In your theory, you argue that Min's viewing of Rand merging with another man, and one living and one dying, makes the body-switch idea problematic/impossible.

First off, I agree with you that the viewing is about Rand and Moridin merging, not about Rand & LTT. There's no doubt in my mind that's the case.

But suppose Rand's body dies while spilling his blood at SG (thereby fulfilling the Aelfinn requirement that he die). But, Rand's and Moridin's souls remain linked in Moridin's body, for a time, due to the "merger" (prior to Rand's body's death, the merger was encompassing both bodies). Eventually Rand wins control of the body, somehow evicting Moridin's soul (thereby fulfilling Min's vision of a merger, with one living and one dying).

In other words, from the Aelfinn's perspective it's Rand who dies, because it's his body that dies. But from Min's perspective, it's Moridin who dies because it's his soul that is returned to the soul pool.

That (or something along that idea) is about the only way I can think of how the body-switch idea can work in conjuction with Min's viewing. I'm not saying I buy into the idea, I was simply trying to think of a way to get around the problem you identified.

I just don't see that as Nynaeve's "area of expertise" - 13/10/2010 10:09:39 PM 755 Views
Nynaeve was the one who witnessed the weave, not Egwene. - 14/10/2010 12:38:14 AM 738 Views

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again). - 12/10/2010 04:37:26 PM 809 Views
That be my theory - 12/10/2010 04:45:55 PM 838 Views
and from all other people - 12/10/2010 05:33:45 PM 936 Views
And your point is? *NM* - 12/10/2010 05:35:35 PM 357 Views
It's not specifically your theory. or a theory that you thought of first..... *NM* - 13/10/2010 04:32:48 PM 352 Views
Nobody said I thought of it first. - 13/10/2010 04:36:45 PM 670 Views

You could at least try not to contradict yourself. - 13/10/2010 06:29:11 PM 660 Views

Some more thoughts ... - 12/10/2010 05:03:58 PM 837 Views
I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband. - 12/10/2010 05:08:10 PM 713 Views
It's not that I think it's necessary, per se ... - 12/10/2010 05:44:03 PM 826 Views
On that particular point... - 12/10/2010 06:05:59 PM 811 Views
That's reasonable speculation, I think ... - 12/10/2010 07:58:23 PM 736 Views
I don't know that Egwene's lack of recognition necessarily means anything... - 12/10/2010 08:07:11 PM 645 Views
Yep, I agree ... - 12/10/2010 09:18:57 PM 726 Views
By the way ... - 12/10/2010 10:07:49 PM 650 Views
But that is not the only prophecy of Rand's death. - 12/10/2010 10:13:50 PM 652 Views
Just playing devil's advocate here ... - 12/10/2010 10:58:40 PM 806 Views
That raises an interesting question: - 13/10/2010 04:01:17 PM 737 Views

Are we doing that now? I call dibs on Be'laim. - 14/10/2010 04:32:59 PM 799 Views
Body swap or Nynaeve heal seem the best bets to me. - 14/10/2010 04:42:16 PM 725 Views
