This is why "setting" has always seemed awkward to me. "Be conscious of the Spirit" seems a much more accurate expression of what we do. But "setting the mind on the Spirit" seems sort of like telling an ice skater to set her mind on her feet, which is probably the best way to get her to collide with a wall.
