Scientology reveals its newest masters of the universe!
Here they are, world, the newest super beings who have achieved Scientology’s legendary Operating Thetan Level Eight, the top step on the Bridge To Total Freedom.
According to the promises of founder L. Ron Hubbard, these folks can leave their bodies at will, are impervious to disease, and have total recall, raised IQs, and perfect vision.
Most importantly, as OT 8s they are “cause over matter, energy, space, and time.” In other words, they can make reality change by their sheer will! A couple of examples that Hubbard himself claimed: That an OT could create automobiles out of thin air, and if they weren’t careful, could rip a hole in the earth’s atmosphere with their abilities, threatening all life on earth.
So, with each of them sinking a million or two into their journeys to these supernatural powers, culminating with OT 8 itself on the cruise ship Freewinds, how are they feeling now that they have achieved the near-godhood that Hubbard promised?
Scientology recently published these testimonials by graduates of “New OT VIII,” and we knew you’d want to see what they had to say about becoming big beings!
THE TRUTH IS IN YOUR HANDS
Step into the OT realm where your abilities are boundless, your impact far-reaching and your future infinite
When you embark on the Freewinds for the first actual OT Level, you are beginning a journey that is uniquely yours. With each session on New OT VIII, barriers vanish and the horizon becomes boundless. As truth comes to light, you are ready to create a brilliant future. Our latest New OT VIIIs share what it is like to embrace the limitless possibilities that await. Let their stories inspire your own journey to the top of the Bridge.
JONAS BRAMBILLASCA
Before I began auditing on New OT VIII, I saw many people coming out of their New OT VIII sessions, and I could sense the difference in their beingness. It was breathtaking. I felt hugged by them, as if they were my longtime friends. Then it was my time to go in session on New OT VIII.
The emotions and wins I felt while auditing day by day were on a completely new band of the Tone Scale — a band I was not even aware existed before.
At a certain point, I realized that I was granting beingness to everyone without even trying. I was just simply doing it. The ease of living and the ease of just being me is like nothing I'd ever experienced.
I can see why New OT VIII is the first actual OT Level. I feel invincible and, from now on, my life will be as I wish it to be.
RENEE BITINAS
My Bridge has been such a gift and I felt very powerful. Yet I knew that something was lacking.
On New OT VIII, I finally found what I had been missing — it was right in front of me.
New OT VIII gave me the ability to live again and to see and postulate clearly. In the past, I had an anxiety and worry about my life and the future, which I didn't understand how to solve. New OT VIII fully handled this. I now feel calm and unshakable.
The joy of living is now — in this moment. And I can truly say I have found it. New OT VIII is such a magical level.
TINA MCGURK
Fifty years ago, I was a young hippie girl seeking something when I showed up for a lecture at the local Mission. That day I decided to take a course on communication, and my life changed forever. As I have gone up the Bridge, I have moved steadily from the extreme complexity of a MEST being to the quiet, beautiful simplicity of just me.
I've always had a high level of ARC for life and the people around me, but with New OT VIII it's different. It's not just about me, really, but it's about the rest of my dynamics. After being given the incredible gift of Truth Revealed from LRH, I feel a renewed sense of responsibility for my fellow planet-mates.
I think of the condition of the world right now as a reactive mind on steroids. Thankfully, we can bring actual help and hope, so there is the potential to turn this situation around.
For many years, I struggled with what my purpose is. I've discovered it on New OT VIII: It is to be useful. If all of us become really useful we would see real change.
New OT VIII is a stable state. It is a powerful, full-of-opportunity condition, and I have an eternity of future ahead of me.
ROSI WYAN
I am from Indonesia. I was born on the island of Sumatra and grew up on the island of Java. My parents sent me to the United States to go to school, and I studied at the University of Texas, right by the Org in Austin. When I would wait for a campus bus, I used to see this banner on Dianetics that read, "When life is a battleground, your mind is your best weapon."
Eventually, I was routed into the Org. Since that time, it has been a journey. I became a Class IV Auditor and continued up the processing side of the Bridge.
Just in the last two months, I completed New OT VIII and the L Rundowns. I then came straight to the Freewinds.
New OT VIII is very personal and, in session, I handled so much charge that I either cried for joy or laughed — or I did both at the same time.
After one particular session, suddenly my wins from all of the Bridge actions I have done came alive! They connected together and that validated me as a being.
In the past, I used to apply Be-Do-Haves by always working on "Do-Do-Do" and with force. Then on New OT VIII, I was able to just be easily and voila, havingness came easily, too. I am so joyful and full of life. In other words, this girl is on fire!
As the first Indonesian New OT VIII, I will ensure Scientology Technology reaches the 13,000 islands of Indonesia.
MICHELE MUCCI
My journey started 12 years ago when I was 24 and doing the Basics. While listening to a lecture, I had a cognition that I could attain the State of Clear. I thought, "The Bridge is for everyone, not only for older people!"
After doing the OT Levels in Copenhagen, I went to Flag and started Solo NOTs. And I was not prepared for how much my life was going to change.
Soon after I attested to New OT VII, I came to the Freewinds for New OT VIII. This level was a gift for all the work I had done up to this point. While I became simpler with every step on the Bridge, on New OT VIII, the impact was different. Every win was bigger and happened faster. I came out of every session a different person.
I am not the result of my past. I am calm yet full of energy, and I am bigger than ever!
JOHN DOORNBOS
I am trained, and I used to think of auditing as something I did to other people. But shortly after my wife attested to the State of Clear, she began moving through the Advanced Courses. This brought about my own cognition that I should be moving up the processing side, too. So I got into it and now I have attained New OT VIII!
For a long time, my life had a touch of franticness. There was a part of my mind that was convinced I should always be doing something else. If I was at work, I thought, I should be at home. If I was at home, I thought, I should be at work. But a few days into New OT VIII, I realized I was just here — and it was fine.
For much of my life, I have felt comfortable assuming this beingness or that beingness, doing this job or that one, having this thing or that. While auditing on New OT VIII, for the first time, I could simply exist. All I was doing was existing, and it was wonderful!
On New OT VIII, I shed complexity after complexity until I arrived at a final simplicity, which is that I am.
TSO-HSU (STEVE) WU
After I attested to New OT VII, I thought that I was already in excellent shape. I felt happy and my self-determinism was high. But when I started on New OT VIII, the charge that I blew in session was so much. I didn't even know it existed in my universe!
My space keeps expanding like there is no limit, not even the sky. My tone level is so high that it far exceeds what a human body is capable of experiencing. I feel that I am operating from a much higher level. I no longer have any stuck attention in the past. I am myself. I am in present time, and I create my future through postulates.

Group Therapy: Our round table of rowdy regulars on the week’s news
Once again, they no longer promise that the suckers will become cause over blah blah blah. The level just says: "Truth Revealed".
The truth being that it was all lies all along.
You have to get all the way to OT XV or thirty-four or something to be able to zap your friends and relatives for fun and profit. With Dave in charge it will never happen. But the same could be said for anyone. The dream is a nightmare.
The mystery is why they are all smiling and happy as they hold up their certified true shill certificates. That is simply because, like all of Scientology, they have just had a fake peak experience. Like licking toads or almost killing yourself in an overheated sauna, you always have a brief brush with what seems like eternity. For a few, the ones who don't survive, it is true.
For the normal human who survives, it is like the runner's high or a typical evening of hookers and blow. The next morning sucks. For these suckers, they have reached the peak of Scientology and there ain't no mo'. Guess they will have to move on to the Landmark Foundation or a course in Vodou.
What kind of high do the OT8s get when they 'attest' to 8? After many years of programming yourself with Lroon's screeds, what 'cognition' do you get? I suspect it is more like the release of endorphins that runners get after a marathon. Throw in all the adulation the staff throws your way and who wouldn't want to be OT8?
Never mind all the money (500k or more?) never mind any family or friends thrown out along the way, your new $cieno family will happily ensconce you, as long as your fealty and money hold out.
