>>Im now thinking this is Ben's big plan for himself now.

Ben cant find the island again on his own (much like Widmore).

But Ben knows the island wants the O6 back.

Jack cant find the island on his own, no matter how many plane rides over the ocean he takes.

Ben knows that when you get the O6 together, the island will try very hard to draw them back again.

All Ben has to do now is be with them when that happens ;) thats his ticket back! <<

X...how about that? I agree<G>.
