From God's perspective (The Absolute perspective), everything in existence is a result of His thought.  Everything is but a Dream in the mind of God.   However, from Humanity's perspective (The Relative perspective), everything in existence is Real, and what we call "Truth" is only a reflection of our highest (limited) understanding of things.  Thus all "Truths" (from our Relative perspective), are but half-truths, because Absolute Truth can only be known from the Absolute perspective.

The Danger lies in trying to take God's perspective when we can't yet walk the talk.  We presumptuously place our selves on the God side of the Divine Paradox, and act as if we're in control of the dream.  We imagine ourselves as Gods in our own fantasy.

This type of escapism is a lot more prevalent than one realizes.  For while this may be OK in harmless forms of recreation and escapism, this mentality can be very destructive in our lives  if we try to jump directly from our physical every-day lives into an imagined  state of (false) enlightenment.   We catch a first wiff of  Divine Truth, and we become "full of ourselves".  The ego becomes inflated and dresses itself with the trappings of enlightenment, but  the ego remains as yet unchanged.  Yet, as they say, "Pride goes before the fall."            

Like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, we (in our enthusiastic but naive understanding of the Divine Paradox) inevitably fall to earth, where we must learn how to climb our way up gradually.  This gradual method is called "Transmutation."  Put simply,  transmutation can be summed up in one well known aphorism:
