I think you are misreading scripture. It does not say that Jesus is the only way. It says that you can not get to God except through Jesus.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

This is a very true statement.

People do not understand spiritual growth. They imagine that it is like following another person down a path to a destination. It is not that way.

In order to find God, you must go within self. In doing so, your conscious awareness expands beyond your physical body and you begin to comprehend your reality directly from your soul or spirit. This is the true “Being born of the Spirit” that happens when the Holy Spirit helps us.

Rather than a linear trail, imagine the concept of Russian Nesting Dolls where we are the little doll in the middle and God is the large outer doll in which we exist. We can not get to God except by going through all the other dolls. I will not argue which of those dolls represents Jesus and which one the other enlightened teachers who came here to save us.

Jesus is my Savior as He lowered Himself to my level by being born in the flesh to teach us how to grow.

Try to read the rest of John 14 without this model of understanding:

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

I have made this journey many times and it is real. By the way, you will always perceive any level of consciousness above you as Light when you go within. God is Light.
