If you ever played the rpg "Black and White" you would be able to control a little monster who grows into a very BIG monster. From its birth you train it to love hate and work, depending on what you do the monster will change attitude obedience and even appearence.

I guess what I am getting at is, do some of you still think that the monster (LOST's monster) is a indedpendently operating creature, Is the "monster" a living creature?

Or do you think that the "monster" is a controlled creature (like my Black and white creature), Is dharma controlling it? If not them, who?

Some prompting questions.....
