Ricky Maye Quotes

“Conversation isn't about proving a point; true conversation is about going on a journey with the people you are speaking with.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“Faith is a journey” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“I am not interested in coming to a conclusion or finding the “right” answer, I’m interested in going on a lifelong journey with this God who decided he wanted to walk this same journey with me.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

"Many people will never read a Bible, but they will read you.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality (Goodreads)

“Many times in the Christian life, we focus on the five-minute salvation experience rather than the lifetime of work the Lord will put into us and the many paths and instances we will find God.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“People often reject and criticize what they believe Jesus would have no part in, but in reality most times Jesus is a part of the scandalous, the dirty and the dangerous.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“Religion and spirituality can easily be intertwined; however, there is a very distinct separation between the two.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“Sometimes we can focus so much on nothing that we make it a big something of nothing” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“Spirituality can’t be explained, religion seeks for every explanation. Religion will debate and try to prove the existence of God, while spirituality will explain God with as little words as possible. Religion will try to limit God, Christianity, theology and intelligence, while spirituality will open God up to faith; the invisible and confusing and uncomfortable.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

“We read about the name Jesus was given at his birth; Immanuel, meaning “God with us”. This God wasn’t content with dwelling in fiction, this God wasn’t content living with the seraphim and this God wasn’t content with bulls and goats anymore. This God wanted to dwell with you, with all of your mess, with all of your failures with all the dirtiness that is you; he wanted to sit with you. Here’s the amazing thing, God doesn’t care if you’re a catholic, a Lutheran, Post modern or Emergent; he wants to sit with you.” ~Ricky Maye, An Emerging Spirituality

"Your footsteps will have more to say about your spiritual life than knowledge attained." ~Ricky Maye

"I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today." ~William Allen White

"I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamourous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals. Lady Luck has been good to me and I fancy she has been good to every one. Only some people are dour, and when she gives them the come hither with her eyes, they look down or turn away and lift an eyebrow. But me, I give her a wink and away we go." ~William Allen White (Zest for Life)

“If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be.” ~William Allen White

"Free will allows us to focus on the thoughts we want, and it is the thoughts we have and support that shape, color, and define the world we see." ~James Blanchard Cisneros, Author

"God is always trying to remind you of your loving nature, thus He allows, through free will, for judgment, anger, resentment and revenge to manifest so you can see and better understand how unalike they are to you." ~James Blanchard Cisneros, Author, You Have Chosen to Remember

"Grace is the gentle eternal flow of God's unconditional love that nourishes and fills our souls." ~James Blanchard Cisneros (Excerpt from the book You Have Chosen to Remember)

"Negative emotions are not negative. Negative emotions allow you to see which illusions of yourself and others you are still holding unto as real. Thus processing negative emotions is a sacred part of your journey, of all our journeys.

Chance, is an illusionary idea of the ego, you are on a sacred journey and all those you encounter today are those you have been sent here to serve. Do not take your mission lightly, pay very close attention to the words you use, and align your words with the energies of love, compassion, forgiveness, peace, and joy." ~JBC

"You paint the world you see with every thought you think." ~James Blanchard Cisneros

"Your worth is perfect, gifted to you in your creation, changeless in time. No one can add or subtract your worth." ~James Blanchard Cisneros

PERSPECTIVES

NEGATIVE EMOTIONS:
"Negative” emotions are not negative. Negative emotions allow you to see which illusions of yourself and others you are still holding unto as real. Thus processing negative emotions is a sacred part of your journey, of all our journeys. Today practice patience, not only with yourself but also with others, for we are all One, and so when you learn patience for others, you are also learning to respect your own process. You are a blessing to this world, not just parts of you, but all of you. Peace." ~JBC, You Have Chosen to Remember

The Power of Checking in on Yourself Throughout the Day:
Every moment allows you the opportunity to begin anew. Throughout the day, practice becoming present, returning to the present moment and asking yourself: “What kind of day do I want to experience.” Today let us practice checking in on ourselves, and deciding if the thoughts, feelings, emotions, actions and reactions we are experiencing are the ones that will assist us in having the day we want. When you are not feeling confident, forgiving, generous, loving, or kind, stop yourself and say, “This is not who I truly desire to be, I now choose to stop this thinking and return to my truest-self, I now choose to be who I truly am. I have control of how I act, behave, react, and interact with others and myself. I no longer choose to put effort into following the same dead end roads of judgment and self-judgment that the ego demands I follow. I am no longer an unconscious prisoner to what the ego has programmed me to think. I now choose to become the expression of the day I desire to have.” ~James Blanchard Cisneros, Author of the book "You Have Chosen to Remember"

"This World is a Reflection of the Thoughts We Think:
You can only define this world through your thoughts. Because it is within your mind that you define the world you see, then this world is simply a reflection of the thoughts you choose to think. Everything “out there” is given definition by you. Thus, when you work on developing a more peaceful mind, then the world that you see through this mindset, will appear more peaceful. Equally so, If your mind is in a confused, fearful and chaotic state, then it is through this mindset, that you will define the world you see, and thus how you choose to participate in it. Your thoughts drive how you participate in this world, and thus of how you experience it. If you are not at peace with how you are participating in and experiencing this world, then focus not outward but within, to change it.

Today, when your thoughts are showing you a world you do not want, do not just hand your creative power over to the ego, instead take your power back, by taking your thoughts and mind back. In times when you lack peace, recall who your creator is, He is Love, and thus you are forever worthy of Love’s inheritance. Peace is one of the many expression of Love, and thus is your inheritance and natural state. When not at peace, you are somewhere you do not belong. But do not despair, simply return to the now, and chose once again. Simply, align your thoughts and mind with Love, and because love is who in truth you are, allow it to lead you. Ask yourself: “In this moment, what would Love have me think, say and do”, and then do that. As you do, you will begin to represent and reflect, Heaven on Earth." ~James Blanchard Cisneros, "You Have Chosen to Remember"

What is Success?
In the world of illusions, success can be measured a hundred ways, and failure a thousand others. In truth, you achieve success through your simple participation in the life experience. You experience growth, and that is what you have come to do. If you accomplish what you have come to do, then you have succeeded. In that sense, there is no more need to ever talk about the idea of being a successful human being. My friend, let go of the world’s illusionary idea of success, and focus on those areas in your life that fill you with passion, peace, and joy. Those areas will reenergize and magnify the light in you. By following your passions, peace, and joy, you will successfully serve as a reminder and example to others that their true hopes, desires, and dreams, are indeed within reach, within them. ~James Blanchard Cisneros, Author of the book "You Have Chosen to Remember"

Sir William Golding - Women

"I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make it greater. If you give her a sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit." ~Sir William Golding
