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...
