the ground as a water which spreads more and more widely on it”. The dying woman is left in play of paints, as in streaming happiness – between vertical falling and horizontal rest. Thus Hodler celebrates disappearance of her flesh. Therefore our new spiritual vertical also develops on a descending line, reminding a turned letter Т. It differs from all other programs of spiritual self-improvement of mankind because most fairly declares general tendency into the Nothing:
1. Not to be born.
2. Not to exist at all.
3. And, hence, (according to AZsacra Zarathustra) as soon as possible to overtake death.
After a person manages to overtake death (for what it is absolutely not obligatory to die physically), vertical of his perfection directed downwards incorporates to the Spiritual Horizontal of the Nothing.
We see that Chanyshev is wrong - the God surely exists, but He exists outside of a life, so He is the Non-Existence. Spirituality also really exists, in spite of the fact that, among modern adherents of "a scientific picture of the world” transformed in object of religious worship, the concept of Spirituality is considered as a kind of medieval atavism. Actually the spiritual area of the Nothing is unique authentic reality, and”…every spiritual being is free from contradictions, accidents and illusions of a material life” (Alistair Crowley). The world, certainly, will be lost, but this event becomes a moment of definitive clearing of spirit from oppression of matter and a great triumph of the Non-existence. The life is a suffering - as first noble truth of the Buddhism teaches us, hence the destruction of sufferings consists of the destruction of matter. After all, “to comprehend process of clearing and to make possible settlement of freedom into a kingdom of causality and conditionality, it is necessary to recognize a principal possibility of destroying death as an external fact” (Vladimir Ern). When a person overtakes death, he transforms it into a fact of his own spiritual life, that is, in the internal fact. To know that all passes, and to feel happiness –just in this a higher step of spiritual self-development or the Spiritual Horizontal of the Nothing consists.
The Nothing also is that many medieval mystics named God. The Nothing exists by means of everything: by means of you, and by means of all the rest, by means of everything that is perceived and unperceived. In spite of that all around us is divided, there is the only united form of life in the Universe – the Non-existence. A sense can be defined with relation to something. And relation arises, when there is a division. But if the Nothing is everything, Uniform, if there is no division - how to find sense? Hence, the required sense contains in the Nothing itself, which is equivalent eternity. After all, if to cease to consider the Non-existence only from one point of view - concerning a life – there is possible to understand eternity of the Non-existence. And for this purpose reason should leave a condition of absorption in daily occurrence, transforming a life into obviously hopeless “struggle for existence". "I exist – here is my unique trouble”, - one of the Sartre's heroes speaks. Actually a person struggles not for existence, but exclusively with his own understanding of the Non-existence. People care of their bodies and do not know that their nature is uniform with the Void. For a limited consciousness of mediocrity the Non-existence reveals as a threat while threat and sufferings are born by a life. After arrival to true understanding of the Non-existence, all that is perceived as loss actually turns around clearing. No losses in time, biological existence can be compared by that is got as a result of this clearing. And an understanding of the Absolute Nothing which presents already here is got. It is present at you. It is you, and you are it, even if yet do not understand it. The required understanding will mean termination of a senseless competition of a person with associates and with itself.
The God of Absolute Nothing is born owing to destruction. The creation the Nothing by means of death consists in daily overtaking death. Our life is too short to spend it for a life.

CHAPTER 5. THE OUTCOME.

“It is necessary to admit that the pessimism literally understood only by the laymen – it confuse to a morbid depression – allows to look rather vigorously and consolatory at the world surrounding you. As all is finally the Nothing and has only relative value, to worry there is for nothing”. (August Strindberg)

... The Understanding and realization of everything here it is told, demands presence of a certain kind of strength of mind which comes only into prepared space. This spiritual force feeds by will for death. Ancient Romans said “respise finem” that means “pay attention to the business end”. The outcome is a vector of flight and prosecution when overtaking death Overnoumen becomes a persecutor.

It is hardly probable that in the history of philosophy somebody represented a tragic element of a human life more strongly, than Buddha. A gloomy sight on the world which is present in implicit form in the Upanishads, occupies a substantive provision in the doctrine of Buddha. He comes to a conclusion that a life is a suffering, aspiration to preservation of individuality is painful, and constant changes of destiny are awful. Imperfection of a human nature forces us to understand that any life is damnation. Therefore a despaired person exhausted with its consciousness, exclaims: "I wish to die!" It is possible to get rid of sufferings, only having ceased to exist. People conceiving these, according to Dostoevsky's expression, “last questions” are always oppressed. Thus, Kant in his article entitled "Failure of all philosophical attempts of Theodicea" (1791) asks a question: “Whether any sane person lived long enough time and reflecting on value of human existence, will want to be engaged in this boring vital game again?” The existential despair of great thinkers is a consequence of their thinking. Knowledge – is an illness. It is much easier to a person who does not think.
The German philosopher of 20 century Hans Faihinger considered that only pessimism provides to generate an objective view on the world and on real state of affairs. According to his representations, if rationality is essentially limited, it is necessary to use irrational means of knowledge and first of all – the Will. So thinking acts as a tool of the Will, and being directed by the Will, it gets new force and possibilities.
A main mission of mankind and of every person includes comprehension and realization of the Nothing. The one who operates according to his own mission, is helped by inertia of all the Universe. According to philosophy of the Taoism, all the possible ways contain the only Way (the Tao) on which the world and its components move. This Way conducts from the Nothing through its comprehension by the people back into the Definitive Nothing. It is necessary not to forget that general restriction of requirements would have for the material world much more serious consequences, than a most destructive war. Just for this reason a Tao-aggression of the Overnoumen is directed on destruction of matter and on creation of spirituality. Thus is unique positive understanding of life as a struggle which approaches general transition into the Nothing. “I call you not for work, but for struggle “, - thus nietzschean Zarathustra spoke. So we may distinguish two kinds of sense-creative and sense-distractive activity. The first one is a process of interaction between a person and world during which person satisfies his requirements. It also is so-called work. Usually occurs that a labour activity (work), and also consumption of its results create a kind of substitute sense of life directed on a statement of life in material sphere. After all, reason of a person searches for every possible dodges to cease to think the Nothing. But human thinking is also display of the Nothing that is why every kind of activity and a result of each concrete human life and a result of the human History - everything give all the same initial zero. So remains not quite clear, what for in general to spend forces on existing and to pay for each effort which is falling outside limits of the pure fact of existence. The unique exit consists in refusing not only results of activity, but also an activity itself, having directed the best part of our possibilities to a productive spiritual channel. Therefore Tao-aggression of the Overnoumen acting as activity of second kind, is shown through spontaneous direct action which helps to overtake death and on its sense is opposite to activity. Thus when Napoleon was asked about a secret of his strategy he answered: “It is necessary, without deliberating, to be got involved in fight, and the rest will dare by itself".
"Superfluous consciousness disturbs to any business (including a life) too long conversations about sexuality kill it. Sensuality as a scourge of decaying societies - is an encroachment on an instinct, the organized impotence. It is impossible to reflect with impunity on feats for which no reflections are necessary. An orgazm never was a philosophical event”, - wrote thereupon Emil Choran.
According to Lev Tolstoy’s doctrine – both riches, and power, and life, that is everything that people with such a diligence equip and protect, if all of this values something, but only a pleasure to reject it. “To win freedom and sacred "Not" even in spite of a debt - it is necessary, for this aim, to become a Lion”, - thus the nietzschean Zarathustra spoke. The direct action expressing Great Refusal - here is unique kind of an act which is not humiliating. A pleasure from Refusal in is similar to paradoxical delight of despair. Thereupon history of life and death of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima is very indicative.
During his rather short life (1925-1970), Mishima also became famous also as a sportsman-body builder, a director, an actor of theatre and cinema, a conductor of symphonic orchestra, a pilot, a traveler and a photographer. On November, 25th, 1970 he has made an attempt to monarchic revolution and, having suffered defeat, has made hara-kiri. Philosophical views of Mishima are most full expressed in his comments to the medieval code of Samurais “Hagakure Njumon”.
The initial point of Mishima’s reasonings: the Way of the Samurai - is a death way. Thereupon Mishima contemptiously responds about modern men who, on his opinion, are weak and cowardly. Therefore they are unworthy neither for lives, nor for death. A loss of tradition and, as consequence – a feminization of men and their growing avidity are guilty in it. “The majority of young men which serve today, are afflicted with petty aspirations. They look around with mean sights of pickpockets”. Misihima is deeply convinced that in the modern world there is impossible neither to live beautifully, nor beautifully to die, as militant platitude everywhere has affirmed. He proclaimed an opposed to sexual revolution ideal of secret love: “The stated love inevitably loses its advantage. The original love reaches its highest ideal when a person carries away his secret into a tomb”. Only death is an effective medicine for suffering soul, though the modern civilization aspires to suppress a natural instinct for death in a person. But, even suppressed, it inevitably clears up and then death prevails, but already in rough and ugly forms, as together with tradition a person has lost also the culture of death. “We are not able to take a noble essence from death and to force it to work for us”. How to restore the lost tradition? We need a determination first of all. To achieve an objective is necessary even if you
