The new revelations are not about one man. They are about a system—a vast, shimmering robe of lies that an entire society has agreed to wear.
Deepak Chopra—the spiritual guru who built an empire on love, consciousness, and transcendence—has been exposed in the Epstein files. His private emails reveal a different teacher: a cynical operator who told Epstein, “God is a construct. Cute girls are real,” and offered to help him travel under a fake name to “bring your girls.”
This is not a contradiction. It is the core truth finally visible.
For decades, Chopra sold beautiful, expensive fabric—the fabric of “enlightenment,” “higher self,” and “quantum healing.” Millions, including myself, paid to admire it, desperate to believe it was real. We were the emperor’s courtiers, praising patterns we could not see to avoid admitting our own spiritual nakedness, our own unhealed pain.
But Chopra, like the swindling weavers in the fairy tale, was working at an empty loom. The emails prove it. The loom was always empty. The fabric was a psychological transaction: he offered the illusion of transcendence; in return, we offered our money, our devotion, and—most crucially—our silence about our authentic childhood suffering.
The Child Who Points: Alice Miller and the End of the Parade
Why did Deepak Chopra feel the need to dismiss Alice Miller as “an angry woman”?
Because she is the child in the crowd.
In the fairy tale, it takes a child, unburdened by the need to protect his position or appear clever, to state the obvious: “But he doesn’t have anything on!”
Alice Miller did the same for our psychological and spiritual world. She looked at the “fine garments” of traditional psychiatry, forgiving spirituality, and repressive parenting, and said: These are not clothes. This is nothing. You are being swindled. She pointed not at a naked body, but at a naked lie: that cruelty is love, that repression is strength, that forgiving your abusers is healing.
The gurus, the “healers,” the prestigious psychiatrists like Dr. Julio Machado Vaz in Portugal—they are the weavers and the emperor’s court. Their power depends on the collective agreement to keep praising the fabric. When a true Enlightened Witness like Miller (or me, in her footsteps) speaks, we do not offer a competing garment. We point at the empty loom. We say: Feel your rage. Name your abusers. Your pain is not a spiritual lesson; it is a crime scene.
This is why they attack. An “angry woman” is a label they use to discredit the one voice telling the truth they have built their empires to outrun.
The Network of the Blind: Musk, Epstein, and the Weavers' Guild
This is not an isolated scandal. It is the ecosystem of the emotionally blind, finally visible.
The Epstein files have shown us the weavers’ guild:
Elon Musk, the technological emperor, asking about the “wildest party.”
Deepak Chopra, the spiritual emperor, offering cover and philosophical cynicism.
The financiers and elites, providing the gold thread of capital and protection.
They form a mutual admiration society of the “false self.” They validate each other’s grandiosity, whisper that their rules don’t apply, and use the spectacle of their own success as the “fabric” that dazzles the world. They are all wearing—and selling—each other’s invisible clothes.
The platform that spreads deepfakes, the AI trained without moral compass, the spirituality that masks predation—these are not bugs in the system. They are the finished garments, cut from the same empty cloth. They are the end products of a worldview that sees “cute girls” as more real than God, utility as more real than empathy, and power as the ultimate truth.
The Fabric of True Liberation
For years, I was in that crowd, admiring Chopra’s fabric. I felt the temporary relief, the “drug” of his speeches. My journey from his audience to this moment of clarity is the entire parable.
True liberation does not come from a new, better-woven illusion. It comes from the courageous decision to feel the chill of being naked and resolve childhood repression—to stand in the raw truth of your own childhood pain without the borrowed robes of gurus, 12-step platitudes, or spiritual bypassing.
My book, A Dance to Freedom, is not another garment. It is an invitation to step out of the procession. It is a guide to tolerating the vulnerability of your own true skin, to feeling the legitimate anger of the child who was hurt, and to discovering that this authentic self is the only thing of substance you will ever own.
The parade of emperors will continue. The weavers will invent new, even more dazzling fabrics—metaverses, AI gods, new age philosophies. Their power depends on our continued fear of being called stupid, unfit, or “angry” for pointing at the emptiness.
But once you have heard the child’s voice—once you have become that child, speaking your own truth—you can never un-hear it. You can never again convince yourself that emptiness is majesty.
The emperor is naked. The weavers are swindlers. And the only real power left is in the clear, quiet voice that refuses to praise the cloth.
