Once he gets you to this point he introduces his own ministry as the one flow, one way and one tree. And himself as the one authority. Gottcha!

Yes. Lee was a master of manipulation of the mind of a listener. He knew how to trick people (once upon a time including us) to buy his pabulum.
And that "simple Chinese preacher" shtick put everyone off guard. No one expected to be manipulated. Yet there he was creating the façade from the very beginning. We may have had enjoyable times, but he was setting us up for what was to come. And the heat in that pot of water was turned on from the beginning. Just very low at first.
