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...
