Great thread.
I've been thinking about Ben's metaphor of Magic Box, what the heck it might be and the link it has to dear Dr. Alpert , Ph.D in psychedelics. (remember the actual historical lineage of the name Richard Alpert and LSD researches of 70s). Meanwhile, what do you all think this Magic Box's about?
Something definitely about the faculty of
will, both in the sense of
free will and
will power (which will only be the former's expression in the fashion of commitment, like Ben suggested) Kind of works with the suggestion that it's rather James that 'brought' A.Cooper-T. Sawyer Dad to the 'island'. James' whole journey to Sydney was fueled with his will to go after the man who destroyed his family. Remember, "nature's got a strange way of course-correcting"? Almost as if it has its own will (what we'd like to think as fate or destiny) Well, this time it seemed to have fused with that of James
.. BUT what's this Magic Box??
