Summary
Listen to episode 1056 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The True Meaning & Power of Freedom. Edited and adapted from Where Dwells the Soul Serene by Stanton Davis Kirkham.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: To explore the unknown regions of the mind, to seek that shining land where dwells the Soul, serene — here is a work worthy of the true explorer's mettle. Let us explore this world of thought; let us blaze a path and wear a trail up over the mountains; let us recount our escape from the wilderness, and leave a record of our journey from bondage to freedom.
It is the royal privilege of every person to so live that their life and example shall be an inspiration; to so walk erect and free that others shall be obliged to inquire as to the means of our freedom.

| 2:53.6 | It goes not by the beaten road, but follows rivers and mountain chains, and the shores of continents, like migrating swans. For to follow a traveled road is to see what has already been |
| 3:12.8 | seen by all women and men, but to make your own road, under the guidance of the inner light, |
