This group is dedicated to exploring The Young Man and the Sage, the first book of The Herald’s Trilogy. Here we gather to reflect on its teachings, symbols, and storylines in the context of Netism. Reflect on the book as it applies to your personal journey. What themes jump out at you? What insights did you gain? There isn’t one way to interpret the novel, its translation is fluid from reader to reader, and even from one read to the next. Whether you are reading the book for the first time or returning for deeper study, your presence enriches the group.

There are No Wasted Efforts on the Path Towards Truth in the forum The Young Man and the Sage Discussion 2 months, 1 week ago“There are no wasted efforts on the path toward truth.” The sage’s line sounds simple. It becomes powerful when we take it seriously. It says that mistakes are not proof of weakness. They are the normal by-products of doing hard things.

As a political figure, this will tarnish his reputation and cost him his career. Laolys lives in a political family. It will destroy his relationships with them, too.
This begs the question: How much are you willing to give up to gain…[Read more]
