Do you think it's an evil act - just touching the True Power? Lews Therin said 'IT IS HIM', so Rand knew pretty much what he was touching.
Do you think that touching the True Power is...
1. Evil. It's like a moral test for Rand. Either you can die, or you can use the devil's power to free yourself.
2. Evil but necessary. You do what you need to, to survive. You can always say sorry later.
3. Not evil. It's a form of energy like saidin or saidar. There's nothing moral about the debate.
Thoughts?
I don't think LTT's response was coherent enough for Rand to really know, and I don't think he'd ever heard of the TP. That being said, I think Rand would have done anything to get out of that collar at that moment, and I think even if he had had full knowledge of tapping into the DO's strength, he would have done it. "Take what you want, and pay for it."
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

4. He just reached for a power he sensed. What did he know? If he did know ...
