Union at the End of the Work
The Marriage unites Heaven and Earth, Christ and soul, masculine and feminine, Spirit and matter, King and Kingdom, Logos and Sophia. It is the coniunctio completing the alchemical Work. At the macro level Revelation passes through nigredo—collapse; albedo—purification and judgment; citrinitas—illumination and unveiling; rubedo—Marriage and integrated Life; auredo—New Jerusalem, divine radiance, and Crown of Life. Union, not isolated ego, becomes the source of New Creation.
