Circle of Power Spiritual Foundation

The Circle of Power Spiritual Foundation was established in the mid 1980s by Ray Fletcher, a psychic channel, and his wife Candy. Through the mid-1960s, she had become interested in psychic matters, and had read what she could find on paranormal phenomena. In July 1968 Candy had talked Ray into trying the ouija board with her. A spirit entity named Tawa came through and identified himself as their son's spiritual teacher. He and Mikol had been together on earth in a previous incarnation as Native Americas some 400 years ago. In September, though the ouija board, Tawa asked about using Ray's vocal cords to speak. Permission was granted, and Ray began channeling material from Tawa. The communications from Tawa continued for two years. They were recorded and later transcribed. The last session was on December 29, 1970.

The Fletchers did little with the material through the 1970s. Then in 1979, Ray had a massive heart attack. He also had an accompanying out-of-body experience during which he spoke to Tawa. His heart troubles continued even though he had a bypass operation in 1981. Meanwhile in 1979 he had also begun work on a book that summarized Tawa's teachings. The massive volume, Spirit In His Mind, was nearing completion in 1984 when the Fletchers decided to move to Montana. Before moving they incorporated the Circle of Power Spiritual Foundation to publish the book. Two months after relocating in Montana, Ray went into the hospital for an angiogram. However, the evening before the proceeding, as a result of prayer, he was healed of his heart problems. The angiogram could find none of the artery blockages previously reported.

Tawa's coming was to inaugurate the Second Coming of Christ whom he said was then living in the Middle East. The person did not yet know he was the Christ and the Christ essence had yet to enter him. He would soon awaken to his mission and identify himself and would be much revered. However, before that happened, the Antichrist, living in England, would identify himself, and exercise power for one year. The Fletchers were told that they were part of a chosen circle of followers who are messengers of the Second Coming.

Spirit in His Mind and several other lesser volumes published soon afterward were the means of announcing the Second Coming. However, by the end of the 1990s, the Circle had disappeared and nothing was heard of the Fletchers, Tawa, or the coming messiah through the 1990s. It is assumed that the predictions of his arrival proved incorrect and the Circle has disbanded.
