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...
