Lee was a Gnostic. He was telling secret gnosis. He called it The Recovery. He was actually recovering Gnosticism. He was following a higher God. It made him God's authority on the earth.

But his church thing was a recovery of early 2nd century orthodoxy, and the development of a hierarchy of authority, with him on top.
