Transformation.

Metanoia is the Greek word for conversion: a "fundamental transformation of mind." It is the process by which concepts are reorganized. Metanoia is a specialized, intensified adult form of the same world-view development found shaping the mind of an infant. Associated with religion, metanoia proves to be the way by which all genuine education takes place. Metanoia is a seizure by the discipline given total attention, and a restructuring of the attending mind. This reshaping of the mind is the principle key to the reality function.
