CHAPTER NINE
Life Lessons and Tor-Mentors
We are here to learn a particular set of life
lessons, and the lesson plan is already within
us. Each of us carries legacy burdens inherited from our
families and cultures, and each of us also accrues plenty of
personal burdens along the way. So our lesson plan begins
with unloading those burdens, and that sets the stage for the
most important lesson of all—finding out who we really are.

Introduction
As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with many
people who came to me shortly after their lives
had crashed. Everything was going great until the sudden heart
attack, divorce, or death of a child. If not for that life-jarring
event, they would never have thought to see a therapist,
because they felt successful.
After the event they can’t find the same drive or
determination. Their former goals of having big houses or
reputations have lost their meaning. They feel at sea and
vulnerable in a way that’s unfamiliar and scary.
