Warning! Spoil Alert! Do not read this if you do not want to know the ending to TV series “LOST.”
After contemplating about the last and final episode of the TV show “LOST,” I had a very meaningful revelation. Interestingly, I had not watched the show before but decided with all the commotion I was going to watch it to see what the buzz was about. I was not familiar with any of the characters and found it very hard to follow. It continually jumped from one scene to the other with no explanation of what was going on. I guess you really needed to see it from the beginning to be able to follow it.
LOST is apparently a series where a group of people crashed onto a remote island and could not find a way to be saved or rescued. In this particular series you would see a scene where the people are acting in survival mode doing whatever possible to survive. They would hurt one another and threaten each other, seemingly looking out only for themselves. Then it would switch to a scene where they were back in the civilized world where they would encounter each other and suddenly recognized that they were together on the isolated island and relive the experience of the treachery and survival that they had experienced. I wondered after such a harrowing experience how on earth could you forget those you shared it with. In their survival mode some almost killed each other. But as they revert back to the present in the civilized place the only connection that surfaced were those of love for one another.
I still didn’t understand what was going on, so I decided to go back to the bedroom and not watch this frustrating show anymore. But for some reason I put the show back on while in bed since it was almost over. In the end, one of the characters was going to his dad’s funeral, when he went to open the casket, to take one last look at his dead father and realized he was not there. Then as he looked up and his father was standing in front of him and he said “But I thought you were dead?” He said, “I am.“ He slowly realized he was dead too. As he walked into the next room, which was the church sanctuary, everyone from the island was there. They were all dead too. They were all happy to be with each other no matter what their relationship was on the island. They all looked at one another with love and appreciation in each other’s eyes even despite the turmoil and pain they had experienced together. In the church I noticed there were symbols from all the religions. It didn’t dawn on me what this was really about until I thought about it the next day.
The one thing that got me was, when the man was at his father’s funeral and he looked up and saw his dad alive again. I thought to myself, how cool it would be to really see my dad again. I was very close to my dad. Then suddenly I lost him in 2004 and realized I will never see him again in this life, if ever. This scene touched me and I began to cry thinking about the many dreams I had when I would see my parents and I would say, “I thought you were dead?” It made me wonder if you really do ever see them again. I was crying so hard I had to contain myself thinking I don’t want my husband to see me this way, it would be too embarrassing. But he didn’t come to bed until really late so I was relieved he didn’t see me with all those tears.
Then the next day he mentioned how sad the show LOST was. He revealed to me that he had to go out into our backyard for he was crying so profusely over his deceased father. He had the same reaction I had but we both tried to conceal our feelings.
The next day I started thinking about the end of the show and began to understand the true meaning. They were in the afterlife where all the hurt and pain we feel and act out through our own fears are all forgotten and forgiven when we realize our true nature. We are so caught up in the survival mode and ego we never truly appreciate one another. Through our judgments and resentments we focus on the deserved punishment and we cannot forgive for we want justice. But once we are on the other side we can see only the love and understand each other. All the survival modes are only done out of ignorance and fear. It all doesn’t matter when on the other side, we love each other, we have let go of all resentments and go from a place of fear to a place of unconditional love for all.
I guess the show LOST could be indicative of our life here on earth as we struggle against one another because all our fears are based on our survival modes and you might say we are “lost.” We have not found our way back to love and oneness with each other.
I find it very interesting that the show ended the way it began. With a man lying down and a dog comes up to lie by his side and the camera focuses on his eye closing. This was in the beginning and end. I believe it is symbolic for closing our eye to the illusion and that there is no beginning, nor end. This was so thought provoking and meaningful! This was the story of our lives. What we do to one another while on earth and in the end the realization of what is important. We are all together in this and we will all come together in love. We will awaken. It was all an illusion; all a dream.
As to whether or not I will ever see my father again, well something very interesting happened the very next day. My dad and I were very close and he was the perfect dad in my eyes. My dad loved coffee. Whenever you said the word “coffee” his eyes lit up. So I have always associated the smell of coffee with my dad. The very next morning I smelt coffee so strong while still in bed. I asked my husband if he already made the coffee and he said, “NO.” Well, I knew then my dad was visiting. I guess he answered my question. He is still around and will always be with me and I will see him again.
I asked my son, Christian, to read what I wrote about the show LOST since he saw every episode, and this is his reply: “There is a lot of truth about what you said. Everyone on the island was suffering before they got there, demons from the past, troubled relationships, etc. They were 'LOST' in life. What they found on the island was truth and meaning, and in the end found themselves while LOST.”
