To try to make Jesus into a humanistic ideal instead of a divine Savior is to run counter to all the historical facts about Him.
and yet: if you or I claimed for ourselves the things Jesus claimed for Himself, we would be carted off for an intensive period of shock treatment.
So it's okay to believe the "historical facts" (I like how he interchanges "facts" and "claims") of one of those crazy people. I sure hope they got the right one!
I like the Gospel of Relativity, by Walter Starcke. It's hard to find but it's a pretty good esoteric / visionary work from the 70s. Anyway the relevant part is that whenever Jesus says "I" in the Bible, He means "US". Which is to say, anything he does, we can do. That we can't shews how well his true teachings have been suppressed / perverted.
It was really surprising to read the first time since I thought it was going to be science fiction (and it starts with an extended sci-fi-ish parable of future life once we have all learned Christ-like powers).
I wish I could point you to a good source (it's not on Absolute Elsewhere for some reason, even though it has the Sensuous Man?!).

C.S. Lewis is a hack.
