With all that has been revealed this season, we can all agree that time travel is a key component in the mysterious LOST universe. At the least, the idea of "TIME" will be examined in the seasons to come and should prove to play a big role in what will happen in the end, or to put it more accurately, what has already "occurred".
Time is not chronological:
What if time doesn't move forward? What if the future has already happened? Maybe for a moment we should abandon the notions of flashbacks and flashforwards and focus on a new idea of space and time as a picture that's already complete, a still photograph, a masterpiece.
If the above is true in the realm of the LOST universe, the pretenses of fate and destiny are misleading, an effective red herring. Fate and destiny do not exist if the future has already happened; Kate and Sayid are married. Jack has overdosed on valium, Claire is now Sawyer's barber, Hurley doesn't know his name, and Sayid is still just as depressed as ever.
It would be premature to jump to conclusions and suggest that everything is set in stone.
The island is a place that is separate from "TIME and SPACE". Whether the island is separated by a black hole or some kind of other force field, the island is looking more and more like a place where time does not exist, a place where everything outside of its realm has already occurred. The catch is, or the cleverly alluded to "FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL" is that the island is the paintbrush to the masterpiece, and for "now", Ben has been the artist. That is, the island or something on the island is the vessel that enables one to transport anywhere on the canvas of time and space. While travelling through the masterpiece, the picture can be changed and molded to satisfy the desire of the traveller, who in this case of "now", is Ben.
It's Matrixesque:
Like the Matrix, the island is separate from the world or life, as we know it. It's dangerous to unplug and plug yourself because obviously, aside from Desmond, mostly everyone leaving the island under educated of the island's location has gone crazy and died - this must be why whoever controls the island, whoever leads the hostiles, is the artist. Whether it be Jacob or Ben, or soon to be Locke, communion with the island seems to be the way to the absolute power Widmore is fighting for, who must have been the artist at one "time" or another, island "time", that is. Maybe that's why Jack needs to go back, maybe he needs to change something, now that he knows the future is unstoppable unless he can go back to the island and reinsert himself into another "place and time" of the masterpiece of life outside the island.
The FROZEN DONKEY WHEEL has been solved.
