I have realized some things after watching a couple of Eko-centric episodes and the situation with his brother Yemi.
There is a scene in "The Cost of Living" where Eko is chasing Yemi through the jungle. Mind you, I do not believe Yemi is a ghost or hallucination because his physical body has been moved from the plane. Yemi leads Eko to a field where they dialogue and the last thing Yemi says to Eko is, "You talk to me as if I was your brother." To me this translates as Yemi is himself as a physical being, but he was embodied by another being when his dead body landed on the Island.
As far as I know, any dead body that was brought/flown to the island, that is they died before they got there, has be resurrected as someone else. Three examples:
The first being Christian Shepard, who was brought to the island in a coffin, later to be resurrected and we still aren't completely sure who Christian really is as of now.
Then there is Yemi, who crashed, presumably dead, in the drug plane from Nigeria. I also think that Eko's many encounters with the smoke monster has something to do with Yemi's presence on the Island.
And then there is Locke, who was also brought back to the Island in a coffin and embodied by who is assumed to be MIB.
These three are all embodied, in my opinion, by either Jacob or MIB. However the strange thing about Locke is that he is now 2 bodies, one being MIB and the other which I believe Jacob will enter now that he is killed....and we could potentially see two Lockes face off ( I'm getting ahead of myself) but we have seen LocKe display symbolism of BOTH black and white, one example being Claires dream where Locke has one black eye and one white eye.
One other observation is Before these 3 people died, they all had the ability to forsee certain events. Yemi knew, before Eko was to board the drug plane, that something bad was going to happen and he begged Eko not to get on it. And of course Locke was able to predict the weather as well as for see many other events take place.
After all this, I'm not quite sure what it means but thats what we love about Lost isn't it.
