1968

Closely following the release of OT III, the next three OT levels -- OT IV, V and VI -- were released in January of 1968.

While carrying out his research on the upper levels of the Bridge, Mr. Hubbard was living aboard the flagship Apollo, where he was training Sea Org members in their duties as seamen and as highly effective organizational staff and executives.

He was also making major strides in nearly every other area of Scientology technology, including breakthroughs in handling the effects of drugs, study and effective education, repair of cases slowed or stalled in auditing, precise metering and fully standardized Grades auditing and case supervision.

In the fall of 1968, Mr. Hubbard called a select group of auditors from around the world to the flagship for a course that would make them true specialists of Standard Tech -- the Class VIII Course.

A Test of the Whole Track Recall By L. Ron Hubbard	Limited first edition published by the Publications Organization, Worldwide, Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex, England, 1968. Later republished in Mission into Time, 1972.
OT IV, V and VI Materials	The materials for all three levels were released simultaneously in January 1968. Scientologists came to the Advanced Organization aboard the Apollo from around the world to receive these OT levels.

The Sea Organization Symbol	The Sea Organization, founded 12 August 1967, is a fraternal organization existing within the formalized structure of the churches of Scientology. The Sea Organization symbol is worn as cloth badges and rings. It is also worn on belt buckles, ties and other items of clothing and accessories The laurel wreath represents victory and has been used throughout history to crown poets, artists and champions. It not only represents the physical victory, but the series of inner victories achieved by the individual. It is associated with the head -- traditional abode of the spirit. The star is the symbol of the spirit. The five-pointed star signifies "rising up toward the point of origin." The laurel wreath and star in combination signify the victory of the spirit. Its proper color is always gold. The star is not trapped in its victory, but is in the open field toward the top of the wreath, allowing free exit beyond its victory. The symbol is in a field of blue, symbolizing truth.
The Class VIII Badge	The Class VIII Badge is a shield with two horizontal stripes across the top with the word "auditor" and the Roman numeral VIII. The bottom of the shield contains the Scientology symbol and beneath that the banner with the words "Standard Tech." The Class VIII Badge is all red with gold lettering and numbering. It is given to permanent Class VIII Auditors only.
The Distribution Division 6 Badge	The purpose of Division 6, the Distribution Divisions of the Church of Scientology, is to make Scientology grow. Its symbol and the symbol worn by its personnel is the affinity-reality-communication (ARC) triangle interwoven with the symbol for infinity.

Class VIII Course Lectures Sea Organization Flagship Apollo	In September of 1968, a select group of auditors from Scientology organizations around the world were called to the Sea Organization's flagship Apollo for what was to be the toughest, most exacting technical course in Scientology history: The Class VIII Course. In a series of nineteen lectures, Mr. Hubbard delineated exactly what standard Scientology technology is, the spectacular results it invariably achieves, and precisely how, as Class VIIIs, course graduates would put it in and keep it in. The lectures are today an integral part of Class VIII Auditor training. (Reproduced on cassette for the Class VIII Auditor Course.)
