Back in April of 2007, I wrote:
"I've always thought his line 'I was a spook for 10 years, Des' was a
clue that they really were in the afterlife. The fact that spook is
slang for spy is the perfect way to hide the clue in plain sight.
The
time period between the end of the first Gulf War (1991) and
Desmond's
arrival (2001) could be the ten years he's referring to."
Despite the producers' insistence that the Losties are not dead, the
island seems to be increasingly depicted as a meeting point between
the world of the living and the world of the dead.
"The Well of Souls (Arabic:Bir el- Arweh) is the name of a natural
cave located immediately beneath the Sakhrah (the Foundation Stone) in
the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem...
Since Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad ascended heavenwards from
the stone, a related tradition has grown up that states that the Last
Judgment will happen at the Sakhrah, and that the souls of the dead
gather in the well of souls to wait for that event, and to pray...
According to pre-Islamic folklore, the well of souls was a place where
the voices of the dead could be heard along with the sounds of the
Rivers of Paradise, as, according to the folklore, the cave is located
on top of the Abyss of Chaos..."

Speaking of chaos, Dome of the Rock, and the Foundation Stone...
S4E2 Charlotte: I dunno. I had to jump, it was chaos. I'm lucky to be
alive!
S1E7 Liam: You're the rock god, baby brother.
S2E24 Kelvin: Well, gosh, I didn't think you had the stones to come
after me. I was a spook for 10 years, Des.
