Alex, I'd just like to say that that was wonderful.
It's true, we who are on earth now (the "roots" of the higher self as you so poetically elucidate), are the ones who make the Ultimate Choice. I'd forgotten the clarity of that truth, but you expressed it in such a clear way…
As for negativity as catalyst: Of course! A dark frame of mind or dwelling on the negative can certainly be used to reach greater polarity. I find that some of my greatest breakthroughs in self-realization are when I've been "down" in some way, and then realized that my situation was created entirely by myself.
It's like the old saying goes, the light as more meaning when set beside the dark. Not sure if that helps — Feeling stream-of-consciousness-y.
