"People that are in power seeking a specific outcome want to shut debate down. They do this because power steps into the void when reason no longer exists and gets to define reality for you from up above. ... When everything is taken from you, the truth is the only thing you have left. ... and information becomes your most powerful weapon."

many religions can do that. that is why your MIND is the most precioous item you have and thinking your most useful skill. perhaps the endless entertainment of all sorts is designed to numb the brain and let it become sluggish, out of shape? Get your mind in shape and let go of useless entertainment such as football, soap opera, fashion shows... Things are getting serious so you and I need to be serious.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Transformed.
That represents "transmutation of form by flow" aka flow to form (inception); form within flow (life); and form to flow (death). Only as form (life) within flow (inception towards death) does one (form) have the choice to shape self within the momentum (balance) of all (flow).
To be implies out of; hence within and in response to. "new" doesn't exist for one within all; form within flow; choice within balance; temporary within ongoing; growth within loss etc.
The mind (memory) represents a temporary response to ongoing input (inspiration aka from within spirit), and one needs to use it for adaptation to constantly perceived change (inspiration); which in return grows ones comprehension of all perceived.
In short...one doesn't renew the mind; one resist the temptation to hold onto suggested information; while adapting to the perceived input of constantly changing inspiration.
The highest value in existence represents evaluation (choice), and choice represents the response to balance (in this case mind/body). The mind (memory) is where choice shapes comprehended information out of perceived inspiration; which can be corrupted by the suggested information from the choice of others.
The memory (mind) needs to be used like a ram (temporary storage of information; while constantly adapting to inspiration); yet temps one to want to be misused like a hard-drive (accumulation of suggested information until capacity; which in return restricts perceived inspiration).
Entertainment aka enter tame mind represents choice (suggestion of information) to choice (consent to suggested information) contract law; which is in ignorance of balance (offered perceived inspiration) to choice (responding evaluation) natural law.
One needs to first comprehend to be form (life) within flow (inception towards death); hence temporary resistance within ongoing velocity. Therefore; "letting go" implies the temptation to go with the flow towards death. Instead one needs to resist the temptation to hold onto what other form is suggesting (information); while adapting to what flow is communicating (inspiration).
These aren't the issue; but your consent to the suggestion thereof by others for which you ignore that nature represents the only source of everything perceivable. Instead you consent to what the choices of others shape and suggest you to consent to; which deceives you to become an order follower instead of being the resistance (form) to the natural order of velocity (flow).
All religions (from religo - "to bind anew") represent choice (suggestion) to choice (consent) contract law as the suggested inversion of balance (offer) to choice (response) natural law. The different ways those religions are suggested represents the sales pitches for the same contract law that allows the parasitic few to racketeer the ignorance of the many through suggestion.
Consider the following...before the suggested word (information); comes the perceived sound (inspiration).
Amen. Those are words to live by.
