This was such a rich conversation. I gleaned a lot from this. Thank you!

[@DerekJFiedler]

Awesome! Spring is coming :)

[@TheIntegratedGarden]

@@DerekJFiedler Sure is!

I think it's worth noting in the discussion at around 36:00 onwards that some degree of caution and "safety" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Medieval mystical practices that the Church later condemned for example, should not be taken up just for the sake of being a "medieval Christian."

I got my Snow White books before Christmas. It’s beautiful! Hang tight….totally worth it. Can’t wait for the next fairy tales. Btw you have to come to Oklahoma for the BEST BAR B Q! ❤

[@DerekJFiedler]

I'm ready.

[@angiec9599]

I’m looking forward to seeing you both at the Symbolic World Summit.

[@DerekJFiedler]

Be sure to say hi, Angie!

[@PaulVanderKlay]

[@FrJohnBrownSJ]

This will be excellent!

[@DerekJFiedler]

Rohlin is in high form. Get the popcorn ready.

[@DerekJFiedler]

Thank you for the generous donation 🙏

[@FrJohnBrownSJ]

@@DerekJFiedler uh oh. I think you may have me confused with someone who doesn't have a vow of poverty! I cannot take credit for any donation, sadly.

[@DerekJFiedler]

@@FrJohnBrownSJ sorry for the confusion. Your support is of the highest value non the less.

20:58 You met your wife when she was 14 years old, and you were 10 years old. Anakin Skywalker, is that you?

[@christopherrichardson6644]

38:30 - did Rohlin ever give examples where Lewis "falls short"?

[@DerekJFiedler]

Not fully. It has been added to the list for the next convo.

[@christopherrichardson6644]

@@DerekJFiedler Excellent video. My first time on your channel; new subscriber! Thank you for your reply; I'm looking forward to the follow-up video.

[@DerekJFiedler]

@@christopherrichardson6644 Hey, welcome! And thanks for the question.

[@davidMflores]

But what 40k faction does Richard play?

[@St_Bartys_Acolyte]

I was forbidden to tell which faction, but I can say he hasn't ever lost since he started playing as far as I'm aware. The man is a master strategist.

[@RichardRohlin]

For the Lion!

[@lancekent1066]

I'm guessing either Eldar or Space Orks.

[@davidMflores]

Ugh the 1st? Well at least its not ultramarines

[@eveningprimrose3088]

Richard has probably answered this before somewhere, but can anyone tell me...What do his family-of-origin members think of his conversion to Orthodoxy? Did any of them also convert?

[@JAMESKOURTIDES]

Excellent

[@DerekJFiedler]

Was a good followup to what we talked about in our recent convo. Several points overlapped.

[@MoeGar-e6e]

St. Jack in deed...❤😂🎉

[@BryanKirch]

As long as we don’t call it a mandala we’re safe from being called heretics

[@MoeGar-e6e]

This is like Heaven...😂🎉❤

[@larspetry4640]

The one thing that I disagree with is the star wars thing. It is not that the rebels are always the good guys and it is not the case that he has to kill his father. In fact the whole point was that he did not kill his father and through that did not turn to the dark side and the redemption ark of darth vader is that he turns against his master so that luke does not have to kill anybody. Regarding the rebels: In the Prequels the Rebels are the enemies of the republic and are neither good nor bad. They have their own understandable interests and get used and corrupted by the sith, so that the sith can use the rebel-Problem as an excuse to end democracy and corrupt the republic to turn it into the empire. So basically you have two sides with good intentions. The Republic and the Rebels (Seperatists) getting corrupted. Then in the original triology you have Rebels fighting against the empire trying to restore the old Republic. Sorry how is the new the good in that story??!!

Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
