It isn't. The Creator bought the True Source (the OP) into being to drive the Wheel of Time.

It has nothing to do with the Dark One.
From a Q&A with RJ: "The universe is driven by saidin and saidar working against each other..."
So the Creator created the True Source, and the interactions of two elements of the Source drive the Wheel of Time.
This is why the Dark One could not affect the One Power until Lews Therin metaphysically exposed saidin to It, give the DO something to touch and taint. It is also apparently why the Dark One's creation, Shaidar Haran, has powers related to nullifying access to the One Power with an inability to handle objects which use the One Power. It seems wholly beyond the Dark One to manipulate.

True Power, One Power, and possibly a third power?

FWIW, don't forget the third power that we do know about: Fain's. *NM*

The 2 sides are not balanced equally, they are anathema to each other.

Why should there be? The Creator doesn't seem to be an ultimate Good Guy
