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...
