I dunno...Red-pilling/saving people is kind of analogous to magnets. State1: repelling each other, State2(desired): they flip polarity to be attracted -> join together with singular polarity.

With Free Will involved there must be time for them to flip themselves...come in too hot and you'll push 'em further away.

Could be more explanatory than analogy, too. Upside-down clown world, up-side down pentagrams, a lot of this seems rooted in polarity.
