Yes! So much this.
I think a lot of people tend to hang onto the idea of pos or neg polarization somehow being equivalent to good or evil in theological systems, but that's not what the channeled entities are talking about. Ra is speaking of polarization in a very literal way. Energy/catalyst passes through us, and in doing so, it becomes polarized in one way or another based on how we react to it. This then radiates/transmits outwards, like light passing through a lens. The internal catalyzation/polarization is what matters, not the external worldly result.
A good example might be the healthcare system, and how so many nurses (but certainly not all) seem to turn into very bitter, nasty people who act like petty dictators and start treating their patients like objects. Or worse. These are people who are ostensibly in a "positive" service-oriented profession, but they internalize their experiences in such a way that it increases their negativity. As a result, they may "do their job" and keep patients alive, but they turn it into a miserable, dehumanizing, power-based experience. Nurse Ratchett from "Cuckoo's Nest" would be the archetype of this trope, I suppose.
Personally, I see the polarization process as being largely internal. As an entity comes to understand and control/influence the energy flow within themselves, the RESULT is polarization in one direction or the other. Internal changes lead to external changes, not the other way around. Sort of like how it would be extremely old-fashioned to claim that a child has become an adult because of external genital development. Adolescence is largely an internal process, with the genitals merely being the most obvious external result of changes that are already ongoing.
This isn't to say that changes to one's lifestyle can't help the process, but it still requires deliberate/intentional effort to regulate one's reactions to their environment. For someone who wants or believes themselves to be positive, it doesn't matter how many hours they volunteer at a soup kitchen if they aren't deliberately cultivating love and sympathy for others at the same time.
Change comes from within.
