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...
