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...
