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...
