What would Dudeist Meditation be?
Well, some may require a drug regimen to initiate or enhance the experience...The Dude, of course, uses many illicit sacraments to this end in the movie. But I believe any time you let yourself relax and be who you are in your time and place,...why, you're not a hee-ro, necessarily, but you are abiding.
I believe that bowling can be in and of itself a form of meditation, kind of the whole zen thing. Just being in the moment while you're at one with the ball, the lane, and the pins. But that's just, like my opinion, man

I seem to remember the Dude doing some form of Tai Chi in his bathrobe with a caucasian in one hand while listening to music and voicemails (it was after the landlord knocked on the door).
Am I wrong?

Let me tell you something, pendejo............
Dude, get thou to your tube and watch the fucking movie. The dude is listening to Whale songs while burning the sacred herb in his tub. Unfortunately, the fucking Nihilists crashed the dude's pad, fucked up his answering machine and tossed a amphibious rodent in the dude's bath water. Hey, this is a private residence, man! What was the dude listening to? Songs of the Whale, dude.

Am I wrong?
I thought that was dancing...........
Nope it was Tai Chi.
I wonder to myself where he learned tai chi?
Probably in college, smoke a j, take a tai chi class with a bunch of girls in tight leotards....
you know....
leotards....leotards...leotards....maybe its coz im drinkin....
but isnt that like the weirdest fucking word man....fucking leotards.
Dudeist meditation? I'll tell you what I do.
I do something I enjoy, listen to music, what have you, and then i focus on how good I feel. I think about how it feels to be alive, how it feels to be happy. Then I try to imagine feeling all the other people who feel good at this exact moment. I focus on my place within the universe. Swear to god dude, sometimes I get feelings like yoda did in star wars, that something is not right. Either way I focus on all this happiness, all this joy, and I imagine myself radiating it outward across consciousness.
But you know, that's just like, uh, my opinion, man.
like some particular meditation practices, with some substances you can get seduced by phenomena...but every now and then you can get a glimpse of something that can be quite motivating....you get that from regular sober practice also

Personally I hope some of the more momentum orienated dudeists or those who have an understanding of legislation (any attorneys present?) might be able to get some laws passed so that dudeists can grow or posess a legal amount of marijuana for religious purposes.
I know of buddhist families who are allowed to do this, I don't see why we can't.
It would really set my mind at ease.
Thoughts?
Personally I don't think it's likely but you never can tell - the battle lines are forming, though (in California) for and against prop 19: http://www.businessinsider.com/big-alcohol-donates-money-to-fight-legalization-of-pot-2010-9 (http://www.businessinsider.com/big-alcohol-donates-money-to-fight-legalization-of-pot-2010-9)

To quote The Tao Te Ching:
The more laws you have, the more criminals you have.
Legalise it, standardise it (as in get rid of that horrible soap bar, even though I do smoke that if nothing else is around), and tax it. Think of the revenues the governments are missing out on.
It's long been proposed that the police are wasting their time chasing the users.
And cannabis used to be one of the major crops for Britain (being a naval nation and needing lots of rope, hemp=good rope).
See Britain could once again be great, a new economic revival based on hemp production.

Interesting to see that the the donation was only 10,000 dollars. Anheiser Bush probably could fart out 10 grand out of one sunday morning hangover. Obviously they are not truly against it yet, or feel threatened in any way.
Seems like a image gimmick to me, or a press show. Hell, for all we know that could all be a load of sh*t. They just want to make goodey goodey for their constituients. It's all political and some turd in washington probably asked a boardmember to bring it up at a meeting while they were tanked on the green.
I'd just like to be able to grow a plant without some other ape telling me I shouldn't.
No other monkey's going to tell me how to peel my banana, man.
