Among the six objects Richard Alpert shows John Locke to determine which already belonged to him was a comic book called Mystery Tales, with the text on the front reading, “What was the secret of the mysterious HIDDEN LAND!” Undoubtedly, this is yet another jab at fans eager to know the
Lost island’s secrets.
Of the six objects, the other two Locke denied to pick up were the baseball mitt and the Book of Laws (a possible indication that Locke serves a higher power than the laws of man). He chose granules (likely of the island’s beach, indicating the island does belong to Locke), a compass (indicating Locke’s purpose of finding the island) and a knife, which Richard doesn’t think belongs to Locke.
We also learned that Locke had foreseen the existence of the Black Smoke Monster. This might actually fit, since he was spiritually inspired when he first saw it and since then, he constantly asks Ben what it is, hoping to understand this thing he's seen since he was a child.
