It is noted that feature spiritual processes of the XXI century is the pursuit of humanism in philosophy, psychology, religious studies, and in all areas of human activity. The humanity principle is considered as love not for the distant person, it considered to his neighbor, the motherland, the entire environment. In modern conditions leveled the basic principles of humanism – the attitude of one person to another and attitude to living and nonliving.

Herewith are fundamental starting points of renowned resonance in the culture of special channels – religion, certain religious practices and morality. But the soil of any choice is human existence which is based on humanistic communication, which is manifested in «transtsenzus». “Transtsenzus” is the key of prayers, sermons, parables. It prepared all construction content, supported by all its means of illumination, correlated with higher values. The author argues that “trantsenzus” is purely religious experience, it can be as spontaneous aspect of the disclosure of real marginal or extreme situations.
