I have had to think about this for a long time and this what i came up with.
We know after episode 8 season 5 that time stopped in the 1970’s when Locke moved the island. We found out that sawyer lied to protect him-self and the others; we also saw the four foot statue. From this episode to me it is apparent that they have all lived this before and lost will end with the repeating history. What I mean by this is that Daniel has said you cannot change the past but he clearly has and so has Locke and
Ben is trying to change the past by time travelling so he can save the island and be leader again. What I believe is that the oceanic 6 crashed and they all died because of the people on the freighter and the island moved and Widmore won the war. So Ben decided to time travelled back to the day of the crash to try and change the past and that’s how he got cancer because one of the rules of the island is that if you turn the wheel for personal gain something will happen to you. For example at the ending of season 3 Ben told jack that this happened before and that the people on the boat killed 40 people. How did Ben know this if he hasn’t time travelled? Also at the end of season 3 when Ben and jack were talking Ben told the others to kill Sayid, jin and Bernard how did they know to pretend. This is because he and the others knew they weren’t meant to kill them at this point. In season 4 we find out about why the others need to go back but it still isn’t clear. My t! heory is that lost season 6 will end with them having a war with Widmore and them becoming the others and watching themselves make the same mistakes as before until they except their role on the island at the time that they were meant to. For example, jack was meant to accept his role on the island and believe when he saw Desmond. Sawyer believed in the island when he found the man who wrecked his childhood he become a leader as a reward which we saw in ‘la fleur’ he accepted his role at the right time and space and has the chance to change the past. Desmond, Jack, Hurley, Sayid, Kate and Sun haven’t and that’s why they need to go back. They need to find their role and accepted it until they do history will repeat itself and that’s why the island wont allow them to commit suicide and always bring them back. When Ben turned the wheel for the first time the island the island was jumping through time because Ben wasn’t meant to turn the wheel. When Locke turned the! wheel they stayed in that time zone because Locke done what h! e was su ppose to do and try and get the others back to the island. This theory also makes sense to charlotte. She was never meant to come back to the island and didn’t have a role and that’s why she died. Theory by sawyerandkate
