Locke Was Not Paralyzed by G8rfan aka jhisc9999

We all saw in the Season 5 finale, Jacob touching John sfter his fall, perhaps bringing him back to life. One idea I've been toying with is that Jacob may not have saved (or even helped) John after his fall.

If John has been a pawn in this whole story, then why was he healed so miraculously when the plane crashed? To the Others, it made him special, which is what opened the door for him to become their leader. The island's healing power may be limited and may have nothing to do with Jacob. Perhaps Jacob was responsible for John's paralysis so that he would appear special when he landed on the island.

What I mean is, perhaps Jacob planted the thought in his mind that he was paralized. His thoughts were then cleared when he arrived on the island. A miracle! I don't know why Jacob would do this, especially since it seems to play in hands of MIB. But it sure would make for an interesting twist. The kind of twist that Lost loves to pull. Maybe Jacob has his own plan and he's been using Locke just as much as MIB has been.

(Again, sorry if someone's already thought of this)
