Here is a quote from
Terry, which seems to confirm some of my suspicions on Lee being a merchandiser:

Lee did and taught some seemingly good things, which seemed to make him money (i.e. book, tape, and video sales, training fees, etc). He also did some not-so-good things (i.e. Daystar) which also made him & family some money. The common denominator was making money.
According to
Terry, Lee had an accepting and tolerant view of Lang's work until it threatened the money flow. Suddenly Lang was cast aside. Unprofitable, indeed.
