Summary/Abstract: The article examines the transmission of spiritual and cultural heritage as an act of continuity that enables the human person to confront the reality of death. The author identifies the conflict between generations as both a historical and an ontological obstacle, one intensified by the Fall, yet capable of being overcome through gentleness and wisdom. The article also offers a critical examination of several contemporary ideologies (such as multiverse, meta-humanity, reincarnation), arguing that they depersonalize the individual and promise a false form of boundlessness, in contrast to deification (theosis) in Christ. The unity of generations, the author contends, can be achieved only in Christ, the Cornerstone, through dogma and love. The author proposes a pedagogical method grounded in humble listening and in recognizing the elements of truth in the ideas of young people, to guide them toward an understanding of integral truth in its practical, scientific, and theological dimensions.
