===Opening===
 
MANTUTIA (T/R-Sheila): I am Mantutia. I am here this evening to wish our newcomers a wundefer journey. (At the mispronunciation of "wonderful", Jill cracked up laughing. Sheila said, "He said it much better than that, really. I heard it beautifully." Then we all lost it. At least 15 minutes of uproarious laughing then took place. We followed with a discussion before starting transmissions again.)

AARON (T/R-Sheila): Hello, I am Aaron. (Group welcomes him.) You are several steps ahead of me today, for a good lesson to start with is always about humor and you have already passed the test. We still are curious about what gets you started, but after 5 or 10 minutes of it, we begin to join in. How long can you do that for? (Group laughter, AGAIN.)

===Lesson===
 
I, too, would like to welcome and hope that I will be part of three new relationships because you know that is what we do here. We learn about relationships. Becoming skillful in relationships brings about a greater depth of the relationship with yourself. Think of the difference between talking about the weather. Sometimes it can be approached as just a greeting while other times it can be discussed while looking up and really getting to know the sky and the clouds and the wind. The relationship with the self can be the same. It can be an idea or it can be a deep revelation. Do not be afraid of getting to know your deeper self through others. An amazing thing happens when you truly listen with your Heart.

You each are intrinsic parts of a much larger picture and your willing participation in the unveiling of this picture is of Supreme value to all personalities in all of the vast universe. Alone here on this frightened and confused world, you may think of your life as relatively insignificant but I assure you, each and every one, there is nothing further from the truth. Your individual significance is a part of God's over-all plan. Your cooperation continues to help the plan to unfold, to mature. As was said earlier, it is all about relationship-with yourselves, with one another, with us, with God.
