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...
