I think you said about being vs doing was spot on. Actions are an extension of being, radiance is the consequence of fulness and service is natural to what feels well and whole. The problem with a focus upon doing is that it seems to induce into others a need to achieve much to gain a worth they initially are without, that their effect upon the outer world is the meter of judgment and worth against them. On the other end, a focus upon being focuses upon the inner balance which allows an healthier relationship with both the self and the world, then radiance comes naturally without needing to be necessarily sought and with a greater purity when it comes naturally. e.g. Music made by people who do what they do because music is their passion and drive to manifest, will be better than music made by people whose focus is merely to provide something to many people and picked music to achieve that.
I think like with catalysts, the Law of Responsibility works merely with what you feel and the balance of it together. Balancing your thoughts and emotions is your responsibility, your honor/duty, and when it comes into balance then you naturally radiate without thought and have something to focus through your thoughts also.
If I had a single thing I could offer everyone in this world, it'd be the sight that they are whole and complete and without anything to achieve to be of worth. I think if everyone came to feel this without resistance, then we'd see a lot of the ills of this world fall away as they are no longer needed and positive transformation would naturally start occuring.

I have to admit I initially thought you were a bit intense at labelling the archetypes as dangerous and in that I am sorry because it was a dismissal of your experience with them.
Thinking further about it, I thought maybe it is not the basic concept of the archetypes that you found dangerous, that is : matrix, potentiator, catalyst, experience, significator, transformation and great ways, and instead the colored take at them offered, because it imposes the color of others' significators which you can not resonate with, instead of finding your own way to color them, which is completely needed to integrate them. I don't doubt there are many here who may be of Ra and may find in this coloration their own, but I don't think this would be the case with just anyone. A focus upon using them for balance might be more helpful than a focus upon polarity, as once balanced polarity will come naturally.
I had my own resistance to reading about the archetypes in the material and that was not because I wasn't interested, just that I felt intuitively it is much more powerful soul-wise to discover them through your own learning. I did come back to it searching a lot but only when I felt limited in my contemplations of what each position symbolizes.
On a more general note, I think not everyone is lead to the material for the same reasons, not everyone who finds it is meant to walk the adept's path and I think no two person here who takes this path can walk the same path. So in any case of resistances, be it someone that doesn't want to learn about the archetypes or a hurt soul that is not ready to hear about the mechanics of healing, in both cases the ego will try to justify itself as right and will attempt to dismantle the resistance in the other, while the heart is merely to acknowledge the resistance. Learning only occurs when one is open to it and attempting to force a learning has merely potential to back fire into providing teaching to the self.
