The starting point for my reflections is a thesis in the sociology of religion that the Mysticism-type of organization of religious experience (Ernst Troeltsch) and the related "spiritual revolution" (Linda Woodhead) are expression of religious autonomy, advancing individualization, and the weakening influence of church institutions on human life decisions in (late) modernity. In the context of so-called holistic spirituality, there is also the narrative of "moments of decision", of the time "before and after", of "turning points", but they are interpreted not as a collective approach to salvation, but as a way out of a state of individual uncertainty through the search for meaning in the Self. The paper will problematize this radically de-apocalypticized perspective on kairos with its internal tensions and contradictions arising from the disappearance of the Christian regime of historicity (François Hartog). From a methodological point of view, I proceed from the assumption that understanding this subjective transformation of kairos can be revealed through "the function of religion in ordering life history" (Monika Wohlrab-Sahr). The empirical basis for my reflections is narrative interviews with Bulgarians who practice some form of holistic spirituality. Biographical studies avoid reductionist explanations and simplistic labels of spirituality and place the respondents' perspective and their self-definition at the center of sociological analysis.
