? = NOT a question mark

Pali · 04-15-2006, 04:23 PM

We all know Episode 2x21 is called ?
Obviously it will refer too the ? that was in the middle of the map Locke saw. But its not a question mark as we know it, because the person who draw the map knew damn well what was there. Just see how much information he draw about the island including all the phrases and positions of stuff. The ? in the middle litterly stands for Dharma. In East Asia, the character for Dharma is ?, pronounced fǎ in Mandarin and hō in Japanese. Dharma means Natural Law or Reality. 108 is the natural number. Remember the mural painting in the hatch with 108 inside the sun ? The sun’s diameter approximately equals 108 times the earth’s diameter. The EYE of god = 108 and so not even god will SEE the island.

Anyways ... Dharma = a way of life. It defies dogma and thus seeks to instead align the human body, mind, and soul in harmony with nature.

We are bound by the laws of time, space and causation according to finite reality. Dharma is the foundation of this causal existence, the one step below the infinite. Dharma is the projection of divine order.
Dharma has imbibed the highest principles of Truth. Dharma is not just law, or harmony, it is pure Reality.

In the dharmic religions (Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism), the wheel of life or dharmachakra is symbolic representation of samsara, the continuous cycle of birth, life, death. Flower of life (look into the EYE of the island = 23) by drawing the hexagram 23 (I-ching) u will get the flower ... THE ULTIMATE SECRET of life will be found on the island.

You did not fall asleep ever in comparative religion classes did ya

The Flower of Life, a symbol most commonly associated with New Age permutations of Sacred Geometry, is a curiously universal emblem, appearing in religious contexts all over the globe.
The oldest example can still be seen at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos , it can also be seen in early Phoenecian,Assyrian, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and later medieval art. The example at the Osireion, with its multiplivcity of vesica pisces shapes, may represent the 'eyes' of Osiris- a symbol of the omniscience of the god.
This delicate net of overlapping circles arranged in a six-fold pattern is called the "flower of life" because it contains a number of other shapes within its deceptively simple pattern, leading some to call it the "blueprint of creation." By connecting points in the pattern, a multitude of patterns and shapes can be traced, including a tree of Life, pentagram, and various representations of three dimensional objects.
The six-fold "see" pattern used as a basis for the larger pattern is often referred to on its own as the seed of life...

Cool stuff ding ding - Pali you hit the nail right on the head ..

Over them the repeated death and birth have no power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all things is God..

The above text is from a gnostic text Gospel of the Nazirenes..

Th seed of life, blueprint of creation in the center ? circle .Transference, cloning, they won't
worry about the body dieing if they have scanned your sub atomic parts with the black smoke
I call smokie and have your blueprint on a computer. You would transfer your consciousness to
the cloned body. Reincarnate would be the word I would use.

Great stuff.

These are certainly things I'm *supposed* to know but have never studied my own religion having grown up in a mostly christian environment. I'm almost tempted to present a disguised question about the relevance of the numbers etc to my ashram.
