I’m gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you’re experiencing something close to a manic episode.
When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?
Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?
How long have you been feeling like this?
Do you have someone you can communicate the way you’re feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?
Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you’re probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you’re probably not God.
Don’t worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it’s likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what’s going on.
The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I’m feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:
“This too shall pass”, it’s a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.

My name is his, my last name means he who supplants.
I do not feel I am god, nor that I am Jesus. I just want to be. Since 8 I wanted to be a buddhist. At my age now, I just want to find meaning in the madness I witness.
The only meaning seems simple, a stoic life. An ancient philosophy, far beyond mine. I regularly use weed and it’s how I was allowed time to meditate. I felt i could control my thoughts finally, and all I see is to be kind.
Now my dependency is ending, for I have found what I want to do. I want to help people, the only thing I wanted as a child. I was just too afraid.
I regularly drink, eat and sleep. I am happy with my life and this is not ego, narcissism, or anything. I feel shame, for I feel unworthy, incapable. The only thing I have is my name, my part in the script the world orients.
An act most heathenous and self righteous.
I appreciate your input. As I know these things and it is nice to reflect and put these thoughts to writing. It is why I asked here, only social forum I can see genuine interactions.
I do not feel I am god, or Jesus. I am me. Think more the eastern philosophy of upbringing. How you raise someone, with a set of expectations of beliefs and ideas. Eventually someone will roll the dice, in the right storm to form. Every person is unique for this very reason. It’s why I fear, I do not want to forfeit my life, my comforts, for this. I am content, however I find it inexcusable to take my wants over those of the ones I encounter.
