Abraham Maslow, the famed psychologist known for his hierarchy of needs, reportedly indicated that beyond “self-actualization” at the top of his needs pyramid, was another level – he called this level ‘transcendence.’Whereas self-actualization involves realizing your personal potential, self-fulfillment, and seeking personal growth and peak experiences, “transcendence” is abouthelping OTHERS self-actualize.This is where the magic really begins.One of the members of my
Phenomenal Entrepreneur Coaching Circle, Don Smith, built a very successful business before discovering his love for service work. Using his own money, he has helped establish over 30 orphanages in both Africa and the Philippines as well as creating reading programs for women’s groups in these areas. To hear Don speak of his mission is to be transformed. To feel the power of his heart is to transcend one’s own personal concerns and connect with the larger family that makes up our beautiful planet. As soon as his new web site is ready, I will let you know how you can participate in his incredible, transcendent vision if it speaks to you.Another coaching member discovered Don’s work and knew that helping him was her own form of transcendence. She is on fire, connected to her Life Purpose and making a big difference in the world. She is feeling the magic that comes from knowing and living her Life Purpose.Here are 3 steps to unleash your inner magic and TRANSCEND:
#1 Discover Your Life Purpose and EXPAND
Are you expanding or contracting - financially, physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually?#2 Make a Plan for Your Life Purpose and TRANSFORM
I had a client – let’s call her Amy – whose Life Purpose is “Transformational Healer in the Spotlight with a Message.”
I said, “Well, how often are you out there speaking to live groups?”
She said, “I’m not.”
We finished our session together and she said, “So, can you tell me about my business?”
I could feel her confusion. That’s how denial works. We sometimes don’t want to see the obvious, natural and EASY step because it can feel uncomfortable. My suggestion to her was to schedule speaking twice a month and send out her newsletter once a month by mail to begin building her ongoing dialogue with her clients. By making this plan and implementing it, she found traction, momentum and commitment to her dream. This began her transformation into the life she really wanted to live!#3 Live Your Life Purpose and TRANSCEND
As you continue to express your Life Purpose in all you do and all that you are, you may find that just fulfilling your own goals of a great relationship, glowing health, a nice home, etc. is NOT enough. You are maybe a little bored or frustrated. This is a sign that you want to help OTHERS fulfill their purposes. This the
KEY to transcendence and REAL magic in your life. When you set out BEFORE you have all the money, evidence, proof and support to help others, the help comes. When Don committed to working in Africa, he had no idea how to do it. Once he was there and committed to his project, the money, help and opportunities began rolling in to support his dream. But not BEFORE…AFTER he said YES to his purpose.
The formula goes like this:
“I’m confused. > Found my Life Purpose! (expand) > Living my dream life! (transform)> Helping others live their dream lives! > Transcendence!”
If you are READY to transform your life and be an agent of transcendence, don’t miss my Life Purpose Spiritual Summit. You will experience an entirely new way of being in the world. I’ve even seen the room glow with the energy created by people embracing their true paths in the world!

Subject: Hello
Dear Don
Attached please find pictures of Frazers church building, picture one is showing the fallen church building after the storm, pictures 2,3,and 4 are showing the torn iron sheets, the roof flew and fell on the neighbors yard some into the fields they were completely damaged as you can see in these pictures. His building was not the only one affected, houses, trees and some churches were also affected. They are now meeting in the thatched shelter that you see in picture 7 and picture 11. Picture 8 is showing the Thatch church and the newly build one under construction. Picture 9 and 10 is how the building looks now. It is very good that you are roofing it Don because we need Frazer to be hundred percent on our side.
Winter is back so I went with the balaka women to give out some warm clothes to our Granny lady, the picture shows me helping her to dress up and the others are showing her happy with her new jersey and more to keep her warm. We also went to give some clothes to Cecilia she was very grateful and so was her mother that she gave us a chicken, the one you see us holding in the picture.
We also went to see Zephaniah, she is now in standard 6 and doing very well. Her mother always sheds tears of joy when ever we visit them. She calls us angel, she says thanks to you for giving her daughter a chance to live a her life like a normal child because of the wheel chair you gave her, she started going to school and ever since then their lives changed for the better.
I went to Naphungo Mulanje with Sibongile just to show her what I do. I took a bag of maize for the orphan’s porridge and a bale of sugar. In the pictures you will see a lady receiving the maize and pastor Machemba receiving the bale of sugar. I also took some packets of corn snacks which I gave to the kids as treats, they always love that. They sang nursery songs, they told us stories they learn, it was a wonderful time as always. You will see Sibongile in the group photo we took with the kids.
In the pictures Agogo 1, 2 and 3 is this very old lady who leaves with her widowed daughter. You have not met this woman but her story is very sad. Her daughter does not have a child of her own and she is old herself and sick that she can’t take care of her mother. We saw her need and started helping her when ever we can with water and cleaning, in the picture we went to give her a blanket to keep her warm this winter. She could not believe that anyone could be so kind to her. It touches my soul to see people living under such conditions but the great news is what I always encourage them with about our God and his coming Kingdom.
I took Sibongile to Thyolo for another ladies meeting. She enjoyed it. We had a very nice time with the women there sharing the bible and reminding each other about the purpose of our group which is to serve God through serving the needy in our community, encouraging each other on family issues concerning husband, children and neighbors, leading by example by keeping our homes clean etc. You will see her in 2 of the Thyolo pictures too.
I have been with her to the other orphan school at Thyolo boma too.
I want to thank you Don for being there for me and these people, if it were not for you I was not going to manage to do even a fraction of what I do now. May God bless you in everything you do.
Thank you so much
Love Linda
And……Second compelling reason
Dear Don

I had to go to the hospital the next morning and the diagnosed flu, it was connected with my eyes, I was so sick got better on Saturday and I said I was going to send this first thing Monday, only to receive a message that my cousin Gugu had just died (My late cousin Miriam’s brother, I am not sure whether you will remember him but I took you to my aunts house and you counseled with him). She relies on me so much so I rushed to be with her only got freed yesterday I am so sorry I know I promised to send this last week, please forgive me. I hope you had a safe trip back home please call when you can.
Love
Linda
A VISIT AT NCHIRAMWERA VILLAGE
On the 24th of 0ctober we visited Nchiramwera ladies group and saw how they take care of orphans in their village. This church is under Pastor Livayi in Thyolo district, his wife mai busa Livayi is the leader of the ladies group followed by Mrs. Catherine Kholiyo who is a teacher and helps with the adult learning class they are very kind and dedicated ladies together with rest of the team. The village chief Nchiramwera was there at the meeting, she talked about the general needs in her village and the impact of this ladies group in her village.
The following is the list of their needs as you requested;
They need paint to paint their newly plastered walls to make the room brighter for the children to be able to see clearly.
They need help with cement and iron sheets to build a kitchen, right now they cook outside at an open fire which is very difficult especially this time with the rains, and this has caused problems with the government health department. They have burnt bricks ready for the building project.
They were planning to close the school until after harvest season because of lack of food, thank you very much for offering to help them.
They asked for help with uniforms, that way all the children will look equal whether it’s an orphan or not.
They need plates, cups and spoons. At the moment they ask the kids to bring from home most of them eat their porridge with their hands because they don’t have spoons some wait for a brother or sister to eat first so they can use the same plate.
They would like to thank you for helping them with a concrete floor, learning materials, sugar for porridge and the other gifts you took to them. The also want to thank you for visiting them and would like to ask you to visit them next time you come.
2ND VISIT AT CHIGUMULA CHURCH
On the 25th October we visited Pastor Christine Magombos church where you spoke to a small group of people, this was because the government officials came to this village to distribute fertilizer coupons to the villagers so most of the church members went there but the small group that remained was very attentive and we could tell that they were happy and understanding the message, If you remember you had asked me to ask them if you should stop and let them go and join the others and they said no the coupon can wait, they wanted to hear all that you had planned for them, I was encouraged. After you finished they didn’t rush out since the message was heard instead they started commenting on the message relating to their life experiences. It was a great time.
You asked them about their need and they asked for;
Help with cement to seal the remaining gaps around the roof and for the floor.
Help with doors for security and to keep the place dry when it rains.
Help with food to feed the orphans, you had suggested feeding the children three meals for the whole day and they were very happy and said they would be grateful if that could be done, we settled for one meal feeds for now.
They asked for children learning materials and toys if possible.
3RD VISIT AT MILONDE CHURCH
On the 27th October we visited Pastor Maxwell’s church ladies group, they presented us with reports of how their group is progressing. They have benefited a lot from the small business program which you helped them establish. This time business is off peak but they still have their capital banked with their treasure and they were thinking of using the money to fix their church floor but they have been advised to keep their capital for the next peak season which is what they will do. They have been able to help build and roof a house for an elderly and very poor man in their village from their business profits. (I use the term very poor for as you know the average Malawian live below poverty line). After getting the reports from the ladies, the men joined in and you spoke to all of them. We had another wonderful meeting.
1. We did not ask them to give out their needs so I do not have anything to report on apart from what Maxwell added when closing that they will ask you to help them with more money to add to their capital so they can include more ladies in the program during the business peak time.
2. He also mentioned that they need cement for the vestry room floor, on this point you asked why the ladies group should do that instead of the whole church, and he liked your idea and echoed it to the other members, they have agreed to do something as a church to raise money for such projects every year.
4th VISIT AT CHITSA CHURCH
On the 28th October we visited pastor Luciasi’s church. The members of this church had bricks burnt and ready for help to build a their church so this year they just decided to start their building using mad instead of cement, the day we got there they had just finished the wall and ready to start thatching the roof with grass. They had the grass and tree branches ready for the work when we got there and thank God for the blessing of iron sheet roof you gave them. They did not expect it, and they are still amazed with what God has done for them. I received reports that they have finished putting their roof and I will take some pictures of it to send to you.
Whilst at this church the ladies group which is led by pastor Luciasi’s wife, mai Luciasi gave us a report of what they do in their area. She talked about the time they set aside for their group’s meetings and sharing, and the services they give to the old people and people who are taking care of orphans. They draw water for them, clean their homes and help in their gardens. You later on shared the message, everybody was very attentive it was another wonderful sermon we had. Sarafina was very touched too that she gave a testimony of how the message affected her, she referred to an incident that happened sometime back.
5TH VISIT AT JEDENI CHURCH
On the 29th October we visited pastor Bosiko’s church. This is the church which is neatly thatched and you commented about their good job done to the pastor and the members. It was also my first time to this church. We literally had to drive in the bush to get there, fortunately the road was not too bad.
Here you addressed the congregation and again the meeting was very good. You takled about how much the ladies were doing everywhere The people of this church were very happy and felt greatly honored to have you visit them. This is one of the churches that have been neglected, they have never been visited by a white man before (I know this wont offend you), just to be sure I will say, or a black man from overseas before.
6TH VISIT AT PHALULA CHURCH
On the 30th October we visited pastor Frasier’s church. We had a short meeting in the church then we went to visit some of the people who are being helped by phalula ladies group.
Ø We started with agogo Nabengo. This agogo (grandmother) has been suffering for a long time. She is very old and weak so the ladies collect water, clean her room and do her laundry. She does not have kids of her own but she raised up her nieces and nephews and grand children, it is very sad that their has been some death in her family (this is very common now hence the number of orphans due to AIDS), however because of some African witchcraft beliefs she is being blamed of bewitching all those who are dying. This has made them speak bad things to her, they don’t give her food, and they beat her up. We have been visiting her regularly, we supply her with some groceries when we can and share words of encouragement to sustain her sanity. She wants to move but has no strength or money to build a house, so we have plans to build a house for her somewhere near pastor Frazier’s house for easier access.
Ø Then we visited Zephaniah. This girl suffered from polio when she was two years old, the disease attacked her limps. You and helped her with a wheel chair through the Ladies group which helped her so much that she stared going to school. She is a very bright girl according to her school reports, she is in standard 5 now.
Ø We then visited another agogo (granny), agogo Anatchyuma. She was very happy that you visited her, she always tries to speak English even though she doesn’t know it. We clean and collect water for her. She stays with her son near by now, unfortunately he is not healthy therefore not strong enough to be able to help her. She danced and joked of how she was going to come to America with you and teach you to dance had she been younger. She has a very good sense of humor. She suspects that her skin problem are after effect of the job she used to do for a very long time when she was younger, making salt from boiling salty water. She never used to be like this before but now I believe I am because of the love she receives from the ladies that gave her reason to smile and joke again. We had a fun visit with her member together with her son.
Ø We visited Cecilia, she is 18 years old and physically challenged. You helped her with a pair of clutches which is something that changed her life forever, she is able to walk to school easily and will be writing her high school graduating examinations next year. We help her with a supply of school books and pens just to make it easier for her and to encourage her. We want her to be an example to most of the girls and parents who still think that education is not for a girl child.
Ø We ended with a visit to Mai Loveness’s house to see her husband Mr. Bauti. It was dark so you were not able to take pictures of his new roof. This man is a very good and hard working man, he is physically challenged but that doesn’t make him beg, he works hard as a tinsmith making pails and other thing to be able to feed and cloth his family. His wife is one of the leading ladies of this ladies group, she never complains about anything she is just happy and always speaks highly of her husband.
7TH VISIT AT NAMPHUNGO CHURCH
On the 3rd November we visited pastor Machemba’s church. Mai busa Machemba is the leader of the ladies group here among other things this group has a well organized orphan care program. All the children have uniforms which were bought for them with money contributed for long time just so the children will look the same and neat. We found the orphans in class and saw how they teach them, we also saw how they feed them. We gave pastor Machemba money to buy food to feed the people on our visit day, he instead used that money to buy a bag of maize for porridge and sugar for the orphans. They had finished all the maize they had that they too were closing the school to open again after the next harvest season next year. You gave them money for another bag of maize to last them the whole month and told them that you will be helping them with food. They are also asking for help of cement and iron sheet so they can build a kitchen at the moment the cook outside which is very difficult now with the rains coming.
May God bless you for all that you are doing for us Don.
Linda
Mark and Baeth don,t worry if you feel this request is not in keeping with your intent, I realize it may not be fair to the others, I understand and respect your decision I can always bring Linda over another time, and I will not have my feelings hurt. So please decide with a free mind and no fear.
I would love to attend your workshop in Las Vegas because it is time! I have many true gifts to offer the world, I’ve been a teacher, a workshop leader, a healer and a writer. I however have NO business acumen and so my gifts go unreceived. Those who could benefit do not know I exist although I have blogged on-line, sent out postcards, created workshops, created social networks, written articles, paid for web-portals, gone to the wonderful “Rejuvenate your Practice” weekend, etc… I want to contribute, want ” the people who have been waiting for me” as Jesse kept repeating, to hear me, to see me so that I can offer them the help they need to become their true selves, their ultimate beautiful and joyous selves, and discover their ecstatic birthright. Please help me do this!
I can’t wait for your June Summit!!
I deserve to be in Baeth Davis event because even though I had to live through abuse(physical, emotional) I didn’t lose in touch with my magic. There was something inside in me that believed in my magic. Even during the most difficult times, I held the vision for my greatness. I remember times when I didn’t have energy to get up from the pain of beatings and emotional scars yet there was something in me that believed in me. I remember looking at my bleeding face and thinking I am a Goddess. I looked at my 16 year old face with the scars left from the scratches from the finger nails of my ex-husband, tears running down my cheeks, and when I looked into my own eyes, even during that time I saw a Goddess. I could look into my soul from my eyes. The spark of hope and soul vision was there.
And now years later, I am dancing with my dreams. I have come a long way and would love to be a part of this amazing event.
I am ready to turn my life into an enchantress who guides other woman and assist them to live their greatness, beauty and brilliance.
Dear Baeth, I was compelled to comment on this specific story for a few reasons. I recently emptied out my heart (as well as the last penny in my savings account, close to 20k) to help fund a man who is also building orphanages in Africa. I stepped out in faith, knowing that many, many homeless children will be blessed with a home and come to know the Lord from this donation. I then find out about your spiritual summit and know immediately from listening to the call with you and Sharla that it is in my destiny to be there! I fell in love with you from the moment I heard you speak because you do so from such an authentic place,which has been something that I have struggled with. I truly believe I am also in the school of love and constantly wrestle with not speaking up as to not be judged, which makes me feel like I am burying my talents. I need to be able to raise above this fear with love (there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear) because I know I have so much love to contribute. I am starting a non-profit art business called Lovel Art, where all of the art and art products are there to edify the community in God’s unconditional, eternal, agape love (charity). I believe that the goal of life is charity and hold a vision to heal the world (starting in SD) through love with my art business. As I develop the business plan I realize there are so many directions I could go with it but I need to know exactly what my unique talents and gifts are so that I can stay true to my unique purpose to have the most positive impact. I have been to several spiritual seminars but I know deep in my spirit that yours is the ONE that will propel me into my spiritual destiny. I have been hanging on every word you have said since I was first introduced to you on that call with Sharla and it is the deepest desire of my heart to be your disciple. I feel so much love from you that it has really made me believe that I too can raise to such a beautiful place so that I can be that change of love I wish to see in the world, as Gandhi so beautifully said. For this once in a life time opportunity, I thank you from the height, length, depth, and width of my charity breathing heart. May God Bless you richly Baeth Davis!
I recently discovered you and ordered your Money in your Hands CD. I loved it and am looking forward to having my hands read as soon as I have the money put aside.
I left my job two and a half months ago which was a difficult decision since I have been living paycheck to paycheck and have no savings to fall back on and paying off debt. Several of my friends thought I was crazy and told me to find another job before I left my current one, especially in this economy. I knew I needed a break and to truly find what I was looking for I needed the time off. Jumping right into another job wasn’t the solution.
I have spent the time hiking, reading spiritual and empowering books, listening to teleseminars and doing a work trade with my acupuncturist to address health concerns which manifested in the last year of my job.
I know I am talented, but I have struggled with my life’s purpose. I have so many interests and feel like it would take many lifetimes to pursue them all or I would need to clone myself. I have always been envious of people that have known exactly what they want to do and part of me feels that if I pick one thing, I am giving up on all the other things.
What really hit home to me on your CD was where you talked about your life’s purpose and if you were truly living your life’s purpose you wouldn’t be struggling. As one who has struggled, I am ready to be free and live my dreams.
If chosen to attend your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit, I would feel blessed, honored and know there was a larger hand guiding me
. I would commit fully to learning everything I can to create the life of my dreams.
Dear Baeth,
After having a private practice for almost 30 years in the holistic health/healing field I closed up shop and moved half way across the country to be with a man I felt I could share my life and my dreams with. Six months later we moved clear across the county to be closer to his then 10 year old son and have been married now for a year and a half.
Sadly the marriage has been extremely disappointing especially when for the last year he has been drowning his business failures into twelve hours or more a day of playing an online video game. After months of struggling to support him in getting out of his depression, and using my savings to support myself, I realize I have been going down with the ship, so to speak, and slowly drowning myself!
Some days I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and do not recognize who this person is I have become. I ask myself, “what happened to the person who once felt a wellspring of love and support for others and was a light for their personal passage to health and well being?”
I came to realize even when you love someone you cannot help them change unless they truly want to receive. So, I went to visit a dear friend out in the country to muster up the strength and courage to let go of the marriage and move forward with creating a new life.
I listened to one of your CDs on the trip and for the first time had a shift in understanding about the fact that taking care of myself first is the only way I can ever take care of anyone else! Wow! I can see now how out of touch with my self and my own needs and hearts desires I have become.
The decision to separate/divorce and move forward in creating a new life feels right and yet I am now faced with all the questions and fears of what next? I havent worked in years, have no income and dont know how long I can live off of what savings I have left after starting over.
Even though taking this jump feels right, I also know it sometimes takes a village to do something extraordinary. I feel I have manifested my hearts desire before, yet seem to fall short when it comes to creating self-sustaining personal abundance for myself and not just others.
I feel in my heart I have the potential to be a successful, innovative healer and still somehow am not getting the HOW of being in the world this way! Your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit being held in Las Vegas feels like an amazing opportunity to be surrounded and supported by incredible inspirational people and will supply the know how to access the strength and clarity I need to move forward into the world with new found commitment to my life’s purpose!
If I were to receive this free ticket I know that the blessings I will come away with personally will go back out into the world a thousand fold. I am ready to transform and spread my wings Baeth! Show me the way!
In gratitude, Desiree
Hi, Baeth!
I would be honored to have the opportunity to attend your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit!
I must tell you that I’ve been working very hard this past year. I’ve been busting through my fear, doubt, and worry, gliding forward in faith and inspiration for the past 11 months. I have made such strides and am enjoying much success!
Just one component is missing…and that is my connection with YOU! I’ve known for some time that I would love to learn from you, and I know that we will enjoy a strong connection when we meet!
This evening, I stopped for a moment to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect. I thought about the strides I have taken this year stepping into my intuitive calling. I have been struggling with a debilitating muscle disorder but instead of giving into it, I have used it as an opportunity to design a new career for myself.
My goals this past year were to work with Ali Brown, Christine Kloser, David Neagle, James Roche and Katrina Sawa. I sipped my wine tonight, thinking, “Okay, I’ve had the good fortune to achieve all of my training goals this year. The next step vital to my own personal growth as well as for my business is to work with Baeth. Now, how and when will I make that happen? That is the next thing I need to figure out. I’m sending it out to the Universe.”
Then I thought, “Okay I’m wiped from working hard today; I’m going to take the next hour off before my husband gets home from work.” I lasted for three minutes. “No,” I thought, “I’ve got to get back to the computer to see what I can accomplish in the next hour.”
Lo and behold, I immediately found your e-mail with an invitation to possibly receive a free ticket to your Summit! My heart began to race! Talk about an immediate answer!
I simply HAD to write you to request the opportunity to take you up on your generous offer!
Baeth, I work closely with college students, showing them how to achieve success in college and life…beyond their wildest dreams. I guide them through the vital life lessons that colleges don’t teach. I have a book coming out this spring, a very enthusiastic and responsive e-zine subscriber list (“Time-Tested Tips to Help You Love College!”) and a loyal college following (students, parents, and deans). I would be thrilled to share what I learn at your summit with my students to continue to help them live more fulfilling lives in college and beyond. And I would be honored to join forces with you as I share your gifts with my readers, subscribers, and clients.
Would you consider helping me achieve my goal of meeting you and studying with you? It would be my sincere honor and a dream come true to study under your tutelage — and as your guest — at your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit!
Thank you for this generous offer. I would be honored to have you select me as your guest!
You are remarkable,
-Lauren
Baeth,
Thank you for your time and interest in my “WHY”. Great Question! What is my “WHY”? As I read your E-Mail today it appeared there was some synchronicity I had to address. I’ve been following your quest calls and reading about your amazing talents. I even have your CD! The real test is the “WHY”! I’ve been authentically asking myself that question I mean really asking myself the question “WHY”. It’s not as easy as it seems. I wanted to share with you a poem I wrote the other day (coincidence).
Why would I ask myself?
If anything I’ve ever said was true
Why would I ask myself?
If my expectations have been to few
Why would I ask myself?
If I’ve ever loved myself at all
Why would I ask myself?
If I should lie to myself just to stall
why would I ask myself?
When I speak is it just another story
Why would I ask myself?
If when I give an explanation it ends with I’m sorry
Why would I ask myself?
If I can love myself as much as I love you
Why would I ask myself?
If I believed in myself there’d be nothing I couldn’t do
Why would I ask myself?
“WHY”
I felt compelled to write you and share this. I feel writing is a big part of my “WHY”. I have written many things I know I have been gifted with to share. Sending this to you is a big step. The search has been long and at times costly. Seminars Tele-seminars, schools the list goes on. All the while to teach others they have all their own answers. My parents and other “superiors” always had the same answer to my “WHY”. The answer would consistently be “Just because”. I realized as I was writing this I found my answer. Thank you in advance for the nudge. When I asked myself “WHY” you guessed it I thought “because”. Well it’s not just because it’s “JUST BE @ CAUSE” how about that! I think I’m on to something here. The answer has always been that simple. I have to wonder if it’s the way I’ve always just heard the words or my Internal Representation of where I have been in my life when I heard them. Most of my life I’ve been reactive and for the last several years proactive searching for my “WHY”. NOW my answer can be my “WHY” is to “JUST BE @ CAUSE” instead of” just because”. I’m so glad I read your E-Mail today and took the time to write you. “Be @ Cause” of that I discovered something new and clever. That tends to happen for me when I’m “Just @ Cause” and BEing. That was a great question for me today! While attending your seminar my goal would be to expand on the many dreams and visions I have to leave a legacy for changing the lives of young women and more experienced women in co-creating a world of inspiration and hope moving from the status of” Victim to Survivor” to the prestige of “Survivor to Victory”!
With Eternal Gratitude!

OK Beth here it is. I have recieved your workshop information for months now, thinking how can I make this happen. I know that I have been on purpose in my life. My passion is to help people come to a deeper understanding of their darkness thus illuminating the light in their life.
There is something that I am not getting. I am missing the mark some how. I know that I can play it bigger, however there is a block.
I question myself if I am truly living my purpose and expressing my passion….the outer manifestation says no. I am not in alignment with the energy of money. It comes into my life and goes just as quickly.
My intution says that this workshop will help me in moving out of this stuck place and allow the imprisioned splendor to come forth. The truth of who I am and how I can serve in a greater way.
From all that I have read about you and the work that you have done. I know that this Summit will be the catalyst for change in my life and clarity of vision and purpose.
I will be totally committed, present and play full out ….I am a winner.
Thank you.

Dear Beath,
I love the way you describe the steps to self-transcendance and I feel I want to be an agent of transcendence on a larger scale.
I would love to come to your Live Purpose Spiritual Summit, should you choose me as the winner!
I have already ordered a hand analysis from you and am waiting for your kit, but you see I was too afraid to sign up for the Summit! (I know….)
Too afraid to show up among lots of people, afraid of being seen, of being public.. I have been working for 20 years behind closed doors as a clinical counsellor and energy healer, working with the unconscious mind. I have witnessed miraculous transformations with hundreds of people in over 10’000 sessions.
But it was all private, hidden, secret, confidential, which was very easy for me, to a point I feel it’s getting too easy. So, recently I decided to “go public”, but then I watch myself avoid and procrastinate any action which would lead me closer to this goal.
To be invited to your Summit would be for me the ultimate challenge of my life! And if I am to be there and you invite me, then I absolutely will be there!! It would definitely accelerate my progress out of isolation and privacy, after twenty years! I can see myself with all of you, in my turquoise-purple dress. I could even offer you a Oneness Blessing as a start of a day. Well, maybe it would not be so bad after all.
In any case, I am looking forward to our session with your hand analysis, hoping you can pinpoint my specific target audience and message. And if I am the chosen one, then I totally believe I am meant to go public – something I still can doubt otherwise.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Light and Blessings,
Marlise Witschi
Why I think I should be the winner of the contest…
First of all, thank you for having this contest. Whether or not I win I want to honor your generosity.
Now, why should I win? It would be a dream come true for me. When I was 21 I experienced for the first time (albeit briefly) the how life feels when free of fear and full of love. Four years later my heart burst open with the recognition that all I want to do is love. And yet, something, something really big continues to hold me back. And I don’t know what it is.
I do know that whatever it is, if I can meet it and move through it, I have the power (through the grace of God, spirit, the universe) to bring tremendous love and joy to this planet. It feels so big just to say it. And I am soooo tired of playing small. I see you and I see my potential.
A weekend at your summit, I believe, would help unlock this mystery keeping my heart at bay and my fear alive. I want to win because I truly believe that my winning will help transform thousands and ultimately millions of lives – beginning with my own.
Thank you!!
Love,
Alison
The value of what you share will not only make a huge difference in my life but in the lives of everyone else I come in contact with. Using the information and insight you provide gives confidence and even more assuredness. I already have wisdom and skills to help other organize and redefine abd clairfy their own intentions. Helping others create more of their own life. I have a very strong desire to meet you and learn from you. Changing the spelling of your name quite an insight and seems to have made a big change.for all of us. It brought into the light for all of us. Deserve is an interesting word, I would wish to be of more service to others.
Dear Baeth,
On Feb 25th this year, I booked my flight to Europe with the intention to celebrate the 40th birthday of two of my beloved friends. Finally I thought to myself, looking forward to celebrate an event of their lives together, which takes place on June 6th.
So far I had always other commitments interfering, f. ex. I couldn’t attend their wedding, because I was the maid of honor for another beloved friend of mine on the same day. Same for the bachelorette party, where I was invited to my cousins wedding, so it goes on and on for all the other big parties they arranged.
Two days later, Feb 27th I followed Coco’s invitation – whose Wisdomcircle I joined just one week earlier – to join your F*R*E*E series of FIVE teleseminars.
That’s when I heard about your Live Purpose Summit for the first time.
I still remember the feelings I had that day, on one hand I was ecstatic to discover a like-minded woman so close to my own environment – I reside in Tucson as well, on the other hand I was somehow disappointed that I could not join you for the Summit, sticking to the choice for staying connected to my beloved friends.
Since then almost 3 months have passed. 3 months full of excitement, experiencing lots of synchronized happenings and myself feeling so connected to source.
Thanks to Coco’s fabulous guided vizualisations lots of “subconciousness” bubbled on the surface.
Being on one of your Mastermind Calls,you dropped that I am called to be a “marvelous artist and teacher”. Even though we didn’t have a chance talking to each other – (I had a problem with my computer )- you sent the message, that gave confirmation to all of my inner callings.
I became extremely interested in the Tool of Fingerprintanalysis , started researching, ordered the books from Richard Unger and Ronelle Coburn and LOVE it.
I discovered lots of other tools on my way of Self Discovery, but this one is really fascinating and I also love the way you present it to the world. Not to mention how found I am of the idea to reach out to Washington.
Having a peacock on my left Mercury finger, makes me an “Inspirational” Artist which totally relates to all my doing recently. Raising the awareness and consciousness in people through my art is all reflected in the ideas I have for my “ligned up” projects.
And knowing that now, it really takes out the guesswork for me. I only have to make the choice on which project I want to work on and do it.
So here I am now, following my inner voice to take your invitation for a “give away” to participate at your Spiritual Summit.
To give you an answer for WHY I need the workshop – I simply allow myself to step into the unknown and let “the universe” through your choice tell me if there is something bigger waiting out for me which I am not aware yet.
To give you an answer How I will use your gift: Experiencing the wonderful energy you always mention will be definitely a big catalyst in my life, which will catapult my calling to lift the conciousness in other people on the next level. I feel a strong connection to you and your doing and sense a potential for a fruitful exchange and collaboration.
Lots of Love to you
Looking forward getting to know you
Renae
I want to thank you for your motivation and resurgence of inspiration you have offered me from listening to your tele- conference with Sharla last week. Attending your seminar and obtaining clarity as to how to best be of service to the global universe is what I am seeking. I have been on the cusp of creating a world of abundance and i live in the state of love and share the message of living in the love vibration with my contacts, those who I touch on a daily basis and those who I just smile at who are seeking guidance.
My personal struggle of self deserving and continued patterns of self sabotaging behavior have limited me in my ability to break through to the other side of abundance and prosperity. I have so many diversified interests and have trouble clarifying my direct path and finding focus. Do I coach business to their abundance through marketing and co creative endeavors with other like minded business owners. http://www.meetup.com/abundance.
Do I continue to help others find their authentic voice and raise their vibration through my drum circles and Sound Ascension work? Encouraging them to clear and detoxify their physical body to allow for the shift in cellular structure and Expansion Awareness to their higher self residing in this 3D reality. Walking their purpose on earth. http://www.meetup.com/drumsanddance
Do I promote myself as a Business/Market Psychic and channel of your higher self to provide clarity to your life purpose?
Do I write the marketing manuals, the Love Vibration books, hold the classes, teach the seminars, travel to expos and embrace my global teacher role?
My financial situation is grime, yet I do not fear. My house is in foreclosure, my gas is shut off and the other utilities are to follow. Yet I am not worried.
The universe is providing me with my clarity yet I am so immersed in my own shifting and evolving I am clueless as to where to begin and what basic course of action to take.
I am also battling the addiction to alcohol which has allowed me to sabotage myself and halt my progression. I am ready to be a wife, a mother and a leader to global Love in Business and i want to accept my greatness, abundance and light worker role on this planet.
I feel pulled in so many direction and I seem to freeze up and lose direction.
I have much to give and am fully ready to be of service in as many ways as I can to the greater good for all.
I need a mentor, a guide, a person such as yourself who gets it and knows how to support others to getting it.
I would be so blessed and honored for this opportunity to work with your team and I know that this investment would pay of 1000 fold for those i would touch in the future.
The highest purpose is always served and I am here to be of service. Help me understand and see with clarity and direction the path to achieving this so I may accelerate my purpose in the NOW.
Love & Light!
Infinite Love & Gratitude
Dear Baeth,
Thank you for your time and interest in my “WHY “I would love to be at your event!!. Great Question! What is my “WHY”? As I read your E-Mail today it appeared there was some synchronicity I had to address. I’ve been following your quest calls and reading about your amazing talents. I even have your CD! The real test is the “WHY”! I’ve been authentically asking myself that question I mean really asking myself the question “WHY”. It’s not as easy as it seems. I wanted to share with you a poem I wrote the other day (coincidence).
Why would I ask myself?
If anything I’ve ever said was true
Why would I ask myself?
If my expectations have been to few
Why would I ask myself?
If I’ve ever loved myself at all
Why would I ask myself?
If I should lie to myself just to stall
Why would I ask myself?
When I speak is it just another story
Why would I ask myself?
If when I give an explanation it ends with I’m sorry
Why would I ask myself?
If I can love myself as much as I love you
Why would I ask myself?
If I believed in myself there’d be nothing I couldn’t do
Why would I ask myself?
“WHY”
I felt compelled to write you and share this. I feel writing is a big part of my “WHY”. I have written many things I know I have been gifted with to share. Sending this to you is a big step. The search has been long and at times costly. Seminars Tele-seminars, schools the list goes on. All the while to teach others they have all their own answers. My parents and other “superiors” always had the same answer to my “WHY”. The answer would consistently be “Just because”. I realized as I was writing this I found my answer. Thank you in advance for the nudge. When I asked myself “WHY” you guessed it I thought “because”. Well it’s not just because it’s “JUST BE @ CAUSE” how about that! I think I’m on to something here. The answer has always been that simple. I have to wonder if it’s the way I’ve always just heard the words or my Internal Representation of where I have been in my life when I heard them. Most of my life I’ve been reactive and for the last several years proactive searching for my “WHY”. NOW my answer can be my “WHY” is to “JUST BE @ CAUSE” instead of” just because”. I’m so glad I read your E-Mail today and took the time to write you. “Be @ Cause” of that I discovered something new and clever. That tends to happen for me when I’m “Just @ Cause” and BEing. That was a great question for me today! While attending your seminar my goal would be to expand on the many dreams and visions I have to leave a legacy for changing the lives of young women and more experienced women in co-creating a world of inspiration and hope moving from the status of” Victim to Survivor” to the prestige of “Survivor to Victory”! It’s my dream to have a platform to share and bring hope and the inner strength to move through the most difficult of times. Weather its physical, emotional or spiritual. With my life’s experience and mountains of difficulties raising my children and surviving many life changing events. I can bring with the support of your inspiration and experience in teaching structure and success I’m all in! I would not disappoint you! It takes a team to change the world and love and hope to sustain it!
With Eternal Gratitude!

What a beautiful message and wonderful information.
Thank you
Baeth:
First off, thank you for stepping into your own beauty and gifts as through your efforts and example I am ready to step into my own.
For so long I have lived in fear–fear of what others will think, fear of being perceived as “selfish” fear that I will fall flat on my face and my biggest fear: “That I will not be able to get back up”
I’ve started so many things and then with the first sign of trouble I retreat–not just a little retreat but a massive pull and run the other way kind of thing. I have let time just pass me by as I search and hide from my own truth. It has lead me to places by default.
I’m done living my life by default, scarcity and fear and I am ready to live my life with certainty, abundance and knowing. I know that somewhere within myself there is an incredible message that I need to share with the world–will I be brave enough to share it? I believe so but I need my roadmap–my clarity of what it is that I am intended to be, to do and to have.
I know that within me there is a powerful message for me to deliver to so many that I see that are so much like myself. People who are not living their magic and beauty but who are merely choosing to live by default because that is all they know how to do.
Baeth: I am so ready to have clarity, to acknowledge and transform my fears, to hone my life’s message and bring others to the same point in their life where they no longer live by default but with passion, conviction, caring. In supporting myself and these people we can create a new way of living life–one that actually supports, encourages and nurtures people to stand up and say no to default.
I hope that I will be able to attend your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit this June so that I may finally close the door on what was and embrace fully what is really meant to be.
OK–so I really hope that I win–I already have my plane ticket and place to stay!
Kristina
Thanks so much for your insights. So much of what you provide strikes a cord.
The reason I need your L P S Summit is the amazing opportunity it presents:
to get me ‘unstuck’ from my past, present and future circumstances
to focus on the the whys and whens (now!) of my life and
to release me from the whos and whats and hows I get caught up in,
by finally surrendering control into The knowing, capable Hands of my Maker!
As for how I’d use what’s offered, if I’m to be true to myself and that commitment I have to say I don’t know. That’s the most exciting thing about it, and the real reason to go! I want to discover my real purpose for being me and doing what I’ve done to get to this point. I’m committed to the discovery… I do know if I go, what happens in Vegas will NOT stay in Vegas!
And why do I deserve to go? Well I guess I don’t. But all those around me, and those who’ve always had their confidence in me definitely do deserve to have me go to your conference. And if my heart of hearts is correct, there are a mind boggling number of others deserving and waiting for that too. It can’t be all about me. I need to learn to take care of myself as a means to another end.
Till now, I’ve been a luminary carpenter and dismal businessman. My livelihood has been sustained by the brute force of extraordinary and uncompromising craftsmanship. My passions are the distraction.
My partner and mother of my three children is a veteran in the Public Schools – talk about extraordinary and uncompromising! She’s a long time teacher of E.D. third, fourth and fifth graders (Emotionally Disabled, mostly inner city kids). She’s well equipped to deal with the likes of me!
Experiences in our daily dealings are amazingly similar. ‘Grownups’ often seem to be much like what they were as children, just bigger. I enjoy listening to and observing others. And I can learn so much about myself. Having passion for exploring, learning and problem-solving, I feel pretty self contained.
I’m not one who talks of no regrets. My poor decisions are many, but I believe I’ve been sustained for a purpose by prayers and faith passed through my family. Without struggle and failure it seems it would be hard to relate with and offer help to others in the same place.
One of the principles I rely on is developing the ability to turn my weaknesses into advantage. And isn’t advantage in some form what we’re all looking for? Whether moral, spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, there is always opportunity for improvement. We closed shop on the Garden of Eden long ago.
What remains is my passion to make full advantage of the new media to research, share and inspire positive change and blossom incredible potential. I’m convinced if I’m successful in achieving that in my own life there is a world full of other people who can do it too. Together we really can make the world a better place. I believe that to be my real challenge and frontier.
I devoured the book on CHEIROMANCY that was mentioned on your site. In it, the author mentions a personalized approach to education based on what can be learned from his methods. It’s only taken a century to start realizing it. I’ve read and spoken with many educators about similar approaches like the Seven Intelligences. And I’ve enjoyed being active in local school reform initiatives, and feel we’ve only scratched the surface. It’s about time we work past all the politics.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, this cowboy’s domain stands idle at 3rs.com. I’m so anxious to saddle up the ideas and concepts and hit the trail. My ultimate goal is to work harder toward responsible, optimized use of our resources, including renewed childhood/adulthood competencies, education, lifelong learning, self governance and accountability. If I could just get out of my own way.
You have my heartfelt thanks for your site, resources and the work you do. It’s just what’s needed to encourage and enable the transition and progress I’m seeking.
I’d have signed up for the four-pay option and brought a friend for free early on, but with my two oldest into college and the third coming up, it’s just too hard to justify that investment in myself right now. Even knowing it would likely solve the financial problems, I need to be conservative and accountable right now (aka out of character) to maintain the peace.
My whole life I’ve remained somewhat detached and unconcerned with present conditions, and feel gifted with great patience (sometimes too much!) in knowing I’m here for a much greater purpose. I firmly believe I’ve been lead to this time and place, and not just for me but for others. I know the catalyst will be provided in it’s own time. If your Summit is it, then I’m ready to go!
In any case, many thanks again.

Hello Baeth,
I am going to the Los Vegas Summit! Even though it is not in my budget nor could I find anyone willing to go with me. When I saw the enthusiasm in your face I knew this was something I have to do anyway. I have known since childhod that my mission in life is to teach others to A) be happy and B) that they can in fact create miracles. (so be happy.)
I have a business called Clear Your Path. I am an intuitive reader. I help people move pain and blocks out of their space and replinish that with what they truely want. I am the Healing Teacher at the South Bay Berkeley Psychic Institute. I also facilitate an affiliation of Professional Psychics and Healers at Church of Divine Man. (We are a nondenominational church in the parliment of world religions) Are mission is to unite spiritual healers in wellness to grow their business promoting healing, Miracles, and Evolution of the Human Spirit.
In Miracles and Enthusiasm, Judith Catalano.
Dear Baeth, I wanted to make it very clear that my comment was indeed an entry to win the ONE free spot in your spiritual summit seminar. I believe the synergy between your fervent love energy and mine will catapult my love-art business to bring about the greatest manifestation of the Spirit’s power and love the world has ever seen!

Hi Baeth and fellow bloggers,
I am writing to share a quick update on my application to the contest. When I was writing my application, I expressed a deep desire to clarify my own purpose so that I can more fully embody what I am meant to do and be of greater service. I also expressed wanting to expand the financial end of my business around what I thought was the limitation of being restricted to a Canadian market, so that I can develop a thriving practice and afford my husband some greater financial freedom to pursue a new direction in his work. Since writing and expressing my intention, I have done some further research and learned that I may in fact be able to reach a larger market than anticipated (still waiting on the final word- but it looks good) AND my husband has also been presented with a unique opportunity to replenish himself not only in his work but at a much deeper and personal level as well. So, I am writing this for three reasons 1) to simply to share with all of you yet another incredible example of the power of clear intention 2) to thank Baeth for the opportunity through this contest to express more of my purpose and desire and 3) to demonstrate, for the sake of this contest, just how thoroughly I use every opportunity to learn, grow, and open to greater truths and possibility–as I will definitely be doing with that free ticket should it come my way! So thank you and I wish all of you much abundance and success with all of the amazing and inspired endeavors that you are undertaking. Angela Croft
Wow! If I win, I definitely want to figure out how all the alternative health research I’ve done over the last 8 years should manifest in the real world to allow the most people to become aware of how they’re slowly but surely destroying their bodies in subtle and insidious ways and the behaviors they’re unaware of that contribute to degenerative health. This is much more incredible than most people realize, and the starting point is just past the obvious that no one thinks about unless they’re a researcher. I have speaking skills and I have passion. All I need is insight to put it all together. I’ve always been told I could do anything I wanted, because I’m really bright, but figuring out what’s appropriate has always been a stumbling block. Could you give me a hand, so to speak? Thank You Baeth from all corners of my heart. Ruth
Congratulations, Don & Linda,
May you be blessed with the new connections, knowledge, energy, insight, inspiration and motivation to move forward on your greater path!
Many Blessings,
Eileen
