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...
