I knew of a brother in the LC like this. His name was Witness Lee.
Hello dear brother awareness,

This is why WL and the LC as a whole desperately needed the balance and wisdom of other ministers of Christ like TAS. TAS would have reminded them that ultimately the real issue is a heart which is right before the Lord and which loves the Lord. Without such a heart, all the "high peak" truths remain in the realm of mental understanding and never have the opportunity to produce the powerful transformation in our lives which God intends. O, how the truth must change us! O, how it must deal with us and change us!

How sad it is when the truths we hear puff us up and make us proud and disdainful of our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is not the purpose for which God sends forth His Word! The ministries of dear ones like TAS should have been available to serve as a restraint against such things and to re-orient us back to God's goal to head up all things in Christ and to have Christ become All in all.
