Orthodox Spirituality: Reboot. Outlines of Internal Reform

Is a reboot possible for an Orthodox person living under the cover of tradition, taught the correct experience of knowing God? Whether it is possible or not, it is necessary, says priest, philosopher, and psychologist Vyacheslav Rubsky. The repetition of... ancient formulas and practices increasingly moves away from pressing reality, and the wineskins in which new wine was once poured become obsolete. To live a vibrant spiritual life, one must reboot—be born anew at each new stage, move forward, and see the world with fresh eyes. God expects us to be vigilant, to seek Him everywhere, and to desire a personal encounter with Him.
