Abstract
Genuine spirituality and religiosity in modern society are undergoing incredible transformations. On the one hand, traditional family values are threatened by the Western liberal agenda, which openly levels the institution of the family and offers new non-traditional forms that clearly contradict the historical development of mankind. On the other hand, religion itself in the West is changing so radically that what is abnormal and frankly sinful is recognized as normal and in demand. In some cases, it is necessary to talk about mental illness, but when this becomes a widespread trend, it is necessary not only to sound the alarm, but to try as quickly as possible to find out what is the reason for such cardinal changes in the structure of human society and how it is possible, if possible, to get out of this impasse? Is real religious faith possible today? We are sure that the causes of the spiritual crisis must be sought in person himself - the external person - who develops mainly according to the principle of the inclinations of the flesh. The centuries-old experience of the Orthodox tradition can help us understand this.
