Will this 'shock therapy' accelerate Enlightenment?

The stuff on the Internet has only fragmented descriptions and without references.

The Qliphoth are said to be 'shells', outdated 'excesses' of the Sephiroth that have lost their purpose and use in the current moment. But in the long run, if you were to add up all of the outdated, old stuff, wouldn't you get the new stuff? Or what I mean is, if the Qliphoth are just considered to be 'old' and 'husks' RELATIVE to the moment, then if you were to add up all of the past moments, would that make the future? And in the entire scheme of things, wouldn't the 'past,' 'present' and 'future' be identical?

I've been wondering for a while about the relative number of people in each grade, typically speaking. Is there a usual proportion?

Literally, yes, but not the second part? What about accelerating cell replacement?

@Jim Eshelman said

"
It takes about three years for a preponderance of cells in the human body to replace themselves. One consequence of this is that it takes about 3 to 3 1/2 years of persistent, consistent application to a line of thought and practice for the body to reshape itself to a form consistent with a particular 'message.' Different systems make use of this in different ways. For example, in Temple of Thelema this is the minimum time period one can move from first initiation through a series of subsequence degrees to the Second Order (though few choose to do it in so quick a time). In O.T.O., taken at its best, one can bet to III° in about the same time, and this is a very significant threshold."

This is a little off-topic, but you mean that literally, right? That the majority of the cells in a body have to be replaced while thinking and practicing a certain way to really advance? So, in theory, if science figures out a way to accelerate the cell replacement process or through some herbs, there is a possibility of doing this sooner.
