“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Give us a moment here… I am searching for a connection for you, concerning the past. A negative response dealing with Dr. Martin. Some, to me, indistinct connection between the strange young woman here with your friends, and Emma Martin. An old unpleasant association. You were uncomfortable, a child. Dr. Martin and his wife visited your parents. You cried, and you clearly heard Emma Martin tell your mother that she should not go to you, and then you would be quiet.

Your father used hay fever as a symptom of helplessness, and as a demand for the attention that he did not get, even then, from your mother. The pattern was set earlier in his childhood. He discarded the symptoms because they did not get him what he wanted. Your mother could not be bothered.

She did not comfort him as his mother had. You picked up the condition when he realized that it no longer served him. At that time you accepted it, however, along with your conception of what it was to be a male. If you had a son and did not know what you know, you would automatically so transfer it.

You are not helping your father, for the symptoms will not revert to him. Your system will simply reorganize the energy pattern. There was another element. Your mother treated you as hers exclusively. You also adopted the symptoms as a protective measure against her. You said in effect, “I am my father’s son, down to some of his defects.”

Yoga breathing will be of therapeutic value when you need it, but the knowledge gained in this evening’s session should go a long way toward minimizing the symptoms. (Smile.) You should avoid the color red in decorations during the season. You should take steps to realize the connection with your mother and red, so that our friend can use his red curtains at Christmas with immunity.

I believe a watch was somehow involved. He lost it, or someone broke it. It may have been his own father’s watch. Perhaps your mother broke it in anger, but I am not sure of this.

His appearance then reminded you of his appearance in hay fever season, and reinforced your own symptoms until they became a symbol of virility, since they were your father’s, and also a symbol of how a man could cry. You do not need such symptoms now.
