Can you imagine how much the "inner life" and "inner light" stuff can get manipulated by the one who impersonates an angel of light?(2 Cor 11:4)

Not saying Guyon or Penn-Lewis or Fischbacher or anyone else was (or was not) influenced by dark forces. I am saying that a young, impressionable, ambitious man read and was clearly deeply affected by subjectivist writings, copped some of it for his own (Spiritual Man), it went on to be a big seller and suddenly he was BMOC with the idea that he was the Seer of the Divine Revelation. At least that was Witness Lee's title for him.

Then when Lee died, the Blendeds declared that the age of BMOC aka "Spiritual Giants" was over, and no more Revelation, but Re-heated Lee Leftovers.

"Today's Revelation is that there are no more Revelations". Why? ''Well, Lee is gone so God's oracle has shut off.''

At some point the delusion becomes pretty obvious to anyone except the most die-hard Kool Aid drinker. Subjectivity leads to the house of mirrors.
