The brilliant transformation of gold from unrefined to refined, from hidden to exposed, is known as the Art of Radiant Refinement. It takes into account fire, both the actual heat that is used to purge impurities and the metaphorical hardships that eventually shape and refine the soul. Although gold has considerable value in its unprocessed form, only through intense refinement can it become beautiful. Similar to this, before we can radiate with complete clarity, humans, abilities, or ideas must face a challenge or static elements. Radiant refining is a technique and a metaphor: a metamorphosis of beauty.
