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...
