                                      TOP SECRET DEBRIEF

                                              1991
 

          From recall this is a record of the full OT VIII procedure of the C of
          S as delivered in 1991.  It is not the original nor is it a perfect
          record but it is accurate and will get the result if followed by a
          competent solo auditor who is flat on all earlier levels with all
          overts off. The wording of the processes are exact to the best of my
          recall and the procedures are exact for sure.  Any differences are
          extremely minor (if at all). I spent several weeks reconstructing  all
          this from memory (needless to say I have an excellent memory as a
          result of the rundown). I am breaking security as I disagree that  this
          should only be released to an elite in C of S. I do, however, ask  it
          not be released to psyches or "squirrels" Please treat this data
          responsibly.  It is the key to the only truth possible.

          The whole secret involves what truly is the relationship of the Supreme
          Being to each individual thetan.  To simply say it's "me" is
          oversimplified to tears but has some truth to it.  The real key is the
          perception and ability to have full certainty and, therefore,
          perception on all confusions and dist  'ortions of MEST and form and life
          units as well as the ability to perceive exact identity and its full
          relationship to its true source and history from its origin as the
          theta 1-ocly, the true Sth Dynam4-c @@h order to truly view tiiis as a
          present time beingness one has to clean up, once and for all, his own
          confusions regarding these points.  The key is being flat on all earlier
          levels and being honest with self as to the truth on each step of the
          rundown:.

          In doing this procedure one has to acknowledge the lie of time and
          persistence and the lie of the illusion that MEST is solid and
          unchangable.  Another key given is the fact that a being can exist
          independent of time and present time and can chose any point on the
          track as his present time.  The PT body can confuse this, as attention
          to some degree is always hung up on the PT body.  This fixes the thetan
          into one present time and one time stream when in fact there are many
          as you will discover.

          Do not attempt this rundown if you ate incomplete on any earlier level,
          incomplete on or in need of "sec checks," involved in any out ethics,
          PTS or involved in any pressing PT situations that call your attention
          back to this present time.  If you are in need of review on any point
          above, get it before starting the rundown or it will miss and be
          meaningless or wasted.

          If your attention is in any way governed by OT 7 (NOT9) or earlier
          materials on OT levels, this rundown will miss and be wasted. This     also
          goes for Out int. If int/ext is a concern at all, get reviewed and flattened on OT 1
          to 7 before attempting this rundown. The techniques involve simple spotting techniques
          as in R2 processes or straightwire references.
 

              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    [presumably these are used in review or
             higher levels later].  Keep the ruds in.

             Step Three: Listen to the History Of Man tapes and star rate M4
             Concepts in them (The Time Track Of Theta).

             Step Four: Clear the definition of "truth" and Clay demo it [Tech
             Dictionary].
 

            Step Five: Clay demo the concept Of the theta line branching out
            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
            was not fully completed On OT VII (NOTS).  Sort this out from the above data.
 

            Step 'Six: Define "know-point" in the Tech Dictionary.

            Step Seven: Study the early DAB 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.

            Step Eight: THis is the processing section which is done solo. Do not
            fall into running pictures or incidents. In others words, do not use "recall"
            or "return" use "spot" only.

    [1] Fly the ruds.

    [2] Clear and false data strip "truth" "identity" "time", "place"
     "form" and "event", each to EP. Restudy the defintions in the Tech Dictionary.

    [3] Clear and false data strip the "8th dynamic", "God", "Infinity" "self' anyone
      you have identified as a god and any other wording you may have for the 8th dynamic.

    [4] Valence split (Similarity/Difference process) each answer on the reading questions
      below by alternately spotting differences and similarities between self and the
      terminal to a blow accompanied by a small blowdown f/n or larger.

    [A] Spot a person or object in this L/T or on the backtrack you have identified as or who
      represented the 8th dynamic to you. Valence split

                                              2 -

           to EP and then recheck to an F/Ning question on call or thought.  End
           the session for the day and recheck to ensure it's F/Ning the next day
           before continuing.

           [B) Spot a person who looked/looks like you.  Handle as above.

           [C) spot a person who looked/looks dissimilar to you.  Handle as above.

           [DI Spot a person who is how you wanted/want to be.  Handle as above.

           [El Spot a person who  is how you.didn't want to be. Handle as above.

           [F] Spot  a person who  you'd never want to be. Handle as above.

           [GI Spot  a person who  you want to be. Handle as above.

           [HI SDot  a person who  you identify as self [me). Handle as above.

           End on major stable win on the subject of identity.

  Step Nine:

           Run as above with Valence Splitting, etc.

           (1] Ruds as needed

           [2) Spot a being who is close in true identitv to you.

           [3) Spot a being who has the'same experiences as you.

           [4] Spot a being who solves things as you have.

           [51 Spot a being you are or have been junior or subordinate     to as a
           thetan or in life.

           [61 Spot a being who you are/have been senior to in life or as a
           thetan.

           [7] Spot a person who postulates as you do.

           [8] SpGt a person who you postulate for.

           [9] Spot a person who may have postulated for you.

           [10] Spot the situation or problem each of the above beings has solved
           for you.  Get prior confusion to the first time ever and spot the first
           moment of the first prior confusion.

           End on major stable win on the subject audited; however, do Step 10
           before proceeding.

           Step Ten:

           Use alternate repetitive straightwire.

           End on wins.  End section when nothing reads anymore and you have a
           major.stable win.

            [1)  Spot a truth in self.
                 Spot  a truth in others.

            [2)  Have  another spot a truth in    you.
                 Have  another spot a truth in    himself/herself.

            [31  Spot  a reality you have solved with a lie.
                 Spot  a reality you have not solved with a lie.

            [41  Spot  a reality you have substituted for a truth.
                 Spot  a reality you have substituted for a lie.

            [51  Spot  a reality another has substituted for a truth
                 Spot  a reality another has substituted for a lie

            [61  Spot  a reality you postulated for another.
                 What  did it solve for you ?
                 what  did it solve for him/her ?

            [71  Spot  a reality another has postulated for you.
                 What  did it solve for him/her?
                 What  did it solve for you?

            [8]  Have  another spot a reality another has postulated in
                 himself/herself.
                 What did it solve,for him/her?
                 What  did it solve for you?

            [91  Locate a  reality you found safe.
                 Spot the  truth about it. (to a  blow, small blowdown    FIN or larger)

            [10] Locate a  reality another found safe.
                 SpoL' the truth about it. (to a blow, small blowdown    FIN or larger)

            [11] Locate a  reality another found safe for you.
                 Spot the  truth about it. (to a blow, small blow down    FIN or
                 larger)
                 Have the  other person spot the truth about it. (to a blow, small
                 blow down FIN or larger)

            [12] Locate a reality you have found safe for another.

              [15) Spot a reality you can have another create for you.
                   Postulate a truth for it.

         Note: Steps (16] to [19] are a bracket. Each set should blow down on
            the let go step. End on a win, cog or big change and then do the next
             step.

            [16] Create a future  for someone.
                  Place them in it.
                  Postulate some truth about it.
                  Now let go of it

            [17]  Create a future for yourself.
                  Place yourself in it.
                  Place another in it.
                  Postulate some truth about it.
                  Now let go of it.

            [18]  Recall a truth you agreed didn't happen.

                  Now let go of it.
                  (Repeat to a small blowdown FIN, big win)

           Step Eleven:

           Do all steps  to full EP. End on all wins until persistent FIN dies
           down.

           [A] Spot each portion of your theta that was abandoned.

           [B]   Spot each portion of your theta you asserted was not yours.

           [C]   Spot each portion of theta you asserted was yours that wasn't.

           (DI   Spot your PT creations in this MEST universe.

           [El   Spot PT creations that were not yours in this MEST universe.

           [F]   Spot any old creations that are hung up.
                 Spot the truth about these to a blow.
                 Note: Don't concentrate on the untruths, just the truths.

           [G]   Spot yourself as a source for various things in this and other
                 universes to full certainty.

           [H]   Spot another 8th Dynamic creation as independent from yourself.
                 Spot where it is.

[I]   Spot points where  you have experienced joy or ecstacy in creating
                 in IL--his lifetime and on the back track.

           [J]  Spot other beings  you feel high ARC or love for.
                 Spot the truths in these beings. (each to a read FIN)

           [K]   Spot some theta you have created.

           [L]   Create some theta. Uncreate it. (to a read as it blows off however
                 small it is)

           Redo A to L above  until the TA floats or a true unkillable persistent
           FIN appears and you have had a revelation regarding truth or 8th
           Dynamic creation.  This is the end of OT VIII.  Note: I wasn't privy to
           any C/Singing or review techniques or other EP data.  Beyond this there
           is no confidential EP to my knowledge.
