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...
