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...
