Bob posted that he questioned MIKE/OAM's motives that he was in
fact working for BOB when he gave Coop the clues back in the
second season. Though, unfortately, I have seen the flick only once,
I think MIKE did try to help Laura, and had seen the face of God. Now,
wasn't MIKE the one that let Ronnette go. As for not letting Laura go
I think this too was an act of salvation. Laura knew that unless she
confronted Le-BOB and died, using religious terminology, a martyr's death
that she would be tormented forever, and that she too would become part
of the "Evil in the Woods." That is why she allowed herself to be killed,
almost a christfigure. Folks on the group have been brining up the idea
of Peaks as a Passion Play, well Laura's self-sacrifice of her life, and
thus her rejection of Evil would fit into this. Now, MIKE understood this
and knew that for her to become part of the "light," the White Lodge that
she would have to die. and in the end she did see her "angel," her idea
of salvation.

Yet, the part after, in the Lodge has me confused. He did seem to be
apart of the Black Lodge group--LMFAP, and BOB. Maybe, as it has
been suggested that time works differently in the Lodges, and when
Lodge inhabitants interact with the TP world. Thus we see time flowing
backward/forward/circular and thus one time we see a "damned" MIKE,
and the next he has already seen "the face of God," yet we see it all
jumbled.

I still would like to see more (if we have seen it at all) of the White
Lodge. And the robbed figure...I get the impression that he is part of
the White Lodge.

Now I also see it that like in Christian (and other world religions)
that evil exists and its purpose is to intrap innocents, and this evil
interacts more closely with the TP folks to bring about their fall, and
to feed on "sorrow, and pain." Now, also, if you use the "free choice"
the White Lodge folks cannot interfer to a great extend since it is
up to the individual soul to choose between either Lodge. They do not
interfer, yet give vague advice and then it is up to the person as to
how s/he will deal with that assistance. Yet the Black Lodge folks care
only for more things to feed on, and care little for the free will of
the TP dwellers. Damn that was incoherent..
