Ideas on Mystical Theology

"For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought."
-Audre Lorde


If, one uses more mystical language to predicate ones concept of God, this then expresses the same reality of the "science of God" and is then, of course, a genuine Theological school, if not more so, for it in some way grasps the beauty and provides an apprehension of the fullness of God insofar as the mind is capable, having the capacity to be just as close to truth as technical semantical language, if only from a different and no less true perspective, and hence should not be dismissed as mere Mysticism.
