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...
