But maybe the healing powers of the Island are due to some inanimate property of the Island -- perhaps its weird electromagnetic force. So maybe the healing powers just exist on their own (the way, in the real world, a healing mineral spring might exist on its own) and have nothing to do with the apparently conscious being, "the Island," that is always "telling" Locke what to do. If what Locke calls "the Island" is not Jacob, or Locke himself, or any other actual person, than I wonder how it communicates with him. Does the Island send e-mail? ;-) Maybe the Island isn't conscious at all. Maybe Locke "reads" the Island the way other people read tea leaves, or stars, or lines in the palms of hands. Good point!

How would that explain the various people healed from gunshot wounds, paralysis, cancer, etc?
