operation  contrasting valkyrie   
     in  the sixties.  the central    
  intelligence agency  "cia" release  
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
   jupiter equinox concert, creating  
  the largest secret paradigm shift   
  that  the world has  ever seen.   
  
                                          
 the jupiter equinox* concert is part  of 
 a festival  in  black tickle arranged by 
 a group called  epicenter of love. there 
 is   no   entrance  but   visitors   are 
 expected  to help with maintenance. food 
 and  drink  is  shared. many  bands  are 
 playing over the four day  course of the 
 festival, and the stage is open  between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while an  unknown act, has a prestigious 
 timeslot at eight in  the evening on the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight is also  when  the  plane used  to 
 spread   the   aerosol  lifts  off.   it 
 arrives at the festival about a  quarter 
 past,  sound  masked  by   the  concert. 
 around   when   the   first   wave    of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the song comes to a  tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks   to  the  front  of  the   stage. 
                                          
 she  says, with  a crystalline voice: "i 
 have something to tell you.  i  am not a 
 human  being. i am not an  animal  or  a 
 plant.  i  have  been sent to  deliver a 
 message  to you. a  message of hope. you 
 are not  alone. there are  other  beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and it's time to  take that  hand. 
 to  reach out  toward that hand and grab 
 it it. it is time to come home. you  are 
 going  home.   you   are  going   home." 
                                          
 the  singer  stands  there   for  a  few 
 moments,  her  hand  raised in  the air, 
 before  the rest  of the band  kicks  in 
 and the  music builds  to  a  crescendo. 
 the  crowd  erupts.  and then  something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes   it:   "suddenly,  the  music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow see  it, and  i feel the  others 
 seeing it,  and  i see  it through their 
 eyes  as  well. meanwhile  i'm  dancing, 
 and i can  feel my  body as  i've  never 
 done before, i am  aware  of  each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.  and  it's  all  going   faster, 
 building  up  to something, waking  up." 
                                          
 people  start  forming  circles, holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are laughing. some  are  screaming. 
                                          
 and then  - a  flutter  -  and something 
 gives.   a    shockwave   of   reversing 
 polarity   in   the   ether,   and  like 
 butterflies  getting hit by a  burst  of 
 wind, the third eye  opens  for everyone 
 in the audience. and it becomes a  chain 
 reaction, quickly spreading  across  the 
 festival area.  within seconds  there is 
 a   global   blackout.  festival   goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after  a  few   days,   in 
 montreal  for the evening, the  rest  of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,   the   population  of  earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only   that   most  do   not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
    seems  there   was  never  any    
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer  (also colloquially   
  referred to as jupiter) seemed  to  
  immediately  disappear (for a long  
  while she was thought to have been  
  a cia  agent, but  a  later  foia   
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently,  however, some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
  england who  has a very  striking   
   similarity...
