Definitions for "Metanoia"
This is the original term in Greek (often translated as "repent") which is at the root of the Christian message. As opposed to the idea of repentance which carries with it much moral and emotional connotation, metanoia signifies a turning or re-orientation of being and mind to an altogether different reality from the one we are used to. Precisely it means an inward reorientation of being and consciousness from the horizontal dimension to the vertical.
A social process of reflection and repentance conceptualized by Tanabe Hajime (1885-1962).
Metanoia is a limited edition album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released on vinyl in December, 1998. It is mostly made up of improvisations recorded during the Signify sessions, some of which were later shaped into songs. To help deter secondary- and black-market sales, the album was released on CD in December 2001 and re-issued again in 2006.
