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...
