There are many verses referring to the mind. Bible does not stress "getting out of your mind".
Some of which are:
Psalm 26:2
Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
Ecclesiastes 7:25
So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.
Isaiah 44:18
They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
Luke 24:45
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
Rather one is likely to find more verses on setting our mind than about getting out of our mind.
Daniel 10:12
Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
Romans 8:5
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
