He who is dead yet lives

[Cillian]

But that doesn't explain the people in the boat. Maybe they need to transport his body to wherever Alivia happens to be?

 

Doesn't have to a real boat, it could just be like "We're in this boat together"-> "We're in this situation together"

The people in the boat being Min, Avie and Elayne.

What if the voice Rand hears in his head isn't really LTT?

It is. His personality, his memories, him.

I've paid special attention as I have been listening to the books recently and I've noticed that the voice appears when Rand is confronted with emotions that he doesn't want to feel (fear, sadness, despair).

Which emotions doesn't he want to feel when LTT takes the Source off him, slaughters a Shadowspawn army and threatens to commit suicide in KoD? And how does this explain the memories? The ability to draw? This is the real LTT in Rand's head, not just Rand's way of dealing with things, all the evidence we have indicates this is the truth.

 

If it was the Taint' date=' there would have been little support for it to be still there after the cleansing.[/quote']Except for the fact that what the taint causes stays after the taint is gone. It just doesn't get any worse. Plus, we are actually told that this is a rare form of madness, where people hear the real voices of past lives. And the taint does cause madness.

 

Min's viewing, I think the touching part could have been fulfilled in Rand's balefire incident with Moridin.

One of them dies. This hasn't happened yet. So it could not have been fulfilled, although this might be the basis of it being fulfilled in the future.

Egwene's dream might be fulfilled by Moridin's face becoming Rand's; though the mask part might have a symbolic meaning and not a literal meaning, the masks representing Rand's different titles.

Of course it is symbolic.

By the context of the quote I'd have to assume it was rand. The 3 are elayne, min and aviendha. It also parallels the Arthurian legend. But as for a crazy theory, could it be Slayer? Didn't the Dark Prophecy say something to the effect of "one lives and one dies but both are".
