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...
