Explore Ecstatic Sensuality

In this episode we discus Carl Jung's idea of "The Animus and The Anima" and our alternative to it; Male Orgasm and its importance for solidifying a relationship; Sex and Yoga; The Chakras, what they are and their relationship to psi (psychic) powers; and the havoc that shame and poor self-esteem can wreak on relationships, and how these negative mental states should be replaced by Self-Love.

Novelist, composer, linguist, research psychologist, entertainment company Chief Executive Officer, artist and film producer Randolph Pitts provides an in depth analysis of topics crucial to our understanding of love, intimacy, happiness and relationships.

Randolph Pitts holds Summa Cum Laude degrees in Social Psychology and Egyptology from the University of California Berkeley, and a Masters Degree in Motion Picture Production and Entertainment Law from UCLA. He has also done advanced research for the Department of Psychology at UCLA, concentrating on couples and relationships dynamics. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the American Philosophical Association, the organization of university professors of Philosophy. He is also an associate member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Randolph has been a top executive at several entertainment companies, including a ten year stint as Chief Executive Officer of the company that produced Leaving Las Vegas for which Nicolas Cage won the Academy Award as best actor. He has a lifelong interest in the relationship between philosophy, psychology and history. Randolph Pitts is a classical composer and a novelist. The first volume of his eagerly anticipated tetralogy of novels will be published during 2022. Pitts' spellbinding novels deal at an unrelenting fever pitch with eroticism, mysticism, terrorism and crime on a global scale.  He is the founder and host of the Explore Ecstatic Sensuality podcast.

Our first experience is a sensual experience, but as we live we become closed off to sensuality, to our bodies and to the joys of being embodied. Instead, guided by philosophy, psychology and embodied spirituality, we can open ourselves to transcendent sensuality which will elevate our relationships, sexual and otherwise, to entirely new and ever-expanding levels. There is no finitude. There are no limits. The underlying energy of all universes can and should fuel our creativity so that each of us may be a beacon of love, sensuality, caring, compassion, and truth.

Sonate pour Anita (2020)

Love (dedicated by Anita DeFrancesco, for three orchestras and large organ)

This episode traces misogyny back to its origins and then on through western religions and cultures. 

Ancient Egyptian deities represent natural and social phenomena, as well as abstract concepts. The beliefs and rituals surrounding these gods formed the core of ancient Egyptian religion, which emerged sometime in prehistory. These gods and goddesses appear in virtually every aspect of ancient Egyptian civilization, and more than 1,500 of them are known by name.

Musical excerpts:

“Sonate pour Anita” (dedicated to Anita DeFrancesco)

“Der Schatten eines Traumes Teil 8 -- Erfüllte Sehnsucht“

The night becomes colorless and the shadow is silent

Still heart, do not tell anyone that the morning will rise,

a flicker around it, as if a lake was billowing there.

Fragrances waft gently, as if from tender pain.

I want to hide so that nothing will guess me --

So that only the wind blows into my silence --

So that only the rain runs down my window.

Within are all the sighs of my sisters.

Christoph Friedrich Heinle (1894 – 1914)

(Wenige Tage nach Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs und wahrscheinlich aus Verzweiflung über dessen vorhergesehene Folgen nahmen sich Christoph Friedrich Heinle und seine Freundin Friederike (Rika) Seligson durch Gas das Leben.)

In this episode host Randolph Pitts recounts true stories of how what begins as Love can end in Pain.

A brief discussion of what people mean by "dating" and the different ways in which women and men approach the idea of the purpose of "going on a date" and of what a date should consist of.  We also consider the need of (as we say) finding a premise for a relationship.

Adoring and honoring someone you truly admire is an exponential pleasure because in the process you are also adoring and honoring yourself. "I am sensitive and perceptive enough to understand and appreciate and love and adore my beloved's special gifts, the things that are most marvelous and unique about her." True love of another is also the highest, best and most exalted form of self-love.

Love In the Now, In The Moment. The thought of the one you love should fill you with transcendent joy. You should tingle from head to toe and immediately want to give them the universe. With that feeling all of the neurotic lack of trust and self doubt vanish like toxic dust blowing away in the wind and you are left not only truly whole, not only truly yourself, but ready to become new selves, and to share those selves with your beloved. When two people are ready to take this journey together it is magic. It is the greatest magic there is.

This episode includes discussions of the psychoanalysts Jacques Lacan, Jacques Alain Miller and Michael Balint with regard to their views on love.
