Mailbag Episode 2 – “The Comparator and the Calling”

What if faith were simply the nervous system daring to trust its own prediction? In this Mailbag installment, Dr. Rey responds to listener DeShawn Carter of Atlanta, Georgia, whose question probes the hidden alliance between free will, intuition, and the brain’s comparator model – that quiet circuit which measures intention against outcome, authorship against experience. From Chris Frith’s neuroscience of agency to the ancient mystic’s surrender, this episode explores how faith and intuition emerge not in opposition to science but as its most mysterious expressions. Can belief be mapped onto synapses? Can intuition be a biological form of grace?Listen as Dr. Rey unravels these questions, reminding us that to know and to trust are not separate verbs but different tenses of the same awakening.
