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...
