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...
