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.
