. And so when bad dreams come, they will themselves call on the light to dispel them.
(T-6.V.2.)
This is a relatively rare song in that it is like a prayer in the form of a song. It’s dazzling lyrics simply ask not to be left unaware that we are dreaming. It plaintively asks to be shown that we are merely dreaming and are empowered to make the choice to waken.
Lyrics:
Wake me up,
Don't let me sleep
Wake me up,
Try shaking me
Remind me that this is just a dream
That I should not be afraid of anything.
Wake me up
Before the sky is falling
I know that you can hear me calling
Don't let me be tangled in this cloud
This can't be real,
Won't you pull me out?
I can't find my way
When you're not around
I'm lost like a bird astray high above the ground.
Wake me up,
I need your arms around me
Don't ever stop loving me
It's been way too long
Since I had you near
And It all seems wrong when you're not here.
I can't find my way
When you're not around
I'm lost like a bird astray high above the ground.
I can't find my way
When you're not around
I'm lost like a bird astray high above the ground.
I can't find my way
When you're not around
I'm lost like a bird astray high above the ground.
Tell me that I am only dreaming
Tell me that I am only dreaming
Tell me that I am only dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming...
