And he was only in his 20s, I believe.
I remember reading that Nee drew Spiritual Man from Jesse Penn-Lewis. Which means that when Nee wrote that book he was just being an exceptional student. And wasn't getting revelation (of the supernatural sort) but was instead, as a kid, just getting the big head about himself.
