I am someone who gives what he can, greets everyone he sees and believes that it is better to have a pure heart and talk dirty than to not talk dirty and have a heart that is evil. I don't think that it's thoughts of evil against people even though we are not perfect, I think the worst of it is the way I talk. I do dream of a literal hell of a lot more space stuff than the average person but I never wake up scared. I think I would like to take this step.

Your mind is like a computer. Garbage in, garbage out.
If you soak your brain in the meaningless drivel being poured out through popular media such as your television, your mind will begin to marginalize the black and white nature of right and wrong. Sin becomes "not SO bad because everybody else is doing it." Then sin and sinful thoughts are more tollerable to you.
If you want a tub full of hot water, you have to turn off the cold water and turn on the hot. In the same way, if you want a pure mind you need to limit your exposure to sinful ideas (the cold water) and fill your head with God's word (the hot water.) The bible says to "meditate on it night and day." The reason for that is that the time you spend thinking about God's word will change the way you think.

You can change what is in your heart by renewing your mind with the Word of God

I can't quote the reference, but the verse says something about , "daily renewing of the mind with the cleansing of the Word (the Bible)."
In other words, read the Bible every day.
That's how God's word says to clean the mind.

I've always heard the mind is a reflection of the heart.
