The Dharma Initiative, also written DHARMA (Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications[1]), was a fictional research project featured in the television series Lost.
well, I think a few years ago, there was a group based on The Dharma Initiative, and they did studies on shit, Im not really sure of what they did.....
@greenbay357 That's a good question. Perhaps because they knew that someone was in the Swan station pushing the button. Or, perhaps it was just a vestigial element of the story.
Actually, when Ben killed the Dharma Initiative members, he took over the Initiative, and they controlled it themselves. The food, electonics, submarine fuel etc orderings were made by a church in Michigan, which later on (when Ben took over) Eloise Hawkings was put in charge ofr. You'll find this out in Mysteries Of The Universe, the Dharma Initiative episodes.
Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative (DHARMA Initiative).. I love the name!! I'm obsessed and always say like the way Ben Linus said when he brought John Locke to the remaining of the DHARMA members.. "THE DHARMA INITIATIVE"
Yeah....really. I got that tip about 18 months ago. It was one of 3 different paths they were contemplating on the show. They have now scraped it for another path which I promised I would not utter in fear of a lawsuit. All I can say is...ET phone home.
Here in Paraguay. That number is like say gay. Its funny. In the Stroessner dictatorial government they made a gay recount and the number of them was 108. Now, I dont know if them knows the meaning of that number or was a coincidence.
The fact that the person on the video tapes is Japanese, or looks Asian, maybe im wrong on the place were he was, but anyways maybe it is a japan started institution, due to the fact that it is in the pacific. just a theory
yo everyone i think there is a link between dharmaand cloverfield there logo appears once and the main character is going to asia and he talks about learning japanies search for it but its there
they brought the polar bear to the island to do the stuff in the hydra, not by teleporting it. ben showed up in the sahara because he had to leave the island, and theres probably some explanation for why he ended up in the desert, but its just another lost mystery till then :p
what are you talking about? the polar bear? actually i found a theory about ben appearing in the desert, and thats that the desert is on the exact other side of the world, that has a similar casimir effect, so when the island was either teleported, or moved in time or both, ben was for some reason thrown out on th oposite side.
Total 11: The Swan - Eletromagnectism The Flame - Communications The Staff - Storage The Arrow - Medical Station The Orchid - ?? Maybe it has something to do with the Monster The Tempest - Poison Gas Station The Looking Glass - Jamming station The Temple - I don't know yet, but it's connected with the four-finger foot statue. Maybe it's the Dharma door that Sayd found at the end of the 2nd season The Hydra - Zoological The Barracks - Where the Dharma employeers live.
The Orchid - I think it has something to do with time travel. There where two rabbits with the number 15 on it and they shouldn't get near to each other to prevent a paradoxon.
The Temple - As seen in Episode 9 of season 4 I would say the Tempel is connected to the monster.
wow this video is interesting. what episode did it come from? i've seen up to the end of season 3 only. why does it say the hanso foundation 1981, when dharma was there way before 1981? ben went there as a child and hes like 40 now.
k so i just looked up dharma on tape and it's freaking me out. theres like this girl recording a meeting they are having. the velenzetti equation just gives me the chills. on wikipedia they talk about the hanso foundation and the dharma initiative like it's real. they don't even mention lost. i don't know if its real or not but they've seriously dug themselves deep....good thing they know what they're doing.
yes, it is a religion, many people worship it, the chinese guys in the vids, those are the gods, the HQ for the religion is at the lost island. LOST is based on a true story after all.
haha nice call, didnt notice it.. i was too busy reading shit before it changed.
this have any relation to lost? send me a message if you know. i may never look at this vid again. im just doing some research before i watch season 3
Obviously it is fake there are 6 stations: The Swan, The Pearl, The Staff, The Arrow, The Flame and The Hydra. The Looking Glass Is presumably a secret station as only 6 stations exist in the orientation films, and even the others have little information on it.
The only 2 that show up here are: The Swan and The Arrow. All the other logos are made up.
I came across this vid ages ago. that music is indeed "Kimigayo", the Japanese National Anthem! Its too esoteric and occultish to be true; NONE of the Others wear weird white robes. They havent even got The Pearl as one of the stations (a fatal error), hence i can say this is FAKE!
Yes, absolutely- the background music is the Japanese national anthem, looped a couple of times. I know because I've lived in Japan for 14 years. Can't miss that tune. Wonder why they chose it?
Yes, you're right. I have lived in Japan for the past 14 years, and I know that song like the back of my hand. I was wondering why they chose that particular tune for this video... did it have any significance? Or did the video producers just like the sound and "atmosphere" of the tune?
Fake. Nice editing, though. Theres no Station 4 but 2 Station 5's, typo. The way you know it's fake: look at all the Hanso we saw. Before this, we've only seen a static-y picture of him, so the chances of us seeing four or five clear shots of him? Zip.
it was posted on the net long before the Lost game was revealing anything big. Also, Station 4 says Station 5 when the logo was shown, either accidental or purposely. Don't forget that it has no mention of the Pearl or Medical hatches which are of uttermost importance in the Dharma Initiative.
did you make this? or was it part of a DVD boxset
