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...
