WHO I AM
My name is Derek J Fiedler. I live in Clearlake, CA. I'm a husband, father, and creative thinker that likes to take a deeper look into philosophy, movies, culture, religion, you name it. I like to synthesize the most insightful and helpful knowledge from what I am learning and share it in many forms - film analysis, book review, commentary, symbolic interpretation. I ask a lot of why and how questions, groping my way to deeper meaning and purpose. I write articles for the Symbolic World Blog (thesymbolicworld.com/author/derekjfiedler/). I send out a newsletter called the Monday Mole (bit.ly/34hyjuJ).

I read the first article I wrote for the Symbolic World Blog that was published in June 2020. I describe how a story is not just comprised of symbols but is itself a symbol. I follow this emergent thread till it ultimately explains the story of all stories.

Watch the NEW VERSION of this video published on the Symbolic World Blog - https://youtu.be/mxjdSXywwxc.
Derek explains the meaning of the burning bush to Matthew McConaughey and Joe Rogan using symbolism and the allegorical approach.
Mr. McConaughey said in his interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, I dont know what to do with the burning bush. So Derek shows the pattern in Exodus of Moses and the burning bush can be seen throughout the Bible - 10 Egyptian plagues, Mary carrying Jesus in her womb, the Transfiguration, Pentecost, and the final judgment. Derek even gives a few modern examples, like Captain Marvel (2019). Hopefully, we all will understand the deep meaning, as well as the practical application, of the storys pattern.
