Of yourself, do you mean to allow (decide) to be more tolerant? Or/and less prejudice? To allow/decide it’s okay for others to have other points of view which are different or very different from yours?
I looked up the word “allow”in the UB – those 65 places you mention. Here are most of them. I quit listing them, because it was getting monotonous. I discovered in the UB usage that the word “allow” is synonymous with the word “permit” with several exceptions, as follows:
3:1.6 […] Hence must the concept of the divine presence allow for a wide range of both mode and channel of manifestation embracing the presence circuits of the Eternal Son, the Infinite Spirit . . . .

90:4.4 . . .trephining the skull to allow a headache spirit. . . .
100:4.5 […] But allow us to enlarge the picture.
102:1.2 . . .true wisdom admonishes us to allow faith to accomplish through religious insight. . . .
102:3.4 . . .but rather to allow the overflow of the welling-up. . . .

117:4.13 . . .can you allow yourself to pass into the realm of. . . .
120:3.1 “. . .the general conduct of your bestowal, allow me to present. . . .”
123:6.8 . . .advised Joseph and Mary to allow him. . . .
127:1.7 . . .he decided to allow her to entertain whatever. . . .
127:2.9 . . . if they would only consent to allow Jesus to remain. . . .
128:6.7 […] After warning Jude not to allow himself . . .
132:5.23 “. . .only that which all honest men would allow.”
136:9.13 . . .that he allow his followers. . . .
140:6.6 “. . .Shall we allow a man to divorce. . . ..”
140:8.26 […] He sought to allow each soul. . . .
142:3.21 “. . .commandments, which you will all allow are more worthy. . . .”
142:7.17 […] “Will you not allow me to use the earth family. . . .”

174:0.2 […] “Do not allow the things which you cannot understand. . . .”
177:5.2 […] “And so you must not allow yourselves to be deceived. . . .”
178:1.11 “. . .and you must not allow anything to divert your. . . .”
To allow (permit) infers not to allow (not to permit). In your thinking, does to allow (decide) infer not to allow (not to decide)? It seems that in some of the above references not-to-allow is a good thing. Or to put it another way, not-to-allow is preferred over allowing – which is a positive decision. Do not allow yourselves to be deceived. . .you must not allow anything to divert your. . .do not allow yourselves to become blinded. . . and so on.
