What is a person? An entity created by the Creator or, as is commonly believed, the heir of primates?
Did a man on Earth, like all living beings, originate, coming out of the water and, in the course of evolution, climbing onto the branches of trees, in order to then descend from them and walk on two legs with five fingers on each? Or is he a creation of the cosmos, inhabited on our planet in an already finished form?
Who are we? And why does it sometimes happen that one of us suddenly becomes a superhuman, unexpectedly for himself and those around him, starting to show supernatural abilities?
The average citizen
In 1953, in the capital of the then Soviet Belarus, the hero city of Minsk, an unremarkable citizen was born into an ordinary Belarusian working-class family of the Tsiperovichs.
Until the age of 26, he led the ordinary life of a Soviet young man.
After graduating from high school, he workedas an electrician at various enterprises of Minsk, which was actively recovering after the war, without lingering anywhere for a long time. The only thing that distinguished young Tsiperovich from the rest was his rather rare and old name - Yakov.
The year Annushka spilled her oil
Our life, despite the fact that it consists of a string of seemingly accidents that affect all its further events, actually depends on the very Annushka mentioned by the great Mikhail Bulgakov in his imperishable novel "Master and Margaret." Annushki, whose middle name is destiny.
The former life of our hero ended in 1979, as it should be the end of a person's life - his death.
One can endlessly argue about whether the further story of Yakov Tsiperovich was true or false. However, the fact remains that the young man died at the age of 26. In a fit of insane jealousy, Jacob was poisoned by his first wife.
Under what circumstances and what the guy was poisoned with - remained unknown, since no one filed a complaint with the police. Accordingly, there was no investigation. This begs the question: what happened then?
As Yakov Tsiperovich later said, probably the jealous wife added some strong poison to the wine he drank. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and lost consciousness. After that, the guy was really saved in one of the hospitals in Minsk, where he was taken in a state of clinical death. His heart was no longer beating, but his brain activity was stilldidn't stop. In order to have time to save a person in the event of clinical death, doctors are given no more than 7 minutes. Contrary to all established medical practice, Yakov stayed in this borderline state for more than an hour. Unexpectedly, the doctors recorded the restoration of the work of the heart. The patient himself continued to remain unconscious for about a week.
The New Me
Waking up, Yakov Tsiperovich literally did not recognize himself. It was not his body, not his hands, his legs also did not obey. My head hurt a lot. It felt like it was all erased. From the memories - only his state when he was in oblivion.
I found myself in an unimaginably huge spiral. I remember the feeling of absolute happiness. At some turns, I stopped, and a huge amount of information was literally uploaded into me. This knowledge was put directly into my consciousness without a voice. I was delighted and surprised. I felt like a spot of light that constantly changed color. There were entities around me that were also a light substance. Some have been there for tens of thousands of years. But time in that incarnation does not matter. There is a feeling of boundless freedom - you fly. Nobody says anything there, there are no words. Everything happens at the level of energy transmission…
Yakov lost the ability to speak for some time. Somewhat later, along with the gradual restoration of speech, he felt an unusual surge of physical strength and some unfamiliar energy. He, who had previously not been distinguished by heroic power, seemed to have ceased to feel the weight of objects, even the heaviest ones, he easily lifted or moved them. The young man stopped getting tired and could, by his own admission, wring out ten thousand times.
At the same time, Yakov Tsiperovich lost the ability that every person has, and which no one even pays attention to - he forgot how to sleep.
Prisoner of insomnia
Looking ahead, the dream never returned to Jacob's life.
Moreover, as soon as Tsiperovich just tried to lie down, take a horizontal position, as some unknown click was heard in the mind of the guy, forcing him to immediately get up, no matter how many times he repeated these attempts.
Yakov Tsiperovich, experiencing understandable anxiety and even panic, turned to doctors and psychics, even to the famous Juna Davitashvili. However, none of them could explain his deviation, much less help. Doctors stated the absence of any oddities in his state of he alth.
Even tranquilizers, which Yakov sometimes tried to take in huge quantities, did not help to restore sleep. Sleep seemed to be deleted from the program of his body.
A strange thing happened to me - I stopped feeling the flow of time. For me, it's like it doesn't exist. There is no division into day and night, everything is a single indivisible process. For me, life is like one huge day..
Forever young
Walkedweeks, months and years, Yakov Tsiperovich continued to stay awake at night. His life went on, but it became very strange and completely different than it was from his birth.
His body temperature dropped by three degrees below normal. This fact did not cause any discomfort or concern in Jacob. On the contrary, his general physical and mental state, despite all the unusualness and natural discomfort, was something akin to a kind of nirvana, since it became common for Tsiperovich to have a constant feeling of weightlessness, the absence of the heaviness of his own body. It seemed to him that it was worth pushing off the ground with his feet, and he would soar …
The longer Jacob was in a state of insomnia, the more mysterious forces filled his body and the he althier he looked. This euphoria ended with the fact that one day, when Tsiperovich was about 50 years old, he, having met his friends with whom he studied in the same class, noticed how much they had aged. Nothing special, the usual age-related changes after forty - bald patches, wrinkles, complexion and skin condition. However, Jacob himself, these transformations in an incomprehensible way passed. Regardless of whether the phenomenon of stopping aging is true or fiction, Yakov Tsiperovich outwardly remained practically unchanged in his physical body of about 35 years of age.
Superman's private life
17 years after his death, in 1996, Yakov married a girl Karina. The same simple Belarusian, like himself. Unlike the sleepless Tsiperovich, shehas only one superpower - to be a good wife. Karina understands and loves her husband for who he is. For her, the mysterious oddities of Jacob have long ceased to be something unusual.
A year after the wedding, the couple had a son, Alexander. The new reality of the superman has finally acquired some meaning, fullness, calmness and harmony.
After the birth of their son, the family moved to Germany and settled in the ancient city of Halle, where, among the ancient Gothic castles, churches and cathedrals, they lead an almost reclusive life.
Jakov's son goes to school, is proud of his father and dreams of becoming, like him, a superman.
Weekday nights
Yakov Tsiperovich is still awake. Its every single day is conditionally divided only into light and dark hours of the day. What is this amazing man doing while his family sleeps?
According to Jacob himself, nothing supernatural or unusual, as it might seem. He just lives. Night hours for him are no different from daytime. It's just the time when he's alone. A third of every long day of Tsiperovich.
Noisy activities such as reading, writing poems, which he was addicted to in his second life, and, of course, nighttime reflections and memories are the usual activities for him at this time.
At first I regarded what happened as a punishment for some deeds. But many years later, I realized that, probably, this is still a gift. After all, the suffering that the first time after what happenedtormented me so much, turned into completely unimaginable things and took me to a level where no one else has reached …
Today
Now Yakov Tsiperovich, together with his wife Karina and son Alexander, can be found both in their native city of Minsk and in German Halle. Superman is already 65 years old. But you can’t even give him forty in appearance (in the photo Yakov Tsiperovich now).
Currently Yakov is busy trying to beat his insomnia and learn how to sleep again. What he does, of course, cannot yet be called a real dream. With the help of yoga and special techniques, Tsiperovich immerses himself in a special meditative state, thanks to which he manages to forget, to dissipate for a couple of hours in some kind of dream. Just a few hours of semblance of sleep. But Yakov Tsiperovich is happy about this too.
Despite the phenomenal features that no one else has on this planet, for some reason it is very important for him and he needs to become an ordinary person who knows how to sleep…
No one needs a hero
The phenomenon of Tsiperovich was widely discussed in the media. Especially in the 1980s, when superpowers appeared in this person after clinical death.
Documentary films about Yakov Tsiperovich were filmed even by the Japanese and the French. But over time, interest in a sleepless and ageless person faded away.
Of course, by and large, our hero himself had a hand in this. The glory that fell on him turned out to be not so much unpleasant for him as completely alien.
At the same timeit is really strange that for such a long time of the existence of the phenomenon, it is not only that official science has not studied it, on the contrary, one gets the feeling that they deliberately tried to forget this riddle. Otherwise, how else can you explain the complete lack of any research?
But who and for what reason could need the phenomenon of a sleepless and ageless person to be forgotten?
From each photo of Yakov Tsiperovich, a tired, confused and as if lost person invariably looks at us. Yes, it is, in fact, because Jacob is really lost. In time and in myself…
