‍“There is no guru. Ultimately, I am the key to my transformation, my liberation… I really believe that deep down inside we all have this burning desire to find meaning in our lives. We unconsciously seek to know thyself, to answer the perennial question, Who am I? Ultimately, you are the key.“— Ray Manyoky
