Documents / FOIA release
This Defense Documentation Center report (ADA068988) reproduces a paper Thomas E. Bearden prepared for the 1979 MUFON Annual Symposium. It carries a public-release distribution statement. Bearden is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and nuclear engineer. The paper proposes a speculative mind and matter model built on a claimed fourth law of logic and hyperspatial frames. It argues that the collective unconscious can materialize thought forms under Cold War stress, and it fits major UFO waves and U.S. cattle mutilations since 1973 into that model.

It is important to note that these layers of unconsciousness (multiply conscious minds) are not mutually exclusive, but greatly overlap. If one accepts the existence of the collective human unconscious as a living biosystem, four-billion dimensional, then it is a living entity --indeed, a great superentity, of which our own personal consciousnesses/personal unconsciousnesses are parts. Thus each of us is a cell in this great entity. Let us tentatively call it ZARG. ZARG has unique characteristics. It is "unconscious" by definit1on, hence "sleeping." Further, its "conscious mind" is fragmented into four billion piecas -- our own personal consciousnesses. In psychology, fragmentation of the conscious mind is technically called dissociation, and severe dissociation classically defines psychosis. Thus ZARG may be considered totally insane. As we stated, ZARG is multidimensional. ZARG's unconscious simultaneously re- ceives and identifies four billion different conscious and unconscious perceptions. Just as the human consciousness, in identifying two slightly different two-dimensional visual patterns gains the third dimension, ZARG gains an additional "dimension" for every additional person past the first one. So ZARG is at least about 4 x 109 -dimensional. Finally, it is well-known in parapsychology that the personal unconscious can affect matter; i.e., it can change spacetime itself, and we have shown a physical mechanism for this effect (kindling) in our model. Psychokinesis, poltergeist phenomena, etc. are direct examples. From equation (1) previously given, this effect increases exponentially as the number of stages or minds that are !inked in an inceptive loop. Since ZARG has 4 x 109 linked stages, this m~ns that its psychokinetic/materialization/dematerialization powers are at least some 1010 times as great as those of, say, Uri Geller when he is bending or breaking metal. Thus ZARG can pull the very stars out of orbit, disrupt the earth or solar system, stop the earth in its orbit, or even change the fundamental laws of nature itself. The physical universe, in our model, is quite literally simply thought that is common to all minds, hence to ALLMINDEDNESS or The Creative Mind, or whatever term one prefers to use for the Infinite. It is the fact that the thoughtfonn of the physical frame is prescribed and represcribed, over and over, that lends it its seeming "solidity" as compared to the phenomena existing in only a single consciousness mindworld. But the physical universe is totally minds tuff nonetheless; as such, it can indeed be changed by the proper resonance in a large number of stages, as given by formula (1). Thus ZARG contains so many mindworlds/stages/dimensions that it has a very powerful part to play in the "reality" or type of functioning exhibited by this particuiar physical universe. Indeed, a large part of the physical laws of nature and the stability of thj s spacetime continuum is due to and prescribed by ZARG. Thus anything which powerfully affects the multiplistic mind of ZARG can stimulate actual changes in our own physical reality --essentially of any type and any degree, given a sufficiently strong stimulus. Dreams and the Collective UnconsciouCl Just as a personal dream can be psychoanalyzed to reveal the unresolved stresses and conflicts in the personal unconscious, the materialized "dreams" of the collective unconscious --i.e., the tulpa manifestations -- can be psychoanalyzed to reveal the unresolved stresses and conflicts in the collective unconscious .17 However, in analyzin-g the tulpoidal materializations and manifestations, one must seek out stress situations that exist between two or more large groups of people, in fact, between great nations. Since World War II, the major such stress on the collective unconscious has been the cold war. '7 I '
