So, Rand is hearing voices. Is Lews Therin a real entity, or is he a product of Rands taint-maddened imagination?
• Two minds inhabit Rand’s body; Rand and LTT. Implies that Rand is relatively sane still and his problems can be attributed to stress, paranoia, fear and another mind trying to take him over and that Lews is completely insane. However, it doesn’t make much sense for LTT to be talking to Rand. If we look at the other people who have lived past lives, we don’t see this happenning. Mat’s memories of his past life/lives are integrated into his own personality. Same with Birgitte–she doesn’t talk to “Marion,” she says she was once called Marion. If LTT _is_ a seperate entity, it could imply that Rand is just some poor sod who happened to be born into the same body that LTT was reborn into, and that not Rand, but LTT is the actual Dragon Reborn. OTOH, it was _Rand_ who pulled the Sword that Ain’t, not LTT; he hadn’t even shown up then. There is only one case in which we definitely know that two entities coexist in one body: Ordeith. However, this wasn’t a rebirth. This theory also neglects
