He never explained this kind of thing. He was just so enamored with "life" and "growth" he kept pushing it without tying the loose ends together.
Sorry, but there are a lot of problems with Lee's teaching on this subject. I would not suggest anyone just take it carte blanche.

The emphasis on growth over faithfulness established a hierarchy based on how many years in the LRC while deemphasizing the need to be faithful
