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...
