DO=Creator?

[BananaOnDrugs]

I just had a random theory and I'm sorry if somebody already made one like that but I had to write it down before forgetting lol.

 

So anyway I was wondering about the light/darkness in Rand's mind.

Now there have been some theories about a light power needed to balance the TP out. Well what if they are one and the same? Now I'm not really sure about this but I presume that the madness seen in Rand's and the Ashaman's minds connects them with the DO. Rand was almost driven to the dark side by it. Now we know that the Forsaken draw the TP from their link with the DO. If there is darkness like that in their minds and that is their connection to him then that could explain Rand's TP in a way not connected to the link with Moridin.

 

"A white radiance, like liquid Power. Light given form and life. She gasped. It coated each of the dark tines, driving into his mind alongside them."

 

Now the light seems to be like a wall between the thorns and Rand's mind. Well what if it's not only a wall but a filter? That would leave Rand able to use power great enough to fight the TP on equal grounds and also the Marathon thing.

Just because an Ashaman sow his weaves doesn't mean it's just Saidin. We know absolutely nothing about a power such as that. Not even if it exists. As far as we know it could be seen by anyone and only channelers actually make out the weaves.(there could be complications for female channelers and differences too)

 

Another part of this theory is that the Creator and the DO are one and the same. Like two sides of a coin. Good and evil.

Something like:

In the begining there was nothing. There was balance. Balance ripped itself apart between good and evil. Good became the world. Evil became the DO. Their battle became the Wheel of Time. Good and Evil were still one and the same. And yet they battled. Something like that.(sounds a little like mistborn I know)

 

In that case the DO's goal could be to destroy good => destroy itself and return balance because it was bored being sealed away.

Now Rand and Moridin's link could be something like that only on a lesser scale.

Several past threads speculated the Creator & Dark One being the same; some of them being somewhat recent.

 

Light power, that would be the One Power; divided into saidin & saidar. Neither half are the True Power.

In Age of Legends, 30 or so channelers were granted the True Power. Now only a few. Not all Forsaken can channel it.

Rand being able to channel it I guess would be through his link with Moridin.

In any real universe that actually involved deities (which as an atheist I don't believe in, but so what?) good and evil would have to be two sides of the same coin, but the WOT isn't "real" enough for this kind of philosophical subtlety, IMO.

Don't forget we're talking about something made by Robert Jordan...
