Awkward moment to jump in but I do think it is possible, it's using separation upon a dimension (space) and would be in the image of quite many other things within Creation, as ultimately everything is One Source in a simultaneous experience of Itself.
Quite some time back I felt it was possible I was having multiple incarnations at once and I felt a certain rejection for this thought until I came to accept its potential. I have not pushed much in this direction as it does not matter all that much, which is also why I haven't dwelled more upon past lives than what surfaced naturally.
About the general theme, I don't think it is important that you connect with all potential distortions of self in their expression seen without from your own, but you pretty much stated why the work of the adept seeks transparency of personality through working opposites.
Let's say I am a very patient person (I actually am!) that knows not much how it is to feel impatient (I really don't! why do people get upset all the time?!!) and I am somewhat closed to feel this polarity of energy (it's neat to just feel patience right?). Well if as healing work I am to assist in the healing of impatience I need to be open to feel in full (or partially) this energy to work with it. A self-identity of being patience over impatience would hinder this work as my personality is not transparent to blend with the energy of other-self as one with me.
Anyway I think it is fine to work with what you resonate with in the moment as that will ever be changing. Btw, until a few months ago I had no idea what it felt like to be stuck in an interpersonal problem with someone and had been stuck in it for weeks where I saw more anger from within than I had ever seen in all past years. With the contrast of my life, it was hard not to find this so very amusing, but also a good learning opportunity as I had seen this be experienced by others but never first-hand. I guess I still don't know first hand how it is to have this without acknowledging your own free will and perceiving everything felt reflects how you want to feel.
