The "180 degree” turn is the real metanoia -- a turning of the mind or attention back to its source, not simply any random change or turn and not just some emotionally based repentance. If there is any repentance, it is self-remorse for looking in the wrong direction.
The "360 degree view" is the Pan-OM-Rama – the all-OM witness view as if from “above” – metaphorically speaking – of the whole situation.
The 180 turn (of attention back to its source in the noumenon) is what enables the 360 view.
