LOST TV And LIMBUS INFANTIUM

 A LOST TV Program Theory I posted five years ago seems to be somewhat correct.  My thought at the time was that LOST was about the Parent/Child conflict and the Roman Concept of LIMBUS INFANTIUM (Note the relationship between Jack and his father). The final episode concluded with the understanding that these things can be overcome, and a place awaits before we enter eternity were reconciliation, understanding and finally peace exist. 

What was masterful about the writers of LOST was how they blended various philosophy and theology and New Age thought without offending or turning off their audience.  There are basic archetypes that people will universally connect with. There is a universal consciousness and they stayed within that realm. I will really miss this show. It was absolutely superb. 

This is what I wrote on a blog post in 2006:

Now what I believe will happen is you will find out Will is a "ghost in the machine" keep in mind this is all allegory. This will become a very spiritual TV program as they begin to blend it with the scientific. That is why in season one they had to show two camps forming-one believing in science (Jack) one believing in faith (Locke). The writers are aware of the success of The Passion Of Christ and I think that's where they are taking us.

LOST has become a phenomena with various theories being developed to explain the strange things happening on the Island. One of the early theories was of Purgatory. But for many people that came up short. That's because they missed the correct concept of it. According to Goggle. I am the only one who is putting forth the LIMBUS INFANTIUM THEORY. That is the only thing that can explain the kidnapping of the children and the Parent/Child conflicts.

One of the coolest sites on the net PALEORAMA  (All things doing with mankind and science and religion) has the best definition of Limo I have ever read

"In Roman Catholic theology, limbo describes the temporary status of the souls of good persons who died before the resurrection of Jesus, and the permanent status of the unbaptized who die in childhood (without having committed any personal sins, but without having been freed from original sin).

Limbo comes from the Latin limbus meaning a hem or an edge or a boundary. While "limbo" is often popularly understood to be a "place where souls go", the term also describes and reflects theological uncertainty. As such, limbo is not part of the Church's official doctrine (compare purgatory, which is). Official Church teaching remains that the status of these souls (who don't seem to deserve hell, yet cannot follow the divinely-revealed path to heaven) is in limbo – in other words, their fate cannot be determined by any but God."

Notice all the children in LOST have been taken. Why include this in the show if it had no meaning. This is very important.  What happens to unbaptized children when they die? In  the Catholic theology of Purgatory children are taken from their parent's to a place called LIMBUS INFANTIUM. Please Google this. Children are seen to have been born in Original Sin and denied the regeneration of Christ Sacrifice. This matter has been debated for centuries and it is believed that children enjoy eternal happiness with God. It is unclear as to weather they ever see their parents again. This is important for this tv show.

I would recommend the Catholic Encyclopedia web site for their specific definition.

These are some points that they recommend you Google 

1 The Limbo of the Fathers (limbus patrum) (also known as Abraham's Bosom)

2 The Limbo of Children (limbus infantium)

3 Limbo as a state of eternal, natural joy

4 Limbo in literature

"LOST" begining to look like "THE INVADERS"

"The Invaders - Alien beings from a dying planet
Their destination - The Earth
Their purpose - To make it their world"

That was the opening narrative to a '60S TV show starring Roy Thinnes called THE INVADERS.

Architect David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) is overtired after a long drive and after taking toward a shortcut down a dark and isolated road, ends up at Bud's Cafe. He hears a loud noise and then sees a spacecraft landing. He learns that the occupants are aliens from a dying planet who plan to take over Earth by impersonating humans.

When he tries to convince authorities of what he has seen, they dismiss him as a nut job. But David Vincent knows that he must stop them to save the Earth.

The show only lasted a year and was one of my favorites. One of the only ones my parents for some reason would let me watch. I think they would of let me watch LOST. And thats my point.

I have previous post about complicated theories to explain the plot that delve into metaphysics and religion. I don't now think all of that is necessary.

The most important thing they have presented, however, is extremely important. The Boston Red Sox's won the World Series. That would be considered impossible for Jack to believe and the Alien leader cannot understand his disbelief. That is because they (the others) are not from this world and have no understanding of sports or politics. Did you hear how he said "Your America elected George Bush." He is not one of us.

Green Iguanna And A Pregnancy Test

Lynette Porter who wrote this book was at the Green Iguana In St Pete last Wednesday night. When the show concluded she was interviewed on ABC Channel 28 news. One of the things she said was impossible. Leading me to conclude that she is involved in the plot generator and misinformation campaign put out by the studio.

She mentioned the pregnancy test that Sun took and how it was made by Widmere Industries, the same industrialist that had a billboard in London on a prior episode about Charles. Instantainous recall Lynnette?

I TVO'd the episode and have looked at the box that the pregnancy test came in and Widmere industries appears nowhere on the box...even under magnification. I think you may have slipped up.

You have been given alot of interviews on radio and TV all over the country and its hard to keep the time line straight. The only way you could have been privy to this info would be if you where part of the "Others." The conclusion is inescapable.

The Boston Red Sox And The TV Show Lost: That Unlocks The Mystery

To those who have read my blog you know that I have put forth a metaphysical/spiritual argument in favor of strict Catholic belief in LImbus Infantiam to explain the mystery of the show. Recent developments on the show have forced me to modify these beliefs.

I went to Borders bookstore yesterday and spent about an hour reading LOST:Unlocking the Mysteries: I was, in a word, disappointed. The author who is a Humanities professor does an excellent job of providing minute information about the story line and the characters, as well as, the significance of the themes tied into the advance of Western Civilization, religion and culture. He only briefly covers the prevailing theories (given only a page and a half). He never once offers his own theory. He does point the reader in some very important directions.  2 things he brought out have led me to a new understanding. If I am even close I should at least go back and buy his book.

For instance, there was a scene last year when after Sawyer was mislead into killing the wrong man, he goes into a bar and coincidental drinks with Jacks defrocked doctor father. They talk about many heavy subjects and Christan (Jacks Father) said he believed some people on earth were meant to suffer(This is a Calvinist world view. John Calvin believed that people were meant to suffer...He believed most people should suffer. I would walk through the hood at night before I walked through Calvin's Geneva with crime free streets, only a Totalitarian Despot). That is why, he said, "The Boston Red-socks will never win the world series." That could not of been a mistake. The episode was broadcast several months after the Sox had indeed won a World Series. No coincidence. Just like when Michal was in the Lawyers office in New York in the custody hearing for Walt and out the window you could see the twin towers. The time line of the show will not allow that. If you do the math this all makes sense now. The castaways are not living in the current time or universe. Arithmetic leads us to the year 2009! That is why the actor who played Jacks father at a convention said the solution to all of this was super-string theory.

One of the ways the writers have jerked with us is by stirring us into trying to use Newtonian concept to understand something that will transcend Newtonian-ism.

This is what you have here. Oceanic flight 815 crashed in the year 2009. The "others" may be from our time. They probably are not.

I keep coming back to the abduction of Rousseau's child and the other children. Do you see it now. Either interplanetary or dimensional travel. The "Others" are performing what we call Alian abductions. Remember when Walt said "They ain't who they pretend to be." You can count on it. How did the African Lady know the names of the 4 to bring?

Ultimately, the writers of this show can close it out anyway they want. I still think my now 2 theories will still hold water when it is all over with.

LOST will be on in 3 hours and 48 minutes...Cool.

Do We Go To Heaven?....LOST TV Series Provides Answers!

With LOST about one hour away I can only still stand by my belief in the spiritual being the ultimate conclusion instead of the physical scientific terrain. I came up with this concept by what I learned in theology classes at a time in my life long ago when I was considering Catholic Seminary (Since I'm not gay that celibacy thing got in the way)

Now what I believe will happen is you will find out Will is a "ghost in the machine" keep in mind this is all allegory. This will become a very spiritual TV program as they begin to blend it with the scientific. That is why in season one they had to show two camps forming-one believing in science (Jack) one believing in faith (Locke).

Lost Therories, Purgatory And "The Passion Of Christ"

This is a reprint from an Email I sent a LOST TV SHOW THEORIST. In it I further explore many of the religious and spiritual angles I believe are in the show.

Thanks for the email. You where correct. When I started this blog it was at first among friends. I did not know that over 1,000 people a week would Google search my site looking  for info on LOST.

I have made all the changes with proper links to the web site you provided and quotes.

I have to differ on the originality. The purgatory theory is one that has not yet been discredited. I believe my introduction of LIMBUS INFANTIUM was not only viable, but unique. It took this angle to a higher level and actually buttressed the argument. We still don't know if Walt is a "ghost in the machine."

Everything here is beginning to look like allegory. Notice last week in the opening sequence, the first thing the Rebels did was demand the children. That is integral to the story now. Mr. Eko makes reference to Moses and Arron. If fact, it is suggested that Eko is Moses and his brother is Arron.

The writers have introduced the spiritual now the religious. Eko going 40 days without speaking. sinning, yet becoming a priest. That is important, LIMBUS INFANTIUM is found only in catholic teachings.

The Parent/Child conflicts seem uniform among all castaways.

If you are looking for a more scientific angle I would explore HAARP. It is a science research facility in Alaska which was funded by Ronald Reagan for the STAR WARS project. It is believed it's function was to alter the ELECTROMAGNETIC POLES to deflect incoming Soviet Missiles. There are some who now believe HAARP is behind the increase in violent Hurricanes.

Physicist NIck Beqich and his scientist wife Jeane Manning state in their book Angels Don't Play this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology,......."HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater". (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between about 40- to 600 miles above Earth's surface.)"

The web site VANDALISM IN THE SKY states that....."Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antennas send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.

HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other U.S. military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes". Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.

Press releases and other information from the military on HAARP continually downplay what it could do. Publicity documents insist that the HAARP project is no different than other ionospheric heaters operating safely throughout the world in places such as Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Tromso, Norway and the former Soviet Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that the radio-frequency (RF) power zap will drive the ionosphere to unnatural activities."

Scarry stuff is'nt it?  Do you want to know what is really going on. Did HAARP force Roussou's ship off course by playing HURLEY'S lotto numbers over and over again? Did HAARP cause Oceanic Flight #815 to deviate 2,000 miles off course? Did HAARP Cause Jacks compass to point to another True north? NO!

My father was a retired commander in the United States Navy. He told me that HAARP  was for increased communication capability With submarines. It also has implication with world wide digital com for computer guided missiles. It's lock on GPS is like a pitiful.

What is really going on for the "ULTIMATE THEORY"People of LOST is they have bought into what is called "AD-HOCK SCIENCE." I am not a scientist, I am a student of philosophy. There is a term called epistemology - which is the study of knowledge. Modern man has esentially codified knowledge as scientific method (His arrongance will not allow any other way of establishing truth. This mindset is less prevalant in Eastern cultures,however). With scientific method you have a theory followed by research finally arriving At at conclusion. What Ad-Hock science does is put the conclusion up front and will only consider evidence that supports their theory. That is what is at the heart of all conspiracy theories!

What the creators of LOST have done is brilliant. They have led people down the path of false science. Even telegraphed it with the Dharama corporation.

Please email me when they take you to a conclusion as emotional as The Passion Of Christ

Taxi Driver Looks At TV Show "LOST" HERMAN MELVILE, KANT AND THE "ULTIMATE THERORY."

Lost is on tonight. I'll make this summation of LOST THEORIES as brief as possible.

The prevailing thought amoung LOST therories is what is called the ultimate therory. it has to do with Hans Oersted (the satelite on the show is named after him who discovered electromagnetism in 1820.

What is pointed out in the excellent web site 4815162342 Is that in:

"1999 the 'Oersted' satellite was launched with the purpose of charting Earth's magnetic field. The findings led scientists to believe that there might be a polar reversal imminent, the effects of which could be cataclysmic: if Earth were to lose its magnetosphere, it would be vulnerable to massive radiation from the space/sun. The satellite also revealed an anomaly in the magnetic field under South Africa; it is pointing the opposite direction from the rest of the Earth's field and has been growing for hundreds of years. Please Google this info. A similar idea was also used in the film 'The Core'. "

Meet John Locke:    One of the main characters in the show is named after the father of deductive reason. This is an important point and not an accident. You can Google John Locke and find out his total belief in pure reason. Locke's concept of "Tabla Rasa" is important. The 2nd episode season #1 is named that. He believed man was not born with enate knowledge, not even Royalty( A novel concept for his time). Man was born with a "clean slate." Much like Locke starts on the island with a clean start.

The Character on this show(played by the imminent American actor Terry O'quinn) has all of his life put stock in reason and logic. It has got him nowhere. On this Island everything has come alive. His hopes, His dreams, His ability to walk.

What appeared on the surface to be an item of science - The Hatch - has now become an article of faith. To believe without evidence now becomes the prime mover in his life.

The writers of this show have gone a long way in a misinformation campaign by planting the red herring of the "electromagnetism" as if that was the simple solution to this unbelievable problem the castaways face.

The Ultimate Therory Web site introduces Hannes Alfvén:

"He was a computer expert who wrote prolifically about computers taking over the world and man being at their disposal. Again Google Hannes Alfven. "

There are those that believe he can be seen briefly in the DHARMA FILM! This is brilliant!

The attempt by the writers is to throw everyone off! The ultimate therory is Newtonian in princiapal. THe real answer is probubly more Quantium or Occidential in nature. The actuall name DHARMA is from the Dharma Gia (now google that) it is about Buddisim and ecology. Read Joseph Campbell's book on Occidential(Eastern religion) Philosophy. You will began to see that the metaphysical in lost will prevail over the science.

Example, There is this thing called the Orientation film There is a character named Desmond who believes he has to enter the code (numebers that where used to win a multi-state lottery). So he presses those  buttons every 108 minutes. The wtiters are commited to the theory of electromagnatism having caused an upheval in the earths polar axes perhaps even causing totol desruption if not destruction of all of earth. That is why Oceanic flight 815 (another greatg web site!)  got 2,000 miles off course. Now only the Oersted satellite which orbits the Earth every 108 minutes is the only thing that can save the lost characters. You can see the doubt even the scientist has as he stresses not to use the computer for anything else. You can almost see him griping as he stresses that point. Looks like the sientist cannot quantify the human element.

The absolute main part of what is going on in the show is the PARANT/CHILD CONFLICTS AND THE KIDNAPPING OF THE CHILDREN. Not the science stuff. The ULTIMATE THERORY believes the parant/child confilcts are significant but in a different way then I believe

Theologically it is a metaphor for sin/sanctification. My thought on this is it can be seen as the Christ Child separation from the holy father in the garden. It has to be important to the final outcome. OR WHY WOULD IT BE A CENTRAL THEME IN THE SHOW.

Notice all the children in the show have been taken. Why include this in the show if it had no meaning. This is very important.  What the Jesuits taught me was that in  the Catholic theology of Purgatory children are taken from their parent's to a place called LIMBUS INFANTIUM. Please Google this. I hate to span this stuff so quickly but children are seen to have been born in Original Sin and denyed the regeneration of Christ Sacrifice. This matter has been debated for centuries and it is believed that children enjoy eternal happiness with God.

Now to Kant and Melville. Both of these great philosophers had a monumental problem with God. More so Melville. He believed that "free agency" was to much of a burden and man would always make imperfect decisions(note that all cast members before getting on the plane where faced with profound moral and ethical decisions. including the latest is it right to kill because someone else killed? - think Chick with pistol). Especially as he tried to come to an understanding of his world and what was happening. Not going to happen. You could catch the whale but what do you do with it. All men filter their life Thru their own experiences and will always arrive at a different point. If   Moby represented absolute knowledge it was of course unobtainable.

Kant in his Critique of Pure Reason believed that using science to understand the metaphysical was an illegitimate use of reason (THINK DHARMA CORPORATION). For man was always locked into quantitative and qualitative concepts. These are tools derived from experience and cannot be used to understand something that transcends experience. Dharma like man could never anticipate all contingencies. I mean why was it we could put man on the moon 37 years ago and we can't even get off the ground now?

The conclusion of both these men was that man could know God by certain regulating factors such as ethics and morals and a sense of right and wrong. Man ultimately in his imperfection had only one hope and that was to surrender with blind credulity to the omnipotence of God.

Such are blogs. Be brief. That did cover some heavy stuff.

If the writers of this show are going anywhere close to these subjects then it has to be the greatest show ever on TV.
