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...
