Everything is an illusion. The concept of the individual/ego/self is just that, a concept only, and all of its manifestations are illusions. Jesus the individual is not God, because individuals are separate from God. However, this individual transcended/escaped the illusion of the self, thus becoming one with God and the universe. As he said, "I and the Father are one." I believe Siddhartha (Buddha) did likewise. Observe instances in the Bible of the phrase 'that christ' vs 'the christ'.
As for accepting Jesus as your Savior, I think there is some Catholic deception here in pushing dependence upon an external savior, which is disempowering and thus great for subduing the masses. Jesus said you will have everlasting life if you believe in him, I think what he meant by this is that if you believe in what he says and follow his example, you can escape the illusion of death thus achieving immortality, just as he did. The virgin birth narrative is disinfo inspired by pagan mythology (Mythras, Ra, etc.) because a story of the resurrection of the literal biological son of God is meaningless, but if a mortal Son of Man (as he regularly referred to himself) can resurrect, then any mortal can do it. This is revolutionary and this is what the Kikes fear the most.
But I'm not saying you can't count on him for whatever salvation means to you. Jesus lives and he's a good dude who will help you out when you need it, especially dealing with demons. I personally have invoked his name to dispell demons when they were bothering me in my dreams and semi-sleep consciousness state, on a few occasions. And if you want to try taking on demons with your own power, you can count on Jesus as a safety net so you have nothing to fear. When you've passed to the other side and wander lost through Purgatory, just call his name and have faith that he will show you da wei.
He is called King of Kings, and I find this appropriate because I am the sovereign king of myself and I would have no king above me except for Jesus.
“As for accepting Jesus as your Savior, I think there is some Catholic deception here in pushing dependence upon an external savior”
This is everything as to my final hold up with Christianity....but Im suspecting this is a final trapping of the ego. I just don’t know. I’m working my way backwards. I discovered God though an out of body experience. The longer I’ve lived from that vision for some reason I can not escape the sense that the Christian philosophy is truest way back up the Source....but accepting this opens up new baggage with the implications of God as a particular man.
Was Logos not also revealed through John the Baptist? Did he not also do similar works to that of Yeshua?
I worry about how demonic things have become and that ‘narrow path’ could be narrower than I comprehend. I accept Jesus as a divine carrier of God’s will. But to accept him as the only way, externalizing God as a very narrow path through one single man has been difficult for me to accept.
Yet ...
”...but if a mortal Son of Man (as he regularly referred to himself) can resurrect, then any mortal can do it. This is revolutionary and this is what the Kikes fear the most.”
... does not sit right with me. I intuitively reject this.
If your intuition says no, then approach with caution. I've approached it from a logical philosophical angle. Like I said already, everything is an illusion, this can be known intuitively and is also backed up by evidence, such as prophesy, miracles, and theoretical physics and physics experiments that show that particles' behaviour can be influenced by observation. Everything is just an imagination projected by the Source mind, and that includes you and everything comprising the illusion of 'you'. Your own consciousness is, at its core, just the Source watching the world through your eyes.
Your intuitive rejection may be due to the close parallel between the 'any mortal can do it' philosophy and the luciferian transhumanist ideal of becoming your own god. (Like Lucifer tried to do.) The key difference is that in the satanic version, the individual becomes a god, separate from the real God, whereas what Jesus did was become one with the already eternally existing God by denying the Self. I think this concept should be taught with caution, because someone who's not ready could easily misunderstand and go down the transhumanist route, so for the uninitiated it's probably better to just trust in Jesus until they're ready to go deeper.
All this doesn't necessarily mean that Jesus won't save you anyway. If you can't achieve self-existence on your own, he could still grant you immortality by simply lifting the curse of death from you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to follow his example to do what he did. You can fail horribly reaching for the bar he set but you'll still be a better person for trying. Also note that I believe in reincarnation (to put it simply) so I think if you have unlimited lifetimes on Earth and other experiences through the multiverse then eventual transcendence doesn't seem so unattainable.
And I think this lesson is paralleled in our contemporary situation. Jesus very well may come back sometime to blast all the clowns away with fire and brimstone and officially establish the Kingdom of Heaven on the Earth, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be taking the initiative to do what we need to to manifest the Kingdom ourselves instead of waiting around for him to do it for us. I think this is the next big lesson we need to learn as a species, to get closer to God by stepping up and taking responsibility for making difficult judgements that we'd rather leave up to him. If Adam had stood up for his household and laid down the law, he would not have been cucked by the Serpent.
>I just don’t know.
That's the first step toward knowing, so good job you're on the right path, now take the next few steps wherever they lead you. If simply trusting in Jesus to save you will help you to deny your Self, then sure, that's probably just what you need at this stage of your journey. Ego is a tricky bitch - any effort to escape it is itself an expression of Ego, so I think it's great to just say "I don't know" and just chill with your eyes and ears and inner eye open for whatever helpful hints God throws at you. Basically everything I've said here is just what I've built out of my own collection of these hints.
I recommend reading the Gospel of Thomas, it's a lot of cool stuff that Jesus said:

It was cut because it's too juicy. And there's probably a ton of other good stuff in that pdf but I haven't read most of it myself.
