I disagree. I think he's telling us that we spend too much time thinking about things that aren't important instead of opening our eyes and seeing what's going on around us. Lines such as "cause you don't see with your eyes, you percieve with your mind" point this out blatantly. Also the use of the words fictional and mystical help. "Hype shit" refers to all of the crap we meditate on such as what clothes we're going to wear or even what music we're going to listen to. I think that the guys are just saying that we're psuedo-simplifying everything and we need to stop. As for smoking marijuana... I don't see it. Could just be me.
@damionignis "sunshine in a bag" I know someone down the thread said something about that alluding to our soul being the sunshine and our body the bag. But I mean come on let's get real I think some will say something like that souley because they don't wanna acknowledge what he's actually saying. That's just my take on it.

@damionignis The song Clint Eastwood is a series of clues for anyone who is seeking greater meaning in their life. It is packed full of references to Carl Jung in relation to the psychology of the unconscious. See The Transcendent Function: Jung's Model of Psychological Growth.

The transcendent function is the core of Carl Jung’s theory of psychological growth and the heart of what he called individuation, the process by which one is guided in a teleological way toward the person one is meant to be.

For a deep dive journey into the unconscious process, read The Red Book or for a shortcut overview and introduction to the idea, read Lecture 4 in the book, Introduction to Jungian Psychology.

"cause you don't see with your eyes, you perceive with your mind" - according to Jung, the unconscious is the birthplace of thought and this is what, I think, this line is referring to.
"fictional and mystical" - "mystical" refers to the mystical quality of the collective unconscious, which is an evolutionary memory of all that has passed and all that is to come. It's a universal concept. On the subject of the "fictional", I'm going to pass you on to a YouTube video called, "Biblical Series I: Introduction to the Idea of God". At some point in this lecture, Jordan Peterson covers the concept of Fiction as an abstraction that tries to explain meaning and purpose in the same way that numbers and mathematics are an abstraction that can explain the way the universe works. It's a very powerful concept and extremely enlightening once you have wrapped your head around it.
@damionignis Did some digging on the function of fiction.

The function of fiction is the abstraction and simulation of social experience. Engaging in the simulative experiences of fiction literature can facilitate the understanding of others who are different from ourselves and can augment our capacity for empathy and social inference.
