Rubedo

Rubedo is a term derived from alchemy, symbolizing the final stage of a transformative process where the substance is purified and perfected. In broader contexts, particularly in philosophy and psychology, it represents achieving a harmonious balance between opposing forces, leading to completeness and enlightenment. Often associated with the culmination of personal growth or spiritual development, Rubedo signifies the attainment of one's highest potential, resembling the integration of intellect and emotion, or the conscious and unconscious mind. Essentially, it represents the realization of true self and mastery over one’s inner journey.
