I would say that Lews Therin was flawed, and that Rand is manifesting these abilities because he's figured out what his role was. Remember, Lews Therin was an incarnation of the Dragon but he was not that first nor can we say he was among the greatest - he seemed like a deeply conflicted man from what memories we saw of him, and the indications from the BWB. Not evil or petty, but very human and very flawed.

Rand in this manifestation seems, as someone has pointed out, a demigod or a deity.

It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1469 Views
did you not read my reply title? That was a quote from The Shadow Rising, same exact context. *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:32:23 PM 796 Views

It sounds like Rand is finally growing up RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 03:46:54 PM 1521 Views
He has achieved enlightenment and knows more than everyone else, so he doesn't have to be insecure.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:52:23 PM 1318 Views
I don't agree - I think that what he is going to tell Egwene will be unpleasant for everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:07:19 PM 1417 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1468 Views
