The mysterious black smoke in "Lost" may also be a phenomenon of marriage and flight, to be more specific, it may be a phenomenon of "concretization of consciousness (soul)". Because the drama itself has always had the theme of "new birth", and "fertility" is also one of the important plot driving elements.
The reasons for guessing include:
1. The consciousness of the island that has been talking about. One possibility is that the black smoke may be a concrete manifestation of the island’s consciousness, or at least part of the island’s consciousness, so the black smoke will defend, attack, and tamper with the consciousness of human beings (seeing visual and auditory hallucinations such as polar bears) ) To enhance or block human neurotransmission signals (this can explain Locke’s miracle of walking with a broken leg and disease-free island; Ben may have a tumor originally, because some of the tumor is blocked by black smoke The nerve signal is temporarily suppressed), and even changes some natural phenomena, such as changing the magnetic field and causing a plane crash.
2. Babies who are pregnant on the island will die after a period of time, but in reality there is often such a debate: when human consciousness was first formed in the growth of the fetus? In ancient Egyptian mythology, people treated the soul and the body separately. The soul was called Ba (Ba) and the body was called Ka (Ka). They believed that the two parts would reintegrate after three thousand years of separation. The reason why the ancient Egyptians made so many mummies. We assume that this island is actually a resource pool of human consciousness on earth, or a soul pool, maybe we can call it Avalon Island—the home of the soul of a dead soul in mythology. Our physical body and consciousness may be a combination of two different things. Although they will converge, that is, when we are alive, the consciousness will leave the body before or after our death-the soul is immortal. The body is just a stinky skin. When our physical body dies, consciousness will return to this island and wait for another cycle of evolution. This is why people often see their deceased relatives on this island. The reason may be more than just an illusion; another simplest hypothesis is that this island is likely to be a breeding ground-many creatures have the habit of returning to a fixed place to reproduce, such as migratory, consciousness It may be the same-the tomb is the cradle, which is not unreasonable. Perhaps the conscious elements will reorganize on this island to form a new consciousness and more consciousness. But obviously for some reason, this mechanism was destroyed, so the island had to choose external force to intervene to repair this mechanism-the relationship between consciousness and the body may not be a simple parasitic or symbiotic relationship, but may be more complicated.
3. Just like AC Clark’s metaphor for memory in "The End of Childhood", memories are like islands on the sea. On the surface, they are irrelevant, but in fact, their foundations on the seabed are connected together. , This sea can be regarded as time. When this sea dries up one day, all the memories will be closely connected, the past, the present, and the future. Consciousness may be like this, it can travel through time, and even change time itself. Descartes’ "I think before I am" (I think before I am) can be understood from another perspective-our body exists in space, then our body may be the reason for the existence of space, and consciousness may be the maintenance of time The key to existence, and a person may be a factor that maintains the existence of time and space-this can also be regarded as a supplement to what I said above "The relationship between consciousness and the body may not be a simple parasitic or symbiotic relationship, but may be more complicated." Such factors may appear in pairs, which is the so-called "constant" concept. They exist for each other and will not be eliminated by the other party, but other factors may be sufficient, so Ben can't kill Widmore, but he does not kill Widmore. Fear of being chased by the gang on the ship.
4. Why are babies born on the island so important? The baby born on the island may be the key to ending all chaos-the purpose of the island. What we currently know is that Claire’s baby Aaron has been born, and there is also Sun’s baby. They are most likely a pair of constants-and the six survivors of Oceanic 815 (generally speaking are jack, kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, these five are certain, Aaron may not be the sixth person-and s4.12 shows that Aaron is the sixth person) Isn’t it more or less revolving around these two children, maybe these two A child has a great relationship with Jacbo, or one of these two children has a constant relationship with Jacbo. The appearance of one party makes the other party slowly show itself-in this case, has anyone noticed, Jackbo Isn't it when Aaron was born again before Aaron was born? (From Ben's narrative that Jackbo also existed in the past, is there more than one constant that prompted Jackbo to appear?)
Generally speaking, I think of the above. Without further sorting, it may still look messy.
PS. The fun of watching LOST is that you can over-interpret it wantonly
