OT VIII is the highest current course and level in Scientology. Collectively, the OTS are referred to as Operating Thetan course materials. OT VIII is known as "The Truth Revealed".

"This Solo-audited level addresses the primary cause of amnesia on the whole track and lets one see the truth of his own existence. This is the first actual OT level and brings about a resurgence of power and native abilities for the being himself. This may be done at the Flag Ship Service Organization only."

The only known "Flag Ship Service Organization" is the Sea Org and is now based primarily on land but OT VIII is still delivered at sea on board the Sea Org's vessel, the Freewinds.

It was initally believed that the text of OT VIII was revealed to the outside world in the Fishman Affidavit. However, the Church of Scientology claims that Fishman's OT VIII, which says (among other things) that Jesus Christ was "lover of young boys and men", is a forgery and slanderous. The Church claimed OT VIII as a copyright violation in the trial of Arnaldo Lerma but later said this was a mistake.
