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...
