== Death and legacy ==
Origas died 20 August 1983.{{sfn|Caillet|1997|p=131}} Jouret officiated his funeral.{{sfn|Chryssides|2006|p=127}} Following his death, the ideas of the group only became more bizarre.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=27}} Jouret became leader of ORT after he died, and attempted to be recognized in this position, but this was opposed by Germaine and Catherine Origas, Origas' daughter – the dispute may have also involved group funds.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}}{{sfn|Palmer|1996|pp=305–306}}{{sfn|Chryssides|2006|p=127}} Less than a year later he was forced out of the group, taking many of the members with him.{{Efn|Chryssides says the majority went with Catherine, while Hall & Schuyler say the majority went with Jouret.{{sfn|Chryssides|2006|p=127}}{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|p=126}}}}

As a result, ORT split in two. One group (the one led by Jouret, with 30 former ORT members) later formed the International Chivalric Order of the Solar Tradition (OICTS), later the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS), which was both a continuation of and a schism from ORT.{{Sfn|Caillet|2001|p=XLVII}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|pp=21, 26}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}}{{sfn|Palmer|1996|pp=305–306}} OICTS was a continuation of ORT as well as a schismatic group.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|p=30}} Jouret later claimed that this schism had been the will of the ascended masters, 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}}

In 1984, ORT was identified as a "very dangerous" group in a publication by the [[Centre contre les manipulations mentales]], a French [[anti-cult group]].{{sfn|Hall|Schuyler|2000|p=128}} The Order of the Solar Temple later became notorious for the mass murder-suicides committed by its members in the 1990s, which killed most of its high-ranking members.{{Sfn|Caillet|2001|p=XLVII}}{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|pp=21, 26}} The OTS inherited from Origas white supremacist ideas and apocalyptic ideology.{{sfn|Introvigne|2006|pp=30, 33}}
