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...
