Summary/Abstract: The methodological basis of the proposed considerations is the application of an philosophical and anthropological concept of transitivity proposed by Donald Winnicott, Wolfgang Welsch, Herbert Blumer (the hypotheses of symbolic interactionism), Fritz Schütze (strategy and biographical trajectories). In the texts of culture the principle of transitivity is expressed in developing the equivalence and isomorphicity of meanings, which allows simultaneous formulation of ontological, cognitive, psychological and aesthetic issues. In this way the commensurability and synergy between what is unconscious, superconscious, rational, perceptual, symbolic and religious are established. Linguistically the dynamics of the transit time and space is expressed in stylistic devices, stylistic, iconic characters and symbols. In the experience which is of a transit nature the time (such as the initiation into maturity) and the character/ the gender are not specified. It does not have the nature of a collective ritual either. Neither a return to a predetermined space or community, nor the quality of a change or transformation that is to take place in an individual are not assumed.
