I like what you've added to the stub. It's well written. I think if you added the outright statement the Gnosis article makes as to why he believes the Ra material notable, it would clearly and strongly establish the Ra material's notability in it's field - from the Gnosis article: "Purely home-grown Western maps of the inner realms are a bit harder to come by....Be that as it may, one of the most intriguing systems for considering the inner planes to appear in recent times comes from a rather unexpected source: the Ra Material...."
To me, that's the author's statement as to why he finds the Ra material notable. For Mr. Kinnay, the Gnosis editor and author, the Ra material is notable because it's a rare and intriguing home-grown western map of the inner realms. That's why he discusses and analyzes the material. But I like how you get into his analysis, as it shows his analytic and critical perspective, which helps if people question the source because they are too busy/lazy to understand the magazine's own reliability for analysis of the field.
Edit: Also, if I was the sort of person interested in inner planes, as I read that statement from Gnosis, it kind of makes me want to pick up and read "one of the most intriguing systems for considering the inner planes" known as the Ra material. Or in other words, it's what is termed a "hook". And hooks are a good thing, because they get people interested in a subject in a natural way.
Maybe I will sign up for wikipedia to edit myself. Creation sure seems like a lot of fun.
