Since there are numerous theories on what's going on on that island in general, this article provides a recap of some of these theories. If you post here, please keep the format (Description, Pros, Cons) and try to stick to general theories (Theories about single persons, items, locations have their place in the according articles). If you don't, nobody will be able to read this article soon...
- The survivors are in Purgatory or somehow "between places"
- The whole island is an ongoing social experiment
- It is a Virtual Reality/(guided) Dreamstate or shared Hallucination
- They are in an artificial environment
- The Survivors are the last remnants of humanity
- Scientific Experiment that accidentally opened a Mystical Pandora's Box
- The Tempest Theory
- The Christmas Theory
The Rapture Theory
The "losties" are those who are in the "tribulation period" of the rapture.
"As soon as the rapture occurs (according to this doctrine), many others will believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible and will be saved, even though they missed the "rapture" and will now have to go through that tribulation period with everyone else on the Earth." -wikipedia
Pre Tribulation Period
God's 40 day Warning: (First 40 days on the Island aka Season 1)
""For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first." (I Thes. 4:16)"-wiki
Notice the numbers 4:16
"This is an event that will mimic an event that took place at the time of Jesus' resurrection and is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 27, Verses 52& 53: "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which were dead arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."
"Known dead people will be brought back to life in a 'spiritual' body and appear to living people in Jerusalem. That is the Gospel account of what happened after Jesus' death, and it is what Paul is emphatically explaining to watch for when the end is near." - wiki
Pros
- Explains the hallucinations.
- Partially explains the number.
- Fits in with speculation about Aaron possibly being the Antichrist.
Cons
Addendum
Jack Shepard: Shepard is one who leads a herd. The herd being those caught up in the tribulation
Kate Austen: Austen is derivation on Augustine who wrote: City of God.
Michael: name denotes leader of God's angel army.
Walter: name denotes, ruler of army. Son of Michael on the show.
Aaraon: Claire's baby. Name denotes "Exalted One".
Zeke: Derivation of Ezekiel. The Book of Ezekiel describes his vivid symbolic visions which predict the restoration of the kingdom of Israel.
Lost: likely a reference to paradise lost, a poem about the fall of man.
John Locke and Rousseau: Names of Social Contract Theorist. Social Contract theories attempt to ground human nature without appealing to a higher power. Morality and redemption are major themes of the show. The show is possibly conveying a dialectic between Faith and Reason in the pursuit of understanding human nature.
The crew of flight 815 were travelling from Australia to Los Angeles. Australia is often known as the "land down under". Land down under can refer to earth (under heaven) or hell (under earth). Los Angeles means City of Angel. Thus the initial statement is a metaphor for the crew travelling from earth to the city of angel (heaven). Seeing that they never arrived at the city of angels, the island must be a metaphoric location between earth and heaven. Hence it is a place where the tribulation after the raptur occurs.
The Others:
It is my belief that "the Others" refer to two phenomenon. The first being a group of people on the island before the losties (aka others). The second being the phenomenon of "vanishing" during the tribulation and attributed to the others.
During the tribulation period, people often "vanish" and go to heaven if they are without sin and have open their hearts to Jesus. Therefore the dissappearances of some surivors is due to a rapturic vanishing, and not the others.
Let's consider the consider the psychological effect of your love ones vanishing during the rapture. Most of us would look for a reasonable explanation, such as, they were taken by someone. This conclusion would be considered more lucid, than an explanation that they were taken to heaven. Thus during the rapture, rampant paranoia would exists regarding heavenly actions.
They are in “Dreamtime”
Description
According to Australian aborigines Dreamtime* is the all-at-once time because they experience it as the past, present, and future co-existing.
Details
The Dharma initiative was to reach this condition through a series of experiments using the anomaly electromagnetic fields that has the island, but went wrong (the incident) when they opened the dimensional link between our reality and the Beralku*, the underworld, or the island of the dead.. The Hanso foundation tried to avoid the expansion of this dimensional door and energies using security parameters. .
The australian aboriginal people believe that each and every person has a part to them that exists eternally. This part continues to exist before the life begins and continues after the life of the individual ends. Both (before and after) it is believed that this spirit-child exists in the timeless place known as dreamtime and only is initiated by being born trhough a mother*. This confirms that the survivors are dead, and that’s why they remember their past, and learn from mistakes etc. and the others (that arrived before) are spiritual guides to this underworld and they take only who are prepared to take the journey back to life. Those who “die” are ready to take the journey back to life.
How many are coming back? 81 Why 81? http://www.oceanic-air.com/ check below the travelers: is weird that there are 42 infants in seat, 23 infants in lap, 16 young and only 4 adults. This 81 are selected to come back to life.
The monster or black cloud is one of the dimensional beings that live around the island. It could be related to Mamaragan* a lighting god of australian mithology that “ speaks with thunder as his voice. He rides a storm cloud and throws lighting bolts to humans and trees.”
- Entries from Wikipedia, the free enciclopedia
Pros
- This can explain “certain” flashbacks, mystical dreams and visions.
- The incident (dimensional linking avoiding) explains the numbers to be typed and the security.
- The monster is a dimensional creature
- The fragment of existing eternally after life confirms that they are dead
- Part of the storyline of "The Third Policeman," a book shown in the Hatch, involves the characters spending time in "eternity," where time doesn't matter. The narrator says that in this place, one could try to go somewhere else would always end up in the same place. In "Live Together, Die Alone," Desmond says that he sailed west for 2 1/2 weeks and should have hit land in less than a week, but eventually ended up right where he started.
Cons
- Relation with the Rosa Mental Institute is not clear.
They signed up for it
Details
The Lost Experience shows some initiatives that the Hanso foundation is involved in. Some of which may be of interest to various of the Castaways. They may have signed up to be there, perhaps inadvertantly. The island may be the labratory. The Others are the workers in the background who make it all happen.
Pros
- Libby and Hurly seemingly have their mental health issues fixed
- Locke can walk, Rose is free of Cancer, Jin is fertile
- Others may simply be sorting the people out and placing them on parts of the island that suit them best.
Cons
- Didn't seem to help Rousseau
- The Others seem to be up to something more sinister.
The survivors are clones
Pros
- Libby and Hurley seemingly have their mental health issues fixed
- Locke can walk, Rose is free of Cancer, Jin is fertile
- This can explain “certain” flashbacks, mystical dreams and visions.
- Nobody remembers the plane actually crashing - everyone just "woke up" on the island.
- Would explain 'See you in the next life'
- Would explain 'Good' people and 'Bad' people
- Would explain the bad twin
- Would explain 'dead' people
Cons
- Claire is still pregnant
The Y2K Theory
A scientific experiment was set in place in the late 70's after certain phenomena were discovered on the island. The Hanso Foundation built a series of hatches across the island to study these phenomena and keep them in check. However, when the year 2000 arrived, the computers on the island were affected having catastrophic (though not necessarily terminal) results. Remarkably, the island is still salvagable so long as proper maintainance is kept (i.e. pushing the button).
Pros
- Takes place after year 2000
- Computers are featured (presumably) in all of the hatches
- No techinicians available to resolve year 2000 issues
Cons
- Does not explain Danielle's presence on the island for 16 years.
- Does not explain the Others.
