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...
