I think spiritual knowledge, when pure enough, adds to a kind of inner connection within people where a spark can be ignited. For others, it doesn't "do" much of anything. In those where it can make a difference, it can drastically change the meaning and orientation towards life. The rest depends on further, individual choices.
I think spirituality is mostly about what people bring with them to the world, and how that manifests, and perhaps ends up changing. The barrier between that and physical life can lessen, or thicken, with a variety of developments. Spiritual knowledge is like an enabling factor, but just like catalyst, all it does is make it easier for some stuff to happen.
A main feature of the Ra material is how it recommends a balanced approach and avoids giving people many hard and fast rules. But people are often drawn, by whatever individual biases they have, to come up with hard and fast rules and focus in some narrow way in order to "advance", perhaps painting themselves into corners in the process. I think no amount of "divine assistance" would be able to change this basic feature of human psychology. I.e., humanity simply is the way it is.
