could it be that it is "who" offers the ring that defines its 
properties?  so maybe that is why coop told laura not to
accept the ring the first time since it was being offered by
a representative of the dark lodge. in the end, as others have
posted, MIKE's purpose was not to save laura from death but to
offer her the ring so as to help transport her to the lodges
and eventually to the white lodge. 

also, think that the hypothesis that earlier it was not yet
the right time for her to except the ring since, since it was offered by the 
dark forces, and also because she was not spiritually ready, she had
not yet achieved the spiritual power to confront, and overcome her
"shadow self."

as for MIKE not stating right out that BOB was in leland was
because now that he is associated with the white lodge he
cannot interfere beyond certain limits when dealing with
the physical world of TP. like the Giant he could not help
coop right out, but could give him only vague clues, and it
was then up to coop to come up with the solutions. 

still the part with him and the LMFAP, does not fit into his
"conversion." but maybe as others have posted that the ARM
represents his connection to the darker forces. removing it
is the break, yet in the final scenes of FWWM, being in
the presence of the arm--and the way the LWFAP was situated 
near him like an appendage--that he reverted back to his old
self....but again why?


it seems to me, that while in the physical plain of TP that the
"good" lodge residents are somewhat powerless.

sally--





i tend to believe MIKE. it would be rather interesting to
