Abstract. This article presents the first experience of reflection, the first intuition of events related to the 2020 pandemic. Basing on the concept of Mikhail Epstein about the productive value of purification as a result of disengagement with the environment the author tries to identify constructive moments of self-isolation in a society in a state of uncertainty, risk, danger, which makes us understand how fragile human life is and how important selfpreservation of the individual is for reducing tension and optimizing activities in the outside world. Forced selfisolation for everyone indicates global problems, the need to change the collective consciousness. The author believes that there is a dependence relation between the human condition and the surrounding reality. To describe it, Carl Gustav Jung used the concept of synchronicity. Important aspects of this connection are considered in the synergetic picture of the world, they are comprehended thanks to discoveries in quantum physics. It reveals itself in the concept of the actualized personality of Abraham Maslow. In this situation, spiritual experience and knowledge, intellectual search and transcendental experiences are important contributing to the restoration of internal balance necessary for choosing the right strategies in the external world. It is emphasized that in the period of global social transformation large-scale intensive development of information and communication technologies, when the results of communicative intentions can be repeatedly strengthened, acquire autonomy and unpredictable character, the degree of responsibility for the actions, words, actions, thoughts increases. The situation requires an attentive and environmentally friendly attitude to yourself, your loved ones, and the world as a whole. Isolation is considered as one of the conditions of change necessary for internal growth.
Key words: social isolation, self-preservation, personality, spiritual potential, purification.
