Weirdness just beyond.

How do I cobble these disparate ideas together?

a belief in angels [a new belief, one I am reluctantly accepting into my cosmology]
an infinite-personal God
reincarnation [yes, somehow I wrapped my brain around and throughout the concept]
enlightenment (or 'peak-experiences')
faith as a by-product of such (peak) experiences
heaven--but not hell
the possibility of bodhisattvahood

Yes, I am a wacky Christian. *sigh*

I'd say I accept most of these concepts as well, at least in a "could be" kind of way. :) I don't see any of them as necessarily contradicting one another directly, do you?

I guess not. I suppose my question behind the question is, how do I square these beliefs with the "standard" Christian beliefs that are being communicated today?

Why do you want to?

I don't know. Perhaps so that I don't sound so crazy to other Christians.
