Remember, polarity is on a spectrum. It's not an on\off switch, although Ra suggests at points that as one progresses, it actually becomes easier to switch polarities. Presumably because at that point, conscious choice has entered the mix. Otherwise, it's a matter of percentages, not absolutes.
It might actually be easier to examine the negative path here, because it requires the more extreme behaviors. An entity has to be polarized at a percentage in the high 90s to be harvestable as a negative. Which means, more or less, that virtually every act they do is a willful\deliberate attempt to harm\control others for their own benefit, with little or no regard for ANY other entities besides possibly their family unit. And even then, that family would almost certainly be seen as self-extensions in a very possessive sort of way.
(Doesn't it seem like abusive spouses are often the most protective when outside their own home?)
But someone doesn't get to such a point by accident, and their life would almost necessarily be filled with much trauma and hardship. The abusive are almost always the product of abusive backgrounds. They get pushed towards negativity by their life and karma, as negative actions result in negative re-actions that then fuel their negativity further. But at some point, among the most advanced, they start recognizing this feedback loop and utilizing it deliberately, rather than merely being carried like a leaf on the winds of rage. That would be the point that it starts becoming a conscious or proactive matter, rather than automatic or reactive.
And, of course, the same would be true at the other end - the positively polarized come to recognize how positivity can breed more positivity. The key distinction, I think, is specifically in coming to 1) recognize, then 2) understand, then 3) deliberately utilize the feedback loop. That's "taking control" of one's karma and personal development and that, I believe, is basically the "choice" that distinguishes the harvestably polarized from the rest of the population.
Entities who don't perceive that choice are those who know not and (therefore) care not, and so get stuck in the "gulf of indifference" Ra describes as being between those harvestable and those not.
