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...
