According to "Peronnik" (a pseudonym of temple member Robert Chabrier) in his book, "Pourquoi la Resurgence de l'Ordre du Temple? Tome Premier: Le Corps (Why a Templar Revival? Vol. One: The Body) [[1975]], pp. 147-149, the aims of the OTS included: establishing "correct notions of authority and power in the world"; an affirmation of the primacy of the spiritual over the temporal; assisting humanity through a great "transition"; and preparing for the [[Second Coming]] of [[Jesus]] as a solar god-king and furthering a unification of all Christian churches and [[Islam]].
==Founders of the Solar Temple==
It is stated that the OTS absorbed another neo-templar organization called ''Foundation Golden Way'', which was led by '''''Joseph Di Mambro''''' ([[1926]] - [[1995]]), who was born at [[Pont Saint-Esprit]] in [[France]]. Before founding the OTS, Joseph Di Mambro was also part of a [[Rosicrucian]] organization called [[AMORC]] (Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis), from [[1956]] to [[1970]]. Di Mambro, who had been trained as a clock maker and jeweler, became interested in esoteric religions at an early age. He was arrested on swindling charges which prompted his resettlement in Switzerland.
