Welcome to Infants on Thrones, a podcast dedicated to exploring self-awareness, discovery, and the complexities of human existence. Our name, Infants on Thrones, reflects our belief that we are all in a continuous state of growth and learning, much like infants. As we navigate through life's challenges and questions, we aim to approach each topic with curiosity, humility, and a touch of humor. Join us as we delve into a wide range of subjects, from personal development and mental health to philosophical and spiritual inquiries. Whether we're discussing the evolution of human consciousness, sharing insights from various fields of study, or reflecting on our own life experiences, our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We're not experts with all the answers, but we invite you to join us on this journey of exploration and growth. Together, we'll question, learn, and hopefully gain a bit more clarity along the way. Welcome to Infants on Thrones.

Ep 893 - Musings on the Neurological Cult Ripples of Experience

In this episode, we’re introduced to the idea of playing with thoughts the way you might play with Legos—stacking, twisting, reshaping, not to build something permanent, but to feel your way into understanding. It starts on the floor. Stretching. Thinking. Thoughts of childhood. Thoughts of trauma. Thoughts about how being raised in what now feels like a Mormon cult still echoes through the nervous system today—like ant trails in the brain, rerouted and reinforced by years of psychological patte...

Ep 892 - Reflections on Andor Season 2: Maya Pei and the Basal Ganglia Brigade

Cassian Andor didn’t just escape a crash — he landed in the middle of a fractured rebellion, where mistrust, fear, and instinct rule the day. In this episode, we explore the early chaos of the Rebel Alliance through the lens of the human brain: the survival-driven basal ganglia, the emotional currents of the limbic system, and the emerging wisdom of the neocortex. You'll meet the Maya Pei Brigade — not just a group of bickering rebels, but a mirror of your own nervous system under pressure. Guid...

When Cassian Andor climbs into a TIE fighter he’s never flown before, you feel your shoulders tense. You know he’s going to survive—this is a prequel, after all. But your body doesn’t care. That dissonance? It’s limbic resonance. And it’s just the beginning. In this premiere episode of Accidental Therapy , Glenn Ostlund breaks down how Andor Season 2 uses cinematic storytelling to activate your nervous system—blurring the lines between what you think and what you feel . You’ll explore: Why your ...

Ep 887 - The Thalmus Whispers This to Me...

In this special meditation episode, Glenn Ostlund invites you into a deep, sensory exploration of consciousness, inspired by Lights On by Annaka Harris. What if your ability to hear—right now, these very words—is the end result of a long, intimate chain of living transformations? What if each one of those transformations is a kind of felt experience —not by you, but by the microscopic, responsive parts of you that make hearing possible? Using the metaphor of a fireman’s bucket brigade, Glenn gui...

Today Glenn shares the opening meditation from the Lights In series—sparked by Annaka Harris’s Lights On —you’re invited to slow down and gently explore the layers of consciousness that exist beneath thought. With the support of soothing binaural tones designed to encourage neural entrainment and inner stillness, this reflection guides you into the quiet intelligence of your body: the soft signals, the wordless awareness, the subtle shifts in breath and sensation that often know… before you do. ...
