The Wisdom of The Dude is Open to us All

The Wisdom of the Dude is Open to Us All

The door to Peaceful Calm Abiding is always open. The arms of The Dude open wide to all who would take refuge in His Wisdom and in the Peaceful Abiding Calm of His Teachings. And all of us who Abide in The Dude all are welcome in His Heart.

The teachings of Dudeism, are Universal Teachings.

When people hear The Dudes words and feel His presence, they are called to the Abideness in a deep and profound way.

It is hard to find a teaching that is Totally Open: open to all men and women, regardless of who they are or what they have done, a teaching that invites everyone without exception into the Embrace of Abiding Calm. And Dudeism is this teaching.

Regardless of how many books or religious scriptures that you have read, there comes a time when you must go beyond the words into a direct experience of The Dude and His teaching.

Consider these words then an invitation to go deeper and invite The Dude into your Life.

I feel blessed to be a practitioner of these teachings and to share them with you. Nevertheless, I encourage you not to accept anything I say, without testing it to see if it is true and helpful to you.

For the Truth is always helpful, although it often helps people in different ways.

So open your Mind and listen with your Heart. Put these teachings to work in your life and you will know if they serve you or not.

You are responsible for the teachings that you accept and you cannot accept a teaching that does not bring you greater Insight and Empower you to live a life of Abiding with The Universe.

If, these teachings serve you, pass them along to others who can use them to open their hearts, awaken their minds, and step into the fullness of their own power.

For the world we live in needs many compassionate leaders and witnesses to the Truth. And now is the time for each one of us to stand up and do what we came here to do.

May the Calm Abideness of The Dude Shine in your Heart and in your Life now and for all time.

The Dude seeks to Guide us, so that we can ALL become The Dude.

The teaching of Dudeism says: The Dudes Abiding Wisdom is for All of us. Peaceful Abiding Calm is the very foundation of our existence. Once given, it cannot be taken away. If we don?t feel this Abiding, it is not because the Dude has stopped Teaching us. It is because we have cut ourselves off from the Awareness of The Dude within us. This is not The Dudes predicament, but it is Ours.

If you follow the teachings of The Dude through Dudeism, you will find Peaceful Abiding Calm, Guidance and Inspiration, with The Dude in your Heart and in your Life.

For you, The Dude is an on-going reality in which Guidance and Insight are received.

People may say to you: ?I cannot accept the teachings of The Dude, but I still think that He is Awesome or Totally Rad.?

Do not worry, take heart. He will Teach you and He will teach them in a way that they can understand. He will Guide you. He simply awaits your invitation. Be open to Him, and He will teach you how to Abide.

For remember the most important lesson. The Dude is not just a Man, He is not just an Idea. The Dude, is YOU!

Look I'm sorry but this is all just your opinion.

Dudeism is not prescriptive, there is no right or wrong way there just is.

There are a number of us that are familiar with the Taoist line, some are christians, some are Pagans.

Please stop telling us "what Dudeism is", the reason we are collected here is because we already have attained our own opinion of what dudeism is.

[SirNels]

I'm not saying that  my way is the only way. I'm not narrow-minded nor stupid.

Religions that do those things have resulted in the deaths and suffering of countless people throughout history.
I'm just sharing what Dudeism means to me, what I see, what I feel.

As you said "the reason we are collected here is because we already have attained our own opinion of what dudeism is."

And that's what I'm sharing. My interpretation is different from yours and that's okay. 

Dudeism is an evolving faith that grows and becomes more richer with every Dudeist. What's true for one is Not going to be true for everyone. A religion that's the same for everyone is boring and will become stagnate. Religions like Dudeism, Taoism, Buddhism and Gnosticism grow and flourish and therefore they can truly benefit everyone.   

I welcome anyone who wants to, feel free to offer advice, criticize, disagree, agree, enjoy or whatever you feel will help to expand mine and others knowledge and understanding of Dudeism. We are all here to learn, grow and become better Dudeists.

That is Better.
It refers to the Individual and not as a generalization of us as a whole. They flow from each of us better when they are a choice, and that makes them more open and free.
Thank you Wozza for this insight.

I agree with meekon, it seems like your experience with Dudeism is a little more mystical than it is for the rest of us and that you're trying to fit it into some kind of Gnostic framework with slight Christian themes. This could just be me reading into this, or it could be that you (un)intentionally are trying to lodge the figure of the Dude into a deity position at least similar to that of Bodhisattvas in Tibetan style Buddhism or Amitabha in Jodo Shinshu.

With that being said I do appreciate you sharing what Dudeism means to you, it's nifty that it can take such a form for someone, however you should give a little bit of a forewarning that you aren't trying to force your beliefs onto Dudeism and are rather sharing your interpretation of it.
