AQ: I think there is an understanding that the negative path is more strenuous, more athletic than STO because it requires so much more focus to engineer and build a vehicle which is defiant of the natural flow. Almost complete negation of the natural inclination to be good is much more challenging than building upon it.
Is it hard to be good? Is passage to 4D+ a birthright? Well, as I read the material, the reason that choice in 3D took so much longer prior to the veil is that, yes, it is a great challenge to polarize one's energies in a STO pattern, even though it is abundantly obvious that, yes, this is one's birthright.
Another way of saying this might be that, after "awakening" to the knowledge one's existence as a spiritual entity, one can remain in bed for a great long time afterwards. "Awakening" and "polarization" are not synonymous. The former is revelatory, whereas the latter is a deep re-alignment of self born of many choices and actions made over time.
A & T: A few thoughts. Personally, I take STO & STS to be very useful guidelines for measuring reality by; but I agree entirely with you that they can be fixated on and turned into a stumbling block...especially so considering how easy it is to misinterpret all this when we're viewing it through an obscurant veil. Further, I feel that checking one's heart for an impression of all information (experience) is an essential part of discerning truth. However, increasing your polarity would be one way to enhance your ability to do this.
Ra describes polarity as the amperage across the terminals of a battery, the ability to do work. They say that a - entity with greater polarity has greater ability to switch to + than a less polarized negative entity because the former has more capacity to do work. Increasing polarity, then, isn't about scoring Brownie points; it's about regularizing the energies of your energy body allowing you to do more work ("work in consciousness", as they say). The more charged the flow of energy within you, the greater your polarity, the more clearly you can actually know what your heart has to tell you.
One other note on this. You might observe that as people learn to increase their polarity (or the strength of the "magical personality") that increased energy will need to flow somewhere. Very often it will slither off in the direction of charging theretofore neglected STS desires. The higher you build the polarity curve, the slipperier becomes the slope, so to speak.
