Excellent question, should be asked more frequently =)
To understand the nature of the spirit, it's diametrically opposite analog must be also taken into consideration: the body. Both "vehicle" and "shuttle" are descriptive terms indicative of some transportive function: one to move through the space/time illusion and the other to move through the time/space illusion (or more simply put, one "anchors" into SPATIAL locality and fluidity of movement/awareness therein, whilst the other "anchors" into TEMPORAL non-locality and fluidity of movement/awareness therein).
In an universe of diametrical symmetry, opposites must reflect/mirror each other ("as above, so below; as within, so without"), hence: inner VS outer, time/space VS space/time, body VS spirit, 1D VS 7D, red VS violet; physical gravity VS spiritual gravity, beginning VS ending, etc. Everything in between merely represents degrees of increment/lessening along the way (e.g. compare 2D/orange to 6D/indigo, "lower-self" to "higher-self"), with 4D sitting squarely halfway along the way, right in-between space/time and time/space (50/50 ratio, the best of both world, is you will). This is why higher or later densities are more spiritually-polarized and lower or earlier densities are more physically-polarized (and conversely less physical and less spiritual, respectively) with each successive density.
In this sense, 1D/red-ray cannot be any "lesser" than 7D/violet-ray anymore than a beginning/entrance may any "less" than an ending/exit. Similarly, the spirit/shuttle may be appreciated as not being any "greater" than the body/vehicle: their functions being merely complimentary of each other and would have no meaning otherwise.
However, we musn't forget there is another "third" complex at play here: the mind (or what the Greeks called the psyche or soul), which may be seen as the consciousness which is doing the learning/experiencing by reciprocal interaction between space/time (body realm) and time/space (spirit realm), gradually releasing physical gravity for spiritual gravity across its evolutionary journey.
TLDR; body and spirit serve "transportive" functions within their respective spatial and temporal illusory domains.
Perhaps this is why Ra (and Q'uo, et al) never spoke of a Cosmic Spirit, but a Cosmic Mind. Ultimately, it's just semantics (and what terms one may like/identify with most or find more accurate/appropriate), but if the fulcrum of reality is purely spiritual... does that make reality a *shuttle* or what? It would make little sense/logic within this cosmological framework. One thing is certain: there is consciousness, awareness, intelligence... and then there's something we can call physical and something we can call spiritual. Who is drawing this distinction is obviously the mind/consciousness.
What makes the "spiritual" such an attractive prospect is... wait for it! That's right, the 3rd-density veil of forgetting, which effectively "deprived" the embodied, physical entity from its inner, spiritual aspect, thereby creating a thirst or hunger for things of a spiritual nature. Without the veil, however, both physical and spiritual would be appreciated more equally. (In fact, this is why most entities can hardly wait to incarnate again from the vantage point of their spiritual/discarnate state.)
Rhetorical question: if 7 distinct body complexes may be ascertained, would they not correspond to 7 equally distinct mind complexes and 7 different spirit complexes (or at the very least stages/degrees of spiritualization, rather than there just being 1 single spirit complex)? :0
