If I may offer a thought on this
My mind is where the upper function of thought and lust and giving my flesh the want to lust because of temptation.
AtG,I like the way you say it and here is a scripture I like.1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.A777
Thanks.Hebrews 8:10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
The new heart with its new spirit does have a new mind, but WE have to give ourselves (our bodies) to the desires of the new heart (Spirit) and not to the desires of the old heart (spirit) out of which used to proceed the things that defile a man
