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...
