=== Founding ===
Following this, the ORT schismed. Jouret had no legal right to the ORT name, so he founded a splinter group in Geneva, Switzerland upon his ousting, alongside Di Mambro, in 1984.{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}}{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=220}} Jouret later claimed that this schism had been the will of the [[ascended master]]s, who had appeared to him two years prior and revealed to him a 13 year plan until the world ended.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}} This group was formally created 21 June 1984, and at the time of its creation the Golden Way Foundation was formally dissolved (though "Golden Way" was still used to refer to the group's Geneva commune, that still had 50 members).{{sfn|Clusel|Palmer|2020|p=223}} 

It was first called the ORT–Solar Tradition before being renamed the International Chivalric Order of the Solar Tradition ({{Langx|fr|Ordre international chevaleresque de Tradition solaire}}, OICTS or OICST) and finally the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS).{{sfn|Introvigne|2000|p=146}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}}{{efn|The "Order of the Solar Temple" may have initially been the inner circle of the OICST before becoming its main title.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}}}} Jouret, a compelling speaker, was the "front man" for this organization, though Di Mambro was the actual leader.{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|p=126}}{{sfn|Palmer|1996|p=303}}
