Even if you're on the positive path, you are still making a concrete request to the HS expecting a response from it. What is quintessential here is the HS's recognition and honouring of the free will of the lower selves and providing what is asked without judgement. However, when a neg entity does the same, it may SEEM enslavement, or you might perceive it as though they had made a pact with the devil, or they are controlled by Satan, whatever your personal background is, where in reality it's just another of your(!) other-selves utilizing available tools to evolve. And that's already more than most are still stuck in.
I agree with you that enslavement is basically a point of view, but I'd say there are still some pretty fundamental differences between how those contacts proceed. A positive entity is going to not just recognize the free will of its higher selves, but also the teach\learning feedback loop, and that they are doing service for their higher selves even as they ask for services. Likewise, this point of view requires recognizing HSes as being -in some ways- separate entities rather than viewing them solely as self. Or at least all those realizations are within reach of a positive which has gotten into contact with its HSes. Once they make those realizations, the possibilities for collaboration and exploration start becoming quite large.
A negative would see few if any divisions at all, or likely view itself as being its own highest self incarnated. (Which it kinda is.) They probably wouldn't even question where the voices of advice were coming from, seeing them merely as a subset of self, and wouldn't have the slightest interest in the teach\learning systems. They'd probably find the idea fairly absurd. This intense focus on self brings a certain magnification of willpower. But it comes at the expense of both the collaborative possibilities for broadening one's horizons, and the positive feedback loop induced by mutual deliberate teach\learning.
They're two paths to the same end, but I'd say the processes are still fairly distinct.
