From Sleepwalking To Awakening Through Ancestral Wisdom

Published 2025-05-06 14-27

Summary

Discovered my life mirrored my character Julius—failed marriage and sleepwalking through days. A death, strange dreams, and an old book changed everything, revealing how past generations light the path forward.

The story

Five years ago, I was stuck on autopilot—just like Julius in my book. Failed marriage, distant from my kids, sleepwalking through each day.

Then my dad died, and weird dreams started. Life has this way of shaking you awake when you’re not paying attention.

Julius finds his wake-up call through Mitchell, a mentor who shows up right when needed. They discover an old book that changes everything. Reading it together, they see their empty lives reflected in stories of a family navigating war, revolution, and religious conflict.

That’s the heart of “Legacy Found”—showing how the past isn’t just history, but a message from those who came before us. I created this fictional family [using real historical events] to explore something I’ve come to believe: while circumstances change across generations, human struggles remain remarkably similar.

Before encountering this family’s story, Julius only saw his failures. After, he discovered possibilities for transformation.

Sometimes the answers we need aren’t in chasing the future but in understanding those who walked before us. Their journey becomes our map.
