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...
