Speaking of the glowy place, what do you guys think it is? It sounds like what Jacob told Richard about the island was wrong, and that it has nothing to do with Hell/evil per se, it was just how he explained it to Richard because of his belief system. It seems like it has something to do with the creation of life, and that putting it out would destroy all of humanity. Which would fit what Jacob said to Richard, just in a different paradigm since MiB apparently has to destroy it to "leave."

Now I'm starting to wonder if by leave, he means die...that all he's wanted is the release of death...I'm pretty sure his fakemom said "thank you" when he killed her, probably because she was tired of living. This also fits his plan better, now that we know he was just trying to get the candidates to destroy themselves. Since he could have turned that wheel anytime he wanted to, which means he must know that he can't actually leave the island. So his real motivation must be to destroy humanity and himself along with it, so that he may finally rest.
