Documents / FOIA release
This is a technical report by Thomas E. Bearden, a research scientist with an MS in nuclear engineering, dated January 3, 1977. Bearden submitted it to the Defense Documentation Center under a cover letter and it is approved for public release. The report divides the evolution of life into seven stages and argues that humanity must avoid self-destruction by technologically linking all human brains into a single superbeing. It claims UFO phenomena are consistent with a sixth-stage superbeing preparing humanity for that linkage.
Any fool will agree with that; the proposition is incredibly naive and a tautology. The question is, "How, pray tell, can one get all persons to be perfect?" Law, logic, philosophy, creed, religion, practice, love, sacrifice, money, the ballot, and the bullet --all of these have empirically proven that they cannot solve the human problem for all humanity. Since none of the solutions advanced to date caL solve the problem, we must discard them all and search for a new approach. And a Teilhardian solution indeed emerges if one ponders diligently. The solution can be synthesized into two parts: each individual human must possess an internal mechanism for generating appropriate limits to personal behavior, and there must exist a totally reliable external process to implant or induce the internal mechanism. And one would also hope for the "maximum individual freedom within the constraints of minimum essential inter-individual control." The only viable solution is to link the brains of all men into one giant superbrain. It is the entire species which has been developing, and it is the entire species which now mu.st be linked into one superbeing.. Jung• s collective unconscious must acquire a single integrated consciousness, instead of the fragmented billions it now possesses, Each mancell must function individually within its own sphere, but in intermancell harmony under the control of a single linked-species nervous system. This linkage must be accompli.:hed technologically by creating and installing a system of direct communication links between all men's individuctl brains ..~most curious phenomenon occurs whenever two nervous system brains are directly linked together so that each cnn perceive no temporal delay between the two; the beings , egos, and personalities o: the two brains integrate and merge into one being, or.e ego, and one personality. Thus linkage admirably ends the destructive rx,.T.petition between the formerly separated l)fains. E.g., suppose you and I have linked our brains. If I am you and you are -- -me, then "we .. shall find it impossible to disadvantage "each other 11 since 11We" and "each other" no longer exist. I.e., only one "I" remains in the two linked brains, integrated in both of them. So the "one" cannot kill the "other" because no "other" any longer separately exists. In fact, absolute proof of the "single-being" identity of two linked brains unequivocally exists. The human brain (cerebrum) is composed of left and right hemispheres, completely separated except for a thick connecting cable of nerve fiber~ called the corpus callosum. Essentially the left cerebral hemisphere controls the right side of the bOdy and the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left ~!de of the body. With two brains in charge, one half (usudly the left) almost always dominates, and each of the two halves specializes. However, signals from one half are immediately transmi~ted to the second half, preventing the second half from detecting any difference or time Jelay between itself and the primary half. I.e., the second half gets an immediate 11Wiggle 11 and perceives that it, the second half, originated the wiggle, When consciousness can perceive no difference, identity results, just as separate movie frames appear continuous (each two appear one) when flashed at 22 fra11f~':s per second. Thus in one's own body, two brains are integruted into one functional brain and one percept,1al personalii.y. There is no conscious separation of the tv1o brain her:-iispherical per ;eptions, and one consciously is aware of only one bein£ or continuity, himself. In humans whose corpus callosums have been S(:vered, .he two brains exhibit separate consciousnesses and separate "personalities." 3.
