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...
