Джон Шелби Спонг - Вечная жизнь: новый взгляд. За пределами религии, мистики и науки

Жизнь бесценна. Я наслаждался моим путешествием по ней. И хочу, чтобы момент моего ухода из жизни был отмечен так, как встречали момент моего появления на свет, – с радостью и большими надеждами. Если в жизни мы соприкасались с запредельным и вечным, если были причастны к самосознанию, к любви и к вечному потоку бытия во Вселенной, тогда, как мне кажется, мы найдем в себе смелость завершить этот этап путешествия, когда наступит время, и встретить то, что будет дальше. И я считал бы так же, даже будь я уверен, что дальше нет ничего. Я хочу, чтобы решение закончить жизнь было и моим законным правом, и моей этической обязанностью. Хочу достойно жить, пока живу, и достойно умереть в должный час, – всё потому, что я считаю жизнь священной.
