Yoda sends Luke to the cave to teach him a lesson, and I think Yoda does that with the power of the force too. Remember, you can't think in terms of 1,2,3 when you watch the OT, and the power of the darkside is alot more respected.

CO, do you really think we're supposed to believe that the dark side is more powerful? I mean, Yoda point-blank refuted that when Luke asked him in ESB. Unless of course, you just mean a quick power-up, rather than an overall higher threshhold of power...

I really don't think that, overall, the dark side is stronger, but it's "quicker" like Yoda said. You channel that emotion, that anger, and the resulting power gained is, of course, there. But it's like the difference between taking steroids and working out for real. The steroids will give you want you want, but you're at the mercy of that "drug", like you stated yourself. I honestly don't think Yoda was lying about what he told Luke, though. And you should know me better than to presume that I'm thinking in terms of the prequels when I come to this conclusion.
