Donna Goddard shares her love for the Divine and the world with a large international audience and has a strong social media presence. She has authored about twenty books on spirituality and personal growth—nonfiction, fiction, children’s fiction, poetry, and specialty books in writing and dance.
Here are the next chapters of Enanika. They are the last chapters of Part 1, and the last ones to be shared until Enanika is published later in 2026. You can currently read all of Part 1 here.
Chapter 17: The Falls
When Anu woke, she stood and moved with ease. Her body, she realised, was unnoticeable — as young bodies generally are.
After several weeks of being sixty-six-year-old Anna, she had returned to thirty-three-year-old Anu during the night.
Which was just as well, because she and Enlan had decided to go back to Fat Cow Falls that day. Enlan had been feeling very Earthbound and hoped he could connect with Enanika again in the pool. The cliff would be far easier for Anu to navigate than Anna.
“Have you lost something?” Enlan asked when they met at the entrance to the falls.
This is the opening chapter of Consciousness Continuing, the second book in the Consciousness Series. The first book of the series, Consciousness Rising, was published in October 2025. This chapter explores the experience of living many lives within one lifetime.
Consciousness does not improve itself over time. It relocates into realities where different versions of itself are viable.
Chapter 1: Many Lives in One
I have long felt that I’ve lived many lifetimes inside one life. I felt it before I ever heard words like parallel realities or shifting timelines, long before I encountered teachings about reality shifts. It is a lived experience. Entire worlds have closed behind me, and new ones opened — sometimes abruptly, sometimes over the space of several years — but always completely.
My life feels less like a single story and more like a series of distinct realities, each with its own version of me. Perhaps you feel this way too, even if you don’t yet have the language for it.
I’ll describe my major shifts here, as they may help you recognise your own.
Here’s the next section of Enanika, the visionary fiction I’m currently writing. But first, let’s take a look at the book so far.
Enanika follows Anu, a female from an advanced planet that resembles Earth. She comes here on a mission and must live within the density of our dimensions while maintaining her Nanik consciousness.
Alongside her is Enlan, also from Enanika. Unlike Anu, he adapts quickly to life on Earth. He works, relates, and lives as people do here. They were not meant to be on Earth at the same time — yet life had other plans.
Chapter 13: Taking a Train Ride
Naniks are used to time travel. They often play with it during their inter-dimensional ventures. However, as a general rule, they return to their “set” age — whatever technical age they currently hold on Enanika.
They do not experience time as a straight line. Past and future are not understood as places far behind or far ahead, even though Naniks sometimes speak about them that way for ease of communication. Time is viewed as something immediate and concurrent.
Like a train journey.
Imagine sitting on one of those old country trains — the kind with wooden seats and a gentle rocking motion. Outside the window, fields slide past. Small farms appear and disappear. A quiet town drifts into view, and for a moment, you glimpse a baker’s shop or a person standing in a garden. Some stations pass without stopping. At others, the train pauses briefly, just long enough to notice children waving, or someone waiting on the platform.
All of these scenes exist at once, stretched out across the land. The train doesn’t create them. It simply allows you to see them one by one. The one-by-one sequence gives the illusion of time passing.
Here are the next chapters of the book I’m currently writing — Enanika: Visionary Fiction.As the summer crowds leave Milkwood, Anu feels the gap between herself and Enlan growing. Enlan sinks further into Earth life, and his connection to Enanika is slipping. Anu continues her astral journeys to the Hermitage of Ling-Shi-La, a place beyond time. But on this visit, she encounters an unexpected problem — one that will add to the tension already unfolding between her and Enlan.
Chapter 10: Earth Bound
Three months had passed.
It was approaching the end of January, and Milkwood exhaled. The summer holiday deluge of Christmas, New Year, and the long school break eased as the new school year drew closer.
In the cafe, orders came a little more slowly. People stood at the counter a little longer. There were more familiar faces and fewer unfamiliar ones.
Milkwood always had visitors. It was that kind of town. On any given day, there were groups of women in their fifties on weekend getaways, walking slowly, laughing loudly, lingering over menus. There were young couples who had driven out from the city for a second or third date, treating the drive as part of the special romance. There were thirty-year-old dreamers who peered out cafe windows and imagined their one-day move to the country. There were older couples — well-dressed, unhurried — moving in and out of shops, touching things, considering, buying art and luxuries. And there were honeymooners.
Many people who are already on a path of personal or spiritual development are clear about what they want. They’ve made that choice. They want to feel happier and more at ease in themselves. They want abundance to flow. They want work that feels right, relationships that are nourishing, and a sense of inner freedom rather than constant anxiety or self-doubt.
And yet, despite that clarity, something keeps pulling them back. Progress doesn’t seem to move in the way they expect, or at the pace they would like. Old patterns reappear. Familiar struggles return. Sometimes they find themselves making choices they already know don’t serve them, and afterwards they’re left wondering why they did it again when they could see, perfectly well, where they wanted to go.
This can be confusing and often discouraging, especially when someone feels they are doing “the right things” and that they genuinely want change.
Some spiritual teachings and teachers help us understand ourselves by giving us words and concepts. Their teachings often feel emotionally supportive, intellectually reassuring, and foundational. People like to share them, talk about them, and say, “Yes, this is me too. This is what I believe.”
Well-known teachers who work in this way include Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Marianne Williamson. Their work helps people orient themselves, reflect, and build language for what is happening and where they are headed.
Spiritual teachings that work through ideas and explanations tend to suit cultures and people who like to talk things through, define themselves, and understand where they stand — the Western world. These teachings travel well through books (especially socially-sanctioned best-sellers), in discussion, and via social media sharing. They give people meaningful spiritual language that they can use to identify themselves.
Felt Spirituality
Other spiritual teachings help us to feel our way back into ourselves. Much is left unsaid. Not a lot is explained. They don’t give us many concepts to hold onto. Instead, they work through tone, presence, vibration, and silence. Often we can’t easily say what they’ve done — only that something has softened or changed inside us.
This kind of spirituality is less often shared or discussed because it doesn’t give us language to stand on. It asks us to be without explanation. There is no position to take, no insight to display, no sense of progress to claim. That can feel unsettling. But for some, it feels like home.
Christmas — the birth of Jesus — is all about love. It is what the birth of any great spiritual being signifies: the entrance of enlarged love onto the planet.
Love is the centre of our world, our universe, and our multiverse. Everything arises from love. It is the creative force that ever expresses itself in infinite forms, endlessly alive. Every part of existence, every particle of the universe, emerges from that love.
Love revitalises all things. It brings health to our body, peace and clarity to our mind, and happiness to our relationships. Resolve to bring love into every aspect of your life — into your home, your work, and your play. Let it flow to every person, every creature, and every expression of life.
Also, on this Christmas Day, 2025, my young co-author and I are delighted to share another birth: the beginning of our new children’s series. The first book is Foxie: The Contact Child. It is born from love, creativity, open minds, and a deep desire to share with our world. Available as paperback, ebook, and audiobook.
Foxie: The Contact Child (for 7 to 12 year olds)
A novel by Donna Goddard and her granddaughter, Aisha Bailey, written for 7 to 12-year-olds. Together, they draw on imagination, family stories, and the beauty of life — both the mundane and the extraordinary — to create tales for children.
Foxie is no ordinary child. She comes from Cha Chu Pani, a peaceful world where children grow in glowing bubbles, creatures live in harmony, and everyone communicates through thoughts. As a hybrid Contact Child, her first solo mission is a big one — Earth.
After a secret night landing in Tanglewood, Foxie is taken in by Aunty Em and Uncle Harry, who believe she’s simply a lost girl with no memory. But Foxie knows exactly who she is…
Earth brings many surprises: new foods, strange customs, powerful emotions, and a maddening foster girl named Maddie.
A magical, uplifting adventure about understanding, listening, courage, love, and seeing Earth through new eyes.
In Chapters 8 and 9 of Enanika, Anu is drawn far beyond the quiet streets of Milkwood into one of the most ancient spiritual landscapes on Earth — Tibet, the roof of the world. At the Hermitage of Ling-Shi-La and later at the Sanctuary of Zamsar, she encounters a living spiritual lineage that once shaped, and still shapes, the energetic evolution of Earth. These chapters move between worlds — Milkwood and the Himalayas, present and past — revealing doorways into the sacred. While the Hermitage offers transmission, the Sanctuary offers a love story.
Chapter 8: The Hermitage of Ling-Shi-La
Anu’s day in Milkwood had been simple: a short shift at the cafe, a quiet walk home, and the soft murmuring of Fat Cow Creek as she settled into bed. She didn’t exactly slip into sleep. Instead, she slipped out of her body.
The heaviness of Earth fell away. The rolling hills of Milkwood faded into the distance. She was astral travelling, moving through layers of light — a thin veil. The air thickened again. Weight entered her limbs. Her feet struck solid ground. She inhaled sharply and felt cold air.
Her body had reformed on a narrow path carved into a cliff face. Below was a drop so deep the bottom dissolved into haze. Huge rocks jutted outward, shielding her ledge from the worst of the icy hurricane gusts. A voice rose from the cliffs below, steady and calm.
“Downwards, child. Not upwards. The path is here.”
A rainbow crossing, a chai, and a familiar face — Anu’s first real steps on Earth begin.
We’ve spent the beginning five chapters of Enanika travelling with Anu through the fascinating, vibrant world of Enanika—watching her prepare for her first solo mission, learning about Contact Callers, and witnessing the mystic power of the Seed-of-Life sculpture, the living geometry capable of carrying a being from one realm to another.
Now, in Chapters 6 and 7, Anu steps into Milkwood—a thriving rural town of mineral springs and rainbow crossings, a haven for artists, healers, LGBTQ+ folk, and colourful nonconformists. Here, she begins her Earth-life in earnest, navigating some very human challenges and meeting someone she never expected to find on this planet.
Chapter 6: Milkwood
On Earth:
Milkwood hadn’t always been the colourful, open-hearted, and open-minded place Anu was stepping into. For most of its history, it was a regular country town—quiet, modest, shaped by old farming families and the remnants of a brief gold rush that had fizzled out more than a century ago. The land held stories of hard work, family orchards, and sheep, cattle, and dairy farms. People came and went, but nothing much changed. Milkwood was the kind of place where everyone knew everyone else, and new ideas arrived slowly, if at all.
In Chapters 4 and 5 of Enanika, we learn of the ancient Seed of Life sculpture and the frequency technology that links worlds. Anu discovers that Earth carries a more intimate connection to Enanika than she realised.
Chapter 4: Seed of Life Sculpture
Closing the door of her cottage, with one last lingering look at her cosy, dear home, Anu greeted the callboy.
“Morning. You’re early.”
“Never early or late,” he replied with a wink. “Always right on time.”
She fell into step beside him as they walked towards the hilltop. The air was still and honey-scented. The moss beneath them was soft, absorbing the sound of their footsteps.
“I see you’re travelling via the Seed of Life sculpture,” said the callboy. “Not a ship?”
