I wouldn't sell yourself short. IMO people can and do achieve Ra's state of a "perfectly balanced entity" and even a 6D-level understanding which is beyond positive/negative polarity during a human lifetime. And it's not just for people who spend all day meditating in caves. The teachers named Franklin Merrell-Wolff, Adyashanti (Steven Gray), Gangaji (Merle Roberson), and handful of others are Americans I know of who seem to have reached that state. They were seekers, sure, and it's easy to say they're unusual cases, but really they're just John and Jane Does that viewed such balancing as a possibility and as a result stuck with the path until they attained it.
One of the things Adyashanti (my favorite spiritual teacher) pointed out was that the highest level of awakening is very possible as part of a mostly-normal life, but that it's rare in large part because most people aren't willing to risk being the crazy one who says "well, screw the haters" and refuses to take no for an answer. They go to retreats and study and meditate and whatnot, but they lack that fire and so they get what they're looking for, which isn't a full awakening.
This is NOT to say that there's anything wrong with not accomplishing a true balance in this lifetime or even not looking for it. You can't achieve balance with that view in your head. I just want to warn people away from limiting beliefs, which all too readily become self-fulfilling prophecies.
