Hi I've been lurking for awhile and have finally decided to start posting. I always thought the madness from the taint was cured by Moridin, so that Lews Therin could see what he's done. Upon realizing he killed his wife/kin, I think that made him insane again but in a different sense, and guilt stricken, hence why he always cried about Ilyena in Rand's head.

One of the things that I was pondering is that maybe LTT is hearing Rand in his head, just when he was living. I mean if people are being reborn and what-not, why can't there also be cross-dimensional blabbering...or however you want to put it. Maybe LTT is hearing Rand while LTT himself is going mad and breaking the world.

 

A simular thing happened in The Magician by Raymond E Feist. In that the character Tomas was able to influence someone who live thousands of years before him.

I've read that.... good book. The Magician, that is.
