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...
