In today's age, pretty much anyone that has lived in a western influenced world will have a 'corrupted mind' to some extent. You can deny it all you like, but each and every one of us knows deep down that it's the truth. Dirty/perverted thoughts/imaginations, evil intentions, laziness, etc.
In most cases they're relatively harmless, short-lived and never actually manifest to anything within the physical realm... but nonetheless, they do hinder our ability to act confidently and with peace of mind. In some other cases, the effects of a corrupted mind can lead to much more severe consequences. People will often confuse themselves with their mind and give in to the mind's temptations.
The first and biggest step in 'uncorrupting' a corrupt mind, in my opinion, is to acknowledge the separation between who you really are -- and your mind. In my opinion the mind is just a tool used to interact with your perception/reality.
Unfortunately though that is the easy part. For the majority of us it will take a huge effort of discipline and sacrifice to reverse the damage that has been done. I'd like this thread to be filled with ideas, tips and experiences so as to help me as well as others who are willing to try and rid once and for all the impurities that have infected our minds.

I wish I could help you... I mean, I am not sure what the definition of "impurity" is in this context. Frankly, I think the biggest "impurity" is a lack of self love and acceptance that I AM God... You are God. All consciousness is God, all in active creation of Now, based on our choices of behavior.
I would guess you suffer from self loathing... Just sayin'.

I am personally weary of complacency from the feeling that we are already enlightened.

We're all a reflection of that which we perceive... so if there was anything I loathed it'd be the reality in which I live in, not myself. But the fact is, I see everything that makes this reality -- that which you might perceive as both good or bad, as necessary elements that serve a greater purpose.
At this point I have no real loath/hate for anything in this world -- but rather, I see opportunities that were placed before me so that I may learn/progress, if I so choose.
In my original post, rather than call them "opportunities", I give them various names that others would be more familiar with... such as "corrupt", "dirty/perverted", "laziness", "impurity", or "good/bad", etc.
In the context I've used them, it's not in my place to give more detailed definitions/examples of these words as we have all lived unique versions/variations of them.
I'm quite sure though that most get the message.
As for you being perfect? First, define "perfect"...
From my point of view, nothing in this world is perfect nor ever will be. If it wasn't the case, it would contradict (in my opinion) the whole point of being here.
The only thing perfect about this world is the way in which it's far from perfect, so as to facilitate our spiritual progress.

When you are free from the cycle of birth and death you are enlightened, if we can ever truly be enlightened at all. If you die, and you have no control over your own death, you are still a slave, and you will be back once again.

The manipulation is so present, that is why some have perception of "corrupted minds". However, when we discover the source of the manipulation, we can start the process of diminishing the extent of the manipulation over our own mind, and ultimately be free from all influences and astral manipulations, wich includes the cycles of life and death.

To free the mind, you first need awareness. To get awareness, you need to have sufficient experience as a soul. After that, you need to "know" without doubt that you are multidimensional.
I know that your time as arrived, you just need to let go of the fear, which is the favorite tool of these entities. Look at the information with an objective attitude, and it will make things a lot easier.

Get that religious and cultural guilt-nonsense out of your head and everything will be fine.
