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...
