Wikinews: Church of Scientology's 'Operating Thetan' documents leaked online
Wikinews says ...
Wikinews has obtained 'Operating Thetan' (OT) documents of the Church of Scientology which were leaked via Wikileaks. Although some portions of the manual have been leaked previously, this is believed to be the first time the full unedited version has been leaked.
It includes a description of 8 Operating Thetan levels, including
The final level, 'OT8', you are to "have full certainty and, therefore, perception on all" of your issues. According to Hubbard, the 'OT8' manuals are supposed to stay aboard the Free Winds Scientology ship which has heavy security because nothing is supposed to leave the ship. Despite that, Hubbard himself claims to have smuggled out his own 'OT8' instructions for the "elite" Scientologists.

I wonder where the rest of the proceeds (that don't fall into the "portions" category above) will be going.

It's incredibly scary.
