This is a short theory, but after the shocking finale, I think that ever since the plane crashed the first time around, John Locke has, at times or always, been or possessed by the so called "black shirt guy," Jacob's rival and rumoured bad twin.
This would explain multiple motifs associated with John's characters, e.g.:
- the miraculous healing of his legs
- the spiritual connection with the Island
- the black and white themes associated with John Locke:
- the game he demonstrated to Walt
- the black-and-white eyes in Claire's nightmare in season one
- Abbaddon's guidance while Locke was paralyzed. As it was revealed in the finale, Jacob also traveled or appeared off-island to ask Illana for help.
If this turns out to be true in season six, it would show that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse used foreshadowing as a narrative device very craftly.
