You know, my Friends, how long since in my House
For a new Marriage I did make carouse:
Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,

And took the daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

We teach that you must make your body obedient so that another part of you, your 'name part' (the three brains or centres), becomes strong, then the name part has to become passive to the spirit – this is the new marriage. But up to this point, your reason must develop. This is the whole thrust about what we are teaching you about becoming balanced human beings. Reason is the most important attribute in your development, but it only pertains to the third dimension and has no function in the fifth dimension. This is why Omar says reason is barren. At a certain point it becomes sterile and can go no further.

In all religious teachings, whether Sufi, Hebrew, Hindu or Buddhist, it is understood that in the end you have to jump above the intellect if you are ever going to experience real understanding. You rid yourself of the intellect’s domination and jump, and by doing this you take the daughter of the vine and receive the 'blind understanding'.
