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...
