When the notion of DIALECTIC is applied to the domain of spirituality,
it must be amplified to include more than the art of reasoning correctly, for what is at stake now is the whole problem of spiritual expression itself; before knowing how to reason, it is necessary to know how to express oneself, because spiritual DIALECTIC is first and foremost the capacity to give account in human language of realities that transcend, if not man’s mind, at least his earthly experience and his ordinary psychology. In other
words, DIALECTIC is not only a question of logic, it is also a question of verbal adequation; both things require principles and experience. (GTUFS: FormSR, Paradoxes of Spiritual Expression)
