This thread contains major spoilers through MoL. You have been warned!!
Ishamael claimed that the struggles between good and evil had been going on since creation and that human substitutes were used to fight the war. He claimed that the champion for good had been lured to the Shadow several times during the turnings of the Wheel and tried to do the same to Lews Therin
It is my belief that Rand's ability to light his pipe without using either the one power or the true power is the beginning of the next form of power.
Ta'veren have the ability to manipulate the pattern around themselves. Most of the time this is done subconsciously, Mat started doing so consciously to a limited extent.
When Rand stepped outside of the pattern, and then returned however, his ta'veren nature was fully awakened. He can now bend the pattern to his will.
Back before the age of legends Tamirlyn (who was possibly a hermaphrodite Shaman or Druid) possibly also faced the Dark One outside of the pattern and returned being able to wield the one power, which S/He began to teach to others.
I say Tamirlyn was a hermaphrodite because if they were the first to discover the One Power because she would not have been able to teach anyone how to wield Saidin unless he could sense and use it herself.
Only someone who was both Male and Female and yet neither would have been able to access both halves of the One Power.
Now let's say that both Tamirlyn and Rand "defeated" the Dark One which means that the Dark One is still bound to the pattern after their battle. Ishamael claims that the Dark One has won several of the battles, if this is the case then why hasn't the wheel of time been broken?
I believe that when "The One" faces the Dark One and either decides to free or destroy "him" The Dark One is recycled back into the wheel and the former "Chosen One: is bound outside of the pattern which in turn resets the wheel back to the 1st age. Effectively unraveling the pattern and remaking it anew.
