Do you think you can be at 80% positive polarity, and when you switch, you're at 80% negative, and you can switch back to 80%+, ad infinitum? In considering the mechanics of such an effort, I'm sure there is at least a bit of retracing to go back through, as we are in an illusion that is always trying to confuse and hide things from us after all.
Well I think an entity that attempts solely to identify with one polarity will achieve less great heights in that polarity than one which attempts to distill both facets it contains as it already contains them.
Another way to look at it, if nothing is to be overcome then how do you go about the darkness you contain? Accept yourself as to how you are or reject where you are at to have it mutate into what will be forced to accept itself through catalyst?
In your example of 80%. There would be retracing but the entity might just soar far beyond the bottleneck of 80% it was at after the experience, as it will learn much about itself facing the aspects of itself it had burried deep within and which were ever manifesting in an unconcious fashion.
I think we went a bit beyond the context of what GR said, but no matter how non-optimal another's path is, it is its own fate and not something for others to control or at least this is how I would view acceptance of what other-selves incarnate.
I'd also add I don't think the choice can be faked nor forced, so sometimes facing yourself in different ways is your only mean to make a choice.
