Origin of METANOIA
Greek, from metanoiein to change one's mind, repent, from meta- + noein to think, from nous mind
First Known Use: 1577
To some, the word “metanoia” holds the meaning of repentance. It also means an immense alteration of oneself in terms of mind, spirit, character, and morals. In this space, Metanoia is not just a word for spiritual transformation, but a complex design of pathways fitted into a singular, universal journey of truth. This journey passes through various mediums, providing a diverse means to understanding. Metanoia is the road souls are on in one form or another. It is traveled alone and on different paths, occasionally intersecting with those our souls are familiar with. Metanoia came about from nothing and is everything. At first this is difficult to grasp, but there are moments of clarity in life and spirit when the idea that nothing is something, and something can be anything, begins to make sense.
