This research intends to demonstrate that human beings in their maturing process set up symbolical and original personal manners making up a map where they place themselves and communicate with the world (people and environment). One of the subtle ways such symbols manifest themselves is through certain keywords they build up to translate meaningful aspects of themselves and their history. Their existential experiences go through complex subjective elaborations that stick to their conscious and unconscious levels as memories of which the hermeneutics is not always easily understood. Thus, the inventiveness of every human being creates its own symbolisms, which makes self-understanding easier and works out as a way to express other human beings his way of seeing and relating to himself, the world and the others, that is, his cosmogenesis and his cosmoview. This seems to a part of the complexity of psychic processes not subdued to conscious intentionality, thus distorting situations which do not allow clear and objective communication. Such processes generate conditionings that are accumulated all along personal history and become stalactites formed thanks to slow repetition and sedimentation of similar experiences, until they become aspects of personality itself. Such nuclei are communicated through attitudes and behaviors that are significant for the individual himself, but are not always deciphered in their true nature and meaning. Such nuclei usually keep not fully developed areas their reach, thus creating obstacles for the objective living of desires and/or ideals. They become psycho-dynamic nuclei having influence upon the individual s everyday life. In this paper our thesis is that such keywords are symbolical expressions of internalized contents in every individual, assuming the character of a way, not always conscious, of selfrevelation. In this thesis we concentrated on the analysis of keywords related to the individual s religiosity, and somehow to his vocation for religious life, since all individuals are theology students and aspire to presbyteriat in the Catholic Church. We analyzed propositions, phrases and words that, according to researched individuals, talk about the perception they have of their own beliefs, goals and life sense. On the conscious level, everyone has his own reasons to justify them. In our analysis we found that their keywords have meanings that are deeper than they themselves could suppose. Very often they were liked to conflicts and badly developed experiments in their inner selves, the meanings of which were masked by inconsistent psychological processes generating tensions. Therefore, the keywords offer an autobiography of the maturing process experienced by the individual. Thus, they stand for a clinically useful method for the individual to review his own history, which allows meaningful re-elaborations of himself and his religiosity
