highbrow, that was a pretty cool part. kinda makes more sense then the whole thing just being a hoax or mind experiment

username, I read that theory and the part I liked was that the Pearl is sending those notebooks into the future (at least I think that’s what it said…). That could explain why there were a bunch that weren’t picked up. Some were sent before the DI knew they were going to die but were sent to a time after the purge…

dabs, perhaps ben has that foresight because he understands the inner workings of the Dharma stations/technology and the time or space they occupy. I’m starting to buy into the whole idea that some stations may have been created for the purpose of passing messages back and forth between past/present/future, and the cabin itself that jacob occupies is probably the future cabin, and periodically phases into the present to provide messages to those that can see it.

I believe that jacob is real and he is working or was working for Dharma. he probably took the mission to allow himself to phase in and out of time periods.

The very nature of ‘the island’ and some of the happenings, are of a ‘shamanistic’ nature! I see this as having impacted on a couple of characters.

I have my doubts about individual alternate realities. I doubt Lost will play out this way.

I think as far as the story arc is concerned, we are likely speaking about one alternative outcome. That alternative outcome, may be very different from what people are presently thinking, though.

The one aspect I am fairly certain about is Ben’s innate ability to act as a visionary. He is the only character who has shown he has insight into all past, present, and future happenings.

Something, John Locke has not displayed (yet!), nor Desmond.

However, Locke and Desmond’s abilities, combined may be what is needed to rival Ben’s abilities.

I like that.

And Libby is a mental patient in the periphery Hurley’s reality but a rich widow in Desmond’s reality…

Yeah.

What got me started on this is all the seperate links between the characters that defy any kind of coincidental logic.

How about Richard Alpert? He shows up to Ben in forest when Ben sees his mum, and tells him he’s gotta be patient to become one of them, looking like a scruff – basically looking how the others did when they played dress up with their beards etc. And at the same time zone, Richard walked into the barrack areas in a nice crisp blue shirt and trousers, well shaven? Unless he smartened himself up on purpose for his approach to the dharma initiative(?)… unlikely. Or maybe it’s alternate versions of himself?

a.e.s, this is something for you to bite into… the concept of dharma stations on the island being in different realities or time periods…

Just to reassure you and answer Benny TN’s question in another post, No I have never taken LSD or any other form of mind-altering drug.

Then again I’ve just robbed you of a possible explanation for my often disjointed interventions.
