I knew the test was based off things to prove reincarnation ( and I knew of the story of the Dalai Lama) but I never made the connection to Tibeatean Buddhism and the Book of the Dead.

It is clear, though, at that The Book of Laws is somewhat of a religious/occultic compilation.

Did you read that guy's entire blog entry? He states specifically this book that this guy wrote.

I love it how the showrunners said a few seasons back how everything has a natural explanation.

Well, in theory teleportation and time travel is possible, just not with todays technology.

Also, we don't really know half of what is actually going on in Lost, I expect some answers in the season finale, and then we got another 2 or 3 was it? seasons to go.

Call it a hunch, but I think Locke and Ben could be related somehow. Possibly half-brothers with different mothers but the same father. The father being the island.

The similarities between Locke and Ben seem important; both were born premature, both were prodded and assisted by Richard to murder their supposed fathers.

Unmistakable parallels between John and Ben have been drawn:

* Both born to a mother named Emily
* Both born prematurely
* Both have a visitor from the Island almost immediately (Horace for Ben, Alpert for John)
* Both are monitored by Richard Alpert from an early age
* Both can see and know things that they shouldn't from early childhood
* Both are raised by people who are largely indifferent to them
* Both are social outcasts
* Both kill their fathers
* Both suffer, and subsequently recover from, serious spinal injury/disease
* Both are aware of and can interact with Jacob

John did everything in his power to NOT be the one to kill his father, and did not want to kill his father.

Ben did it personally and happily.

Yes the Book of the Dead and then the Timothy Leary one based off it.

Its a good show, but if you havent watched it before I suggest getting it some other way so that if you dont like it you havent wasted a hundred buckaroos.
