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...
