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...
