I wonder if the helicopter pilot guy is Ben's spy on the boat?

The freighter guys seem like real nimrods. Real redshirts to the core.

It would appear that you can only transfer your consciousness to yourself in a different time, although it would be very interesting if Dharma or someone was working on transferring your consciousness into a different body. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone as powerful as Widmore would try to gain immortality in this way. Perhaps many things are possible on the island or using the funky purple ray beyond just time teleportation and healing. But if healing doesn't work for you, and you're an old rich goomer, plopping your consciousness into someone else's poor body is the way to go. I could see Paik and Widmore battling it out to get access to such a possibility.

And why didn't Faraday shield his head from the purple ray? If the point is to transfer your consciousness, or id, or Chakras, then why only shield the rest of your body like at the dentist's office? Is Faraday's consciousness carried in his ass or reproductive organs? Another possible tie in with reproductive problems on the island.

Speaking of Chakras....

A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. There are six of these wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to the middle of the forehead. And the seventh which is beyond the physical region. It is the six major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness...

Chakra are commonly described, as above, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy of the human body.

The following primary chakras are commonly described:

1. Muladhara (Sanskrit: Mūlādhāra) lower body
2. Swadhisthana (Sanskrit: Svādhiṣṭhāna) reproductive parts
3. Manipura (Sanskrit: Maṇipūra) navel
4. Anahata (Sanskrit: Anāhata) heart
5. Vishuddha (Sanskrit: Viśuddha) throat
6. Ajna (Sanskrit: Ājñā) eyebrow or forehead
7. Sahasrara (Sanskrit: Sahasrāra) top of head

Chakras in the head from lowest to highest are: talu/talana/lalana, ajna, manas, soma, brahmarandra, sri (inside sahasrara,) sahasrara.

The concept of Chakra are often treated in different ways, depending on the cultural context. In Chinese medicine, traditional chakra locations correspond to acupuncture points. In some Eastern thought, chakras are considered to be gradations of consciousness and reflect states of the soul--these systems rely less on proof than on experience (under the assumption that 'proving' the existence of chakras is asking to 'prove' the existence of the thought process). A mystic may deal with chakra as a model for their internal and external experience, and when talking about 'energy centers', may be talking about subtle forces which connect to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.



Chakras and the endocrine system

The primary importance and level of existence of chakras is posited to be in the psyche. However, there are those who believe that chakras have a physical manifestation as well. Some authors say that there is a relationship between the positions and functions of the chakras, and of the various organs of the endocrine system. It is noted by many that there is a marked similarity between the positions and roles described for chakras, and the positions and roles of the glands in the endocrine system, and also by the positions of the nerve ganglia (also known as "plexuses") along the spinal cord (branching to plexuses by endocrine glands or organs), opening the possibility that two vastly different systems of conceptualization have been brought to bear to systemize insights about the same phenomenon. By some, chakras are thought of as having their physical manifestation in the body as these glands, and their subjective manifestation as the associated emotional, mental and spiritual experiences.




Sooooo, are there six or seven hatches total? Do these somehow relate to the different Chakras? Will Shirley MacLaine appear on a future episode of LOST?
