To me, "free your mind" means to get past the idea that objective reality is all there is. I sit at my computer typing these words and I feel my fingers move across the keyboard. To take a line from the Matrix, "there is no keyboard". Everything we perceive as physical reality is an illusion our minds create to help us deal with this reality.
I don't think meditation is about arcane knowledge. To me it's about stopping the constant chatter of thoughts in my head. If I can stop my mind from bringing up one idea after, one more chore to do, one more person to deal with, then I can be in the present. I can be fully here and not distracted by the past or the future. If you've ever read "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Heinlien, he touches on the idea.
