Real repentance

Mr. Nicholl, a pupil of Mr. Gurdjieff, spoke about the idea of repentance in the bible.
What has come down to us as the King James version, represents
a "best effort" translation. He said the real word in the original Greek,
is metanoia, literally, to look again. Look at your life, be conscious in your life.
Be aware of your sleep. Not beating a rock against your chest, tearing your hair out repentance,
but presence to your life, your behaviour, who you are.
