He had tapped into his higher self, just like Mother Mary, Buddah, Dali Lahma, St. Germain.

Jesus says that he is the Son of Man. You're right in saying he never said "I am God", but he implies it in a way that, unless you choose to ignore it, would mean he was at least of divine nature. Jesus said: "Even before the creation, there I am". "I am" is the name God gives himself in the bible a couple of times. The one who simply "is" without any beginning or end, who needs no creator. Jesus also implies that he has authority to forgive sins, which the pharisees say is blasphemous because "only God can forgive sins".

To quote my favorite author CS Lewis:

'I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of thing Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunaticâ??on a level with the man who says he is a poached eggâ??or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.'
