Urgency of the research. In today's context, the interest to understanding the problems of the soul, spirit and spirituality in the discourse of the postmodern socio-cultural field of Ukraine is extremely relevant. Therefore, the coverage of religious-anthropological view of the prominent Ukrainian philosopher and scholar V. F. Voyno-Yasenetsky is extremely important for the researchers of transcendental experience.
Target setting. Religious and anthropological topics are rather inexhaustible, because they involve the question of the interaction of the meaning of human being with such phenomena as life, freedom, choice, responsibility, soul, eternity. In this context, the coverage of the problem of the organic integrity of the human essence requires the study of the relationship between the physical, the mental and the spiritual.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The scholars analyzing the scientific achievements of Archbishop Luke include the following: L. V. Khalezova, N. S. Maiorova, S. P. Lohinov, I. E. Dytkivska, V. M. Ivanov, A. V. Isaieva, I. M. Stepanova, V. S. Ahapov, Ye. M. Ivliieva, Ye. V. Vyshlov, Ye. I. Buzghan, T. I. Lipich, A. S. Lytvynenko and others.
The research objective. The study aims to analyze the relationship between spirit, soul and body and to determine the features of their relationship in the religious and anthropological thought of V. F. Voyno-Yasenetsky and consider the concept of "spiritual energy" in the trichotomous basis of human essence.
The statement of basic material. The essence of human nature in the context of the work of St. Luka Krymskiy "Spirit, soul and body" is showed up in the form of a pyramid, the top of which is headed by the spirit and at the heart of which is the material body. In this direction it is determined that the spirit itself is the true essence of man, and the soul and body only act as intermediary between him and the world, shaping and directing him in his development towards good or evil. The interaction between them occurs at the point of the act of human consciousness. It should be noted that, according to St. Luke, the spirit is only a partially autonomous unit, and can only exist independently from the body and the soul.
Conclusions. It is determined that in the flow of the philosopher's thinking there is a concept of "spiritual energy", which in the process of synthesis of spirit and form creates a visible universe by matching the spiritual content of the subject reality. Given the fact that the doctrine of "spiritual energy" completely rejects the postulate of eternal matter and replaces it with energy in its various manifestations, it would be legitimate to consider further the interaction of the human spirit with the manifestations of spiritual energy.
