The Abusive Gift
That Keeps on Giving.
I thought that I was done with Swartz for the day, but...
Just as I published my last Post less than an hour ago, new information was posted by Sahara7, accurately commented upon by ziziz, and spiritually dissected by Earthquake. There's not much to be added to their excellent comments on (copied below) Swartz's words. Please view them if you haven't.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too, Jane. It’s time to quit whining and grow up. But you don’t want to do that, because you would have to abandon shagging the exciting young counterculture guys with stiff dicks who don’t know what they want and knock about working for 300 dollars a month, sleeping on couches in communal flats and having their way with hippie babes. Think John and Frank, etc.”
Along with the absolute inappropriateness of a spiritual teacher communicating this way with a student, either in a public forum or in private, the jealousy Swartz displays for the "exciting young counterculture guys with stiff dicks" stands out. Dicks and such have always been a preoccupation of Swartz's. Now elderly, his wistfulness for the underage girls and impoverished widows he won't be able to abuse shines, or slimes, forth. (Yes, the 'ShiningWorld' pun was deliberate. And the 'slimes' is a hint to what some of my associates refer to as 'SlimingWorld,' as in, "Anything Swartz touches...")
On this matter Heather herself has weighed in. She messaged me, with her words paraphrased here: "As I've pointed out before, Swartz often uses 'You can't have your cake and eat it, too.' It's been one of his favorite expressions forever. This 'teaching,' with its obvious empathy and compassion oozing from this self-proclaimed enlightened one, is quintessential Swartz."
At least you're being seen for what you are now.
