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...
