"This industry taught me to tell the truth. So here it is.
We are frauds if we stay silent on this.
Every leader on that list has built a career telling people to be brave. To face hard things. To live in truth. And when the hard thing showed up — when it actually cost something to speak — they went quiet.
That’s not caution. That’s cowardice.
And if you are Deepak Chopra — testify. You said you would. Not on X with the comments turned off. Before Congress, under oath, as you promised.
If nothing changes — if the list stays silent, if the industry keeps selling awakening while refusing to wake up, if we keep treating courage as a product instead of a practice — then we deserve every bit of the credibility we’re about to lose.
Because the world is watching now. Not just the women in those files. Everyone.
I wish the files had told a different story. I wish I could still stand on that stage in Portland and feel what I felt before I knew what I know now.
But I can’t unknow it. And neither can you, now that you’ve read this far.
The system isn’t just the abusers.
It’s also the ones who stay silent."
Just before I turned 30, when my partner died and I was in the midst of the worst grief of my life, I turned to Deepak Chopra’s work for comfort.
