Let me clarify two things about this verse.
1. Setting your mind on the flesh doesn't only mean to live a hedonistic life, being ruled by one's lower impulses. It is any manner of life that is lived relying on one's own strength, separated from God. It can manifest in rampant perversion, moralism, or anything in between.
2. Setting your mind on the Spirit doesn't mean a general openness to the unseen world. Most spirits that are interested in influencing your mind fervently desire your destruction. The true Spirit of God, who leads us in the path of eternal life, always draws us closer to Jesus Christ.
