Enanika: Visionary Fiction—The Marketplace

🌍✨ A new story begins…

It’s always an exciting moment to begin a new story.
Here is the start of my new fiction series, Enanika.
It carries the same mystical, otherworldly tone as the Waldmeer Series—yet it’s set in a completely different world. 🌿🕊️

In the opening chapter of Enanika, we meet Anu in her natural world — a peaceful, advanced planet where telepathy is normal, harmony is effortless, and daily life moves with an inner hum of presence.

Chapter 1: The Marketplace

Anu moved with untroubled ease through the open-air market, her short chestnut bob brushing just above her shoulders. Sunlight caught her blue eyes, clear like the surface of a calm mountain lake. She looked about thirty, although many of the other adults did as well. So, it was unclear how old she really was.

Her earth-toned, flowing garments—soft linen pants and a knee-length dress—moved in sync with the subtle breeze and the rhythm of the marketplace. To most visitors, that rhythm seemed silent.

Parallel Realities and Fiction

In the realm of fiction, some stories do more than momentarily entertain — they open a door to a parallel reality. One such story is James Hilton’s Lost Horizon, the book that introduced Shangri-La to the world in 1933. I read it in my early twenties, and it never left me.

Shangri-La is a mystical, timeless valley hidden high in the Tibetan mountains — a place of serene beauty and profound peace, where people live in harmony and age almost imperceptibly. It is a true sanctuary of deep stillness and gentle happiness.

Though the main character, Conway, was persuaded to leave Shangri-La, the moment he returned to the outside world, he was filled with a deep, unshakable longing to find his way back. I had the same feeling — a deep longing to return.

This is the power of well-crafted fiction — the ability to open a doorway to parallel realities. When we talk about writing fiction, we often think of it as inventing stories from imagination. But there’s another way to see it. Good fiction writers aren’t simply creating imaginary worlds out of nothing. They’re tuning into other concurrent realities. Most people assume that there is just one reality. But those on the spiritual path understand that existence has many layers. A skilled writer can attune to those layers. The world they write about is real in its own dimension.
