|

Ladies and Gentlemen, Uluru/Ayers Rock:
Point 1
Some rock paintings from Uluru. The layers of paint creating these markings are regularly renewed. The images themselves go back thousands of years and represent stories of what is called the "Dreamtime":
Also, note this list of aborigine symbols, offering another version of that spiral pattern.
The concentric circle design here is defined as "tree or campfire" but it can mean many things. It generally refers to a meeting place.
The Oceanic Airlines trademark:
Conclusion
There is clear evidence that the people behind Oceanic airlines have an awareness of Aboriginal iconography.
Point 2
The Australian aboriginal tribes have a rich and varied mythology. One belief they share is described here:
The Australian Aborigines speak of jiva* or guruwari*, a seed power deposited in the earth. In the Aboriginal world view, every meaningful activity, event, or life process that occurs at a particular place leaves behind a vibrational residue in the earth, as plants leave an image of themselves as seeds. The shape of the land - its mountains, rocks, riverbeds, and waterholes - and its unseen vibrations echo the events that brought that place into creation. Everything in the natural world is a symbolic footprint of the metaphysical beings whose actions created our world. As with a seed, the potency of an earthly location is wedded to the memory of its origin. (Faces of the First Day: Awakening in the Aboriginal Dreamtime by Robert Lawlor) *These are not Aboriginal words. I believe the author is using terms from Hinduism.
Uluru is believed to possess an unusual quantity of this power.
Words of Isaac of Uluru to Rose:
"There are certain places with great energy -- spots on the Earth like the one we're above now. Perhaps this energy is geological -- magnetic. Or perhaps it's something else. And when possible I harness this energy and give it to others."
"It's not that you can't be healed. Like I said, there's different energies. This is not the right place for you. "
My speculation.... so far
The Dharma Initiative is an attempt to harness the power of sacred places around the world. They have bases on the island, but also near Uluru and at other sacred sites. The Dharma Initiative is an attempt to determine whether the power of these places is spiritual or can be explained scientifically.
The Losties are people who have been identified by Dharma as being susceptible to this unusual power. At various times in their lives they have come into contact with these sacred places, with noticeable results. Jack, while on his travels in Asia, absorbed some of the unusual “sacred power” and, on certain occasions, was able to draw on this power to perform medical miracles, much like Isaac of Uluru.
In other cases, the encounter with unusual forces provoked madness (Hurley and Libby) in the Losties. ALL the Losties have unusual qualities which may or may not have become obvious YET. None of them fully understand these qualities. Most are unaware of these qualities

Very interesting and highly original, this could possibly be the explanation of the island's power and the purpose of the Dharma Initiative.
I like it. I like the pictures, I like the layout, I like the research material.
Very well done. |

Nice! I really like this one. I love how the show combines so many different mystical properties into its mythology- The aboriginal symbolism of Oceanic Air, the Toaist symbolism of DHARMA logos, the Egyptian symbolism of the Hieroglyphics, the Hindu-Bhuddist symbolism of the name DHARMA, and so on.
Keep it going with this line of thought! |

Great job. One of the coolest ideas so far, IMHO. I particularly like the possibility of Jack being able to harness healing power. Well done indeed. _________________

that was great - the oceanic symbol and the aboriginal symbol just blew my mind - one of the most realistic theories so far, excellent! _________________ "Stoner bashing time" |

| Yes. I'd like to hear more in the future, if possible. Keep this going! |

| The only bit I'm really sure about is the Oceanic trademark. I'm sure that it's Aboriginal. The irritating thing is that Aboriginal culture is very diverse and that symbol can have different interpretations. |

| That is a brilliant theory; especially with the Oceanic logo idea. This makes a lot of sense as it has obvious links to the show. |

This theory sounds very promising! The logo even has an Aboriginal 'messy' '10-sec' quality about it. This seems to be pretty strong proof of a link there.
But why would Oceanic airlines have that logo? Are they involved somehow? Is Oceanic airlines a new airline service? Does anybody care about the polar bears? So many questions!! |

| Oceanic airlines and Dharma may be in conjuction with one another. Oceanic have now ceased action; maybe this was scheduled to be thier last ever flight? Dharma may have organised, or at lest helped to organise, this. |

Then there must be someone involved with Dharma that has ties with Oceanic but why would Oceanic allow this? A Higher power, an attractive business prospect? (money? possibly from Government?), Oceanic airlines was built from the ground up for the sole purpose of crashing its passengers on to the island, therefore classing it as an 'accident' so that it wouldn't appear suspicious to the world?

| There is the possibility that someone such as Alvar Hanso may be involved within Oceanic (possibly very high up), and he arranged this. |
