How To Manifest Your Desires
Then he tells you that you have five husbands, and you deny it. But he knows far better than you that your five senses impregnate you morning, noon, and night with their limitations . They tell you what children you will bear tonight, tomorrow, and the days to come. For your five senses act like five husbands who constantly impregnate your consciousness, which is the great womb of GOD; and morning, noon, and night they suggest to you, and dictate to you that which you must accept as true. He tells you the one you would like to have for your husband is not your husband. In other words the sixth has not yet impregnated you. What you would like to be is denied by these five, and they hold the power, they dictate what you will accept as true. What you would like to accept has not yet penetrated your mind and impregnated your mind with its reality. He whom you call husband is really not your husband. You are not bearing his likeness. To bear his likeness is proof that you are his wife, at least you have known him intimately. You are not bearing the likeness of the sixth; you are only bearing the likeness of the five.
The 'five husbands' of the woman of Samaria represent the five physical senses, which constantly 'impregnate' one's consciousness with their limitations, dictating what is accepted as true. The 'sixth husband' is the desired state or concept of self that one wishes to embody. To manifest this desired state, one must allow it to 'impregnate' the mind with its reality, moving beyond the denials of the five senses and bearing its likeness.
