Deep Self Psychology DSP ™️ The Inner Technology of the Mystic Viking
Let me talk to you about something I call Deep Self Psychology, or DSP ™ .
Now before you check out on me, this isn’t your therapist’s couch kind of psychology. This is something much older, much deeper, and much more interesting than what you learned in any classroom.
DSP is a framework. A map. It’s how we at Mystic Vikings understand the architecture of human consciousness and why we do what we do, think what we think, and why some of us feel like we’re running on somebody else’s programming.
Nature gives us clues. There’s a fungus called Cordyceps that gets into an insect’s brain and hijacks its behavior completely. There’s a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii that gets into mice and makes them seek out cats, their own predators, leading them straight to their death. The parasite uses the host’s own biology against it. Now I’m not saying there’s a worm in your brain. But I am saying that thoughts, belief systems, cultural programming, and language itself can operate the same way. They get in early, they feel like your own voice, and they run your behavior in ways that serve the pattern rather than serve you. That’s what we call the Worm Speaker, or the parasitic mind. Recognizing it is just the beginning.
DSP ™ draws heavily on the work of Carl Jung. His teachings of shadow work, archetypes, the collective unconscious are found throughout this web of Ideas that I will present. Jung understood that the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to reject don’t disappear. They go underground. They run in the background, turning into our own personal demons.Think of it like the cartoon devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. They shape our reality in ways we can’t see until we turn and face them. The shadow aspects that feel the most threatening, the ones we’ve locked away the deepest, well those are often where our greatest power is waiting. When you do the work of integrating those aspects, they stop working against you and start working for you.
Now here’s where DSP ™ gets interesting.
We also work with Egregores. These are collective thought-forms that develop their own momentum, and energy through sustained belief and attention. Religious institutions, cultural movements, political ideologies are all Egregores. They take on a life of their own beyond any individual. Understanding how they work gives you the ability to consciously choose which ones you participate in and which ones you withdraw your energy from.
Then there’s the quantum piece. Modern physics tells us that the observer affects what is observed. That reality exists in multiple states simultaneously until consciousness collapses it into a specific experience. DSP ™ takes that seriously. The psychological work you do as you are cleaning out parasitic patterns, integrating your shadow, working with archetypal forces is not just mental hygiene.
That is literally affecting which timeline, which version of reality, you are stepping into. Your inner work has outer consequences. Always.
Now here’s something important I want you to understand about how we approach all of this at Mystic Vikings.
A person in one culture might use prayer. Another might use a vision board. Another might use ritual, meditation, or ceremony. From the outside these look completely different, but underneath, they are all spiritual technologies doing the same thing. They are directing consciousness, reshaping identity, deep belief, and accessing layers of the self that ordinary waking awareness can’t reach. DSP ™ doesn’t rank these technologies. It recognizes them all as valid interfaces for the same deep work.
That’s what a Mystic Viking does. We travel. We taste. We test what different traditions and frameworks have to offer, and we integrate what works for our individual path. We leave behind what doesn’t. We drop the semantics, and focus on the core aspects of the ideas. We look for the flavors that are most palatable to you. Without judgment toward those for whom it does work. We don’t serve any single dogma. We serve our own evolution and the evolution of the people around us.
DSP ™ requires something that not everyone is ready for. It requires mental flexibility. The ability to hold multiple perspectives at once. To work with an idea as pure psychology, and simultaneously as if it were an external living force. Sometimes that’s what the work requires. To understand that the map is not the territory, but a good map can still get you home. It will require relearning things that were installed into you at a young age. Redefining concepts that were accepted as truth. To be willing to examine something fully before you make a judgement on it. There is a tactic to hide the truth, that uses fear of being bad to keep you from exploring the shadows. Understand that here we understand that the soul's purpose for incarnating here is for experience. It's not labeling things as good or bad, white or black. Here the goal is integration. To be whole, to be holy in our own capacity. To find the patterns that keep happening in our life and realize. “Having is evidence of wanting.” That's the first step. What's the common denominator? YOU.
This is deep work. It is not always comfortable. But it is some of the most important work a human being can do. When you understand the architecture of your own consciousness, when you can see the parasitic patterns, and be able to integrate the shadow, work with the archetypal forces, and consciously choose which reality you’re collapsing into. You stop being a passenger in your own life.
You become the navigator, explorer, you are Viking.
The Living Mirror: Your Practical Tool for Deep Self Psychology
Philosophy without practice is just ideas. So let me tell you about the tool we use to actually do this work.
The Deck of the Living Mirror is a 100 card Oracle deck, and every single card is a doorway into your own shadow. Each card corresponds to a chapter in the Mystic Vikings body of work like stories, teachings, and explorations like the ones you’ll find throughout this community.
The cards imagery will help you to recall the lessons that will be given for each one almost like a living character.
The principle behind the deck is ancient and simple.
As above, so below. As within, so without.
Your conscious mind, and your surroundings mirror each other. Your subconscious and your manifested reality mirror each other. The cards images don’t tell your future. They show you yourself. Right now. In this moment. With brutal, beautiful honesty, if you’re willing to really look.
When you look at the images on the cards, really pay attention to what in the imagery stirs something in you. Especially the ones that make you uncomfortable. The ones that trigger anger, fear, or deep emotion. That is not a random reaction. That is your shadow knocking on the door. That is the part of you that has been waiting to be turned on. Activated the power switch.
There’s a resonance inside of you stirring in the subconscious that these cards are designed to evoke. Trust that resonance. It knows things your conscious mind hasn’t caught up to yet.
This is the beginning of your own Grimoire. Your own book of mirrors.
You can even do as I did and create your own deck based off of these teachings and ideas.
Or if you really want to use the images that I created, we can do that too.
This deck and this work have been shaped by a lifetime of real experience and genuine exploration. The Hermetic principles and quantum physics gave me a philosophical foundation. Chaos Magick gave me freedom of thought. Hypnosis opened the door to the liminal state that altered the threshold between waking and deep mind where real transformation happens. Massage therapy forged my empathy into something I could actually use. Blacksmithing connected me to elemental forces in a way that was physical, real, and undeniable. And dyslexia, something most people would call a limitation, taught me not to trust surface reality, to question what I saw, and to understand that the mind can be programmed and reprogrammed like software. I call those reprogrammed inner structures Mind APPs.
My grandmother laid the very first stone of this path without either of us knowing it at the time.
All of that is in these cards. All of that is in this work.
DSP ™ is not a belief system I’m asking you to adopt. It’s a set of tools I’m inviting you to test. Take what works. Leave what doesn’t. That’s the Mystic Viking way.
Better and better, every day. Better and better, in every way.
May my voice go with you wherever you go.
