48:00--"Maybe this is the spark of God, in some sense, tied to the biology"...In some sense...The DNA molecule leaves an energetic impression in the space it occupies, for up to 30 days AFTER that molecule has left that space! Microbes have been observed emitting and absorbing single photons in an apparent exchange with nearby microbes! It is reasonable to expect that the DNA in your body communicates information to the DNA in other cells of your body--as well as all bodies external to you--photonically. Note that ALL "electromagnetic radiation" is photonic. With that in mind, the old analogy seems even more apt: the body/brain is like a radio transceiver in the way it enables and supports thinking without determining the nature of the thoughts.
"Thingness" requires delimitation, or, "body". Each and every "thing" owns a "unit awareness" as that thing--its center of spiritual gravity, so to speak. My reflective self-awareness is such a center of my being. So is each cell, and each aggregation of cells. Each atom, and smaller and smaller "things", has unit awareness. But there is only the ONE AWARENESS, which is God, the Father; the ONE MIND, which is God, the Son; and the ONE SPIRIT Of Life, which is God, the Holy Spirit. This pattern is reflected in the constitution of psyche: the Awareness is THE PRESENCE of God, the Father; Intention is the process of the Son; and Attention is the mechanism of association and connection--the Life! The birth event starts the psychic snow ball rolling downhill! Discomfort is reduced by a complexification process that results in habituation. Complexes form to dial in physical, movements, and these complexes further complexify into emotional values. Under "mental" pressure (you have to actually TRY), these emotional values further complexify into articulations. The birth event facilitates a cascade of all manner of interconnected autonomous and semi-autonomous complexes, the more potent of which occupy prominent positions in the casual awareness of self. The "body" of awareness is "spirit"; it's nature is "reflection" of the "other" amidst a refraction of Itself--a two-way mirror. It appears to our personal awareness as IMAGINATION, and it always reflects the total state of awareness in the just-previous MOMENT. The space of time between moments is a function of the density degree of matter/energy at whatever level of cosmos the awareness is in. The gross physical level we're familiar with has the greatest proportion of matter-to-energy and so the greatest time between moments; while the finest, most subtle level is the throne of God, where nothing ever changes...the moment is always the same; and the proportion of matter-to-energy is virtually all energy.
The real point of all this is that you create/build/form psychic mechanisms/complexes deliberately out of the substance of YOURSELF! And you can do it DELIBERATELY as well, with peculiar INTENTIONALITY, through symbolic psychical activity of Intention and Attention. You can call it self-programming--I call it, "Being alive!" It's what you're doing all the time, anyway, so, why not nudge it in, what in your judgement is, the better direction. Value-judgement is the business of awareness.
...What is the truth? A better question would be what is not the truth. Falsity is a local illusion due to the logical principle of "negation". There can be nothing in existence that is NOT TRUE...hehehe...the utility of negation is not disputed, but its general applicability is invalid. Failing to make this distinction...well, it's a little like a drug: a little bit is great and too much will kill ya. But it also means that, at a local enough of a level, you CAN do what is NOT possible, cosmically--and what better reason to be here! This is the grace of God, that you have your greatest power in the smallest things. And so it is with psyche: as you become aware of smaller things you are able to affect larger things that are dependent on the smaller things; and, as those small things were once too small for you to see, but no longer are, so you will see even smaller, and smaller, things as your skills complexify.
Jeez! Sorry for the length! Jordan really gets me thinking sometimes!
