On being heavenly minded

The Bible says in Colossians 3v1-3:
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."

Wow. The questions then arise as to how do we seek those things that are above? and what are those things which are above? What are these things that we can set our affection on? Things we can see - things we cannot see? And my life, is not here, but hid in Christ in God. So if my life is hid in Him, does that mean my flourishing will be in Him then?

The Amplified Bible says:
"IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.

For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

Have a blessed day.
