The purpose of original OT V was to become “Cause Over MEST, and Gain Freedom from Fixated Introversion into MEST.” Here is the full Rundown.

---

Step 1

A) Fly Ruds if needed.

B) Pre OT is to lie down in a comfortable popsition with eyes shut.

1. Spot a spot in the room
2. Spot a spot in your body
   
   Alternate command 1 and 2 until process is flat (Cognition, VGIs, No more change), then
   
3. Spot two spots in your body
4. Spot two spots outside
   
   Alternate until flat, then
   
5. Spot a spot outside
6. Spot a spot on the sun
   
   (Notice the difference between). Alternate until flat, then
   
7. Spot two spots outside
8. Spot two spots on the sun
   
   (Notice what happens). Alternate until flat.
   You may exteriorize or be exterior during these drills but don’t have to.

C) With your eyes still shut in a comfortable position indoors do the following commands and write down any major cognitions.

1. Spot an object in the room
2. Spot an object outside
3. Locate a moving object
4. Locate a spot in your body
5. Spot a motion
6. Locate a space
7. Spot a Being

Continue the above steps in sequence until major cognition with very good indicators, or until exteriorization occurs.

Step 2

Pre OT is to lie down in a comfortable position with eyes shut.

A) Create an illusion ( condition, energy or object )

B) Then

1. Conserve it
2. Protect it
3. Control it
4. Hide it
5. Change it
6. Age it
7. Make it go backwards on a cycle of action
8. Perceive it with all perceptions
9. Shift it in time at will
10. Rearrange it
11. Duplicate it
12. Turn it upside down 
13. Turn it on its’ side
14. Make it obey MEST laws at will
15. Be it
16. Not be it
17. Destroy it
18. Mock it up and un-mock it at will

C) Repeat steps (A) and (B) to a major cognition.

---

Step 3

(done outside)

1. Put your attention on an object that is ahead of you – like a parked car, lamp post, etc and walk towards it, noticing the distance between you and it. Continue to do this until cognition.
   
2. Pick out an object ahead of you and wrap an energy beam around it and yourself and pull yourself toward the object by shortening the beam. Notice what happens.
   
3. Locate an object, draw energy from it into you. Repeat at least ten times. Note any cognitions.
   
4. Locate an object as above and walk toward it. Notice what is holding you to it.
   
5. Locate a cloud and notice the space between you and it.
   
6. Notice your body.
   
7. Walk and notice the change in viewpoint.
   
8. Notice the motion of the earth and your relationship to it.
   
9. Notice something about 10 people.

Repeat the above steps to a major cognition.

Notes

The above Rundown may be summarized to the following 3 steps:

1. Exteriorize attention by spotting spots on visualization of body and environment.
2. Generate an illusion in one’s mind and manipulate it in different ways.
3. Observe the actual environment around you in different ways while moving in it.

New OT V

The above rundown was replaced by New OT V.

Here the person is set up for NOTs Auditing.

He then continues on OT VI with OT VI Processing (NOTs).

.

Reference: Book I: Postulate Mechanics (Text Book)

The purpose of OT VI is: Familiarization as a Thetan Exterior with the Physical Universe. Thetan exterior is defined in Scientology as a being who knows he is a spirit with a body and not just a body. 

NOTE: The sub-steps below are comments.

STEP 1.1: BE THREE FEET BACK OF YOUR HEAD

1. The purpose of this step is to break unconscious identification with the body.
2. In essence a person is pure awareness and his attention need not be fixated in his head.
3. He can control his attention to visualize from anywhere he likes. All artists can do that routinely.

STEP 1.2: Whatever you are looking at, copy it a dozen times, dispose them etc.

1. The purpose of this step is to look at a picture as a picture, and have no other significance.

STEP 1.3: Find two back corners of the room and hold onto them for two minutes.

STEP 1.4: Find two locations or positions on Earth and hold onto them for two minutes

STEP 1.5: Find some places where you are not. (Repeat) 

STEP 1.6: Spot three spots in your body and Spot three spots in the room. (Repeat) 

1. These steps help stabilize one’s attention when it is dispersed.

STEP 1.7: Be in the following places: The room, the sky, the moon, the sun.

1. This step makes attention less fixated or dispersed, and more free and under control.

STEP 2.1: Mock up your own body until you slip out of it.

1. Again, the purpose of this step is to break unconscious identification with the body.

STEP 2.2: Locate an animal. Postulate it moving from one spot to another. Observe it doing this. 

STEP 2.3: Find a walking man — postulate his walking faster. Repeat this with 20 people.

STEP 2.4: Find a walking person — postulate that he will stop, then continue walking. Do this 20 times.

1. This is like playing a game of chance.

STEP 2.5: Find a person in a distant land. notice the time of day. Notice the terrain. Notice the general environment. Smell the air. Locate a thought that is his. Locate a thought that is yours. Continue until flat.

1. This is basically visualizing something arbitrarily. It may be some past experience or impression.

STEP 2.6: Notice differences between you and your body.

1. Again, the purpose of this step is to break unconscious identification with the body.

STEP 3.1: Create feelings in your body of: calmness, sexual desire, pain, serenity, hunger, and admiration.

1. This is kind of trial and error.

STEP 4.1: Create emotions in your body of: anger, boredom, grief, cheerfulness and serenity — in that order.

1. This is also a kind of trial and error.

STEP 4.2: Exteriorized visit a friend who lives in another state. Greet him and flow affinity to him. Ask him to communicate to you by letter.

1. This is primarily a visualization.
2. This is also a kind of trial and error.

Scientology process requires a Major Cognition or ability regained on all these steps. This is arbitrary. A person may have achieved the purpose of a step already. This process also asks for things to be done as trial and error.

New Version

The above version of OT VI was later replaced by NOTs or NED for OTs. Fully expanded, this process is called New Era Dianetics for Operating Thetans.

Please see OT VI Processing (NOTs).

OT VIII Level of Scientology is based on the principle of Monotheism. It replaces the harmony of ONENESS of this universe by the idea of “Cause and control” through a Creator. The aberration of monotheism has spread throughout the world through the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The ideas of monotheism, polytheism and atheism are man-made.

Monotheism tries to replace the harmony of ONENESS of this universe by the obsession of “Cause and Control” through the valence of God.

Here are the steps involved in this version of OT VIII processing, along with my comments.

• Step One: Read and word clear Handbook for Preclears cover to cover.
• Step Two: Do all steps and exercises in the above book and note reads on any terminals or items. Keep the ruds in.
  • See OT VIII & Handbook for Pre-clears
• Step Three: Listen to the History of Man tapes and star rate M4 the concepts in them (The Time Track of Theta).
  • See OT VIII & History of Man
• Step Four: Clear the definition of “truth” and clay demo it [Tech Dictionary].
  • See Glossary: Scientology
• Step Five: Clay demo the concept of the theta line branching out toward PT from the “theta body” and how this inhibits exteriorization, ability, power and perception of truth. Clay demo what will happen if someone did OT VIII procedure who was not fully completed on OT VII (NOTS). Sort this out from the above data.
  • COMMENTS:
    • There is no “theta line” of Hubbard, but a line of thought, energy and matter that starts from a postulate of harmony.
    • There are identifications along the line that inhibit exteriorization, ability to look, power to know, and perception of truth.
    • The personal anomalies due to identifications need to be resolved on a gradient.
• Step Six: Define “know-point” in the Tech Dictionary.
  • See Glossary: Scientology
• Step Seven: Study the early Dianetic Auditor Bulletin on straightwire in Tech Volume One. Study Creation of Human Ability references regarding spotting objectively and subjectively. Demo “recall,” “spotting” and “return” and how these differ.
  • See Glossary: Scientology
• Step Eight: This is the processing section which is done solo.
  • COMMENTS:
    • On OT VIII, one is resolving anomalies among postulates.
    • Key anomalies point to the beliefs about “self” and “God”.
    • The process used is looking at differences and similarities.
    • The only effective process is “Neti, Neti” as described in POSTULATE MECHANICS (see Chapter 11)
• Step Nine: Run as above with Valence Splitting, etc.
  • COMMENTS:
    • On OT VIII, one is still resolving anomalies of valence.
• Step Ten: Use alternate repetitive straightwire.
  • COMMENTS:
    • On OT VIII, one is trying to recognize truth, reality and solutions.
    • The idea of “another” focuses on a valence.
    • The idea of “I” or “you” focuses on a valence too.
    • The idea of “cause and control” focuses on disharmony.
• Step Eleven: Do all steps to full EP. End on all wins until persistent F/N dies down.
  • COMMENTS:
    • The idea of “your theta” is an anomaly.
    • On OT VIII, one is trying to blow valences such as “I” and “God” while assuming them unknowingly at the same time through the attempt to be cause and in control.
    • See The OT VIII Question

Proper OT VIII

The correct approach to OT VIII is to resolve anomalies so one may attain the natural state of harmony. This approach is outlined below.
