Depends how much you're reading in to it and how you are comparing, as well as which non-dual teachings as there are many. I am most familiar with Taoism and Tibetan Dzogchen, as well as some understanding of the nature of Shiva whom I believe represents non-dual consciousness.
That being said, if I am looking at philosophy only then the similarities ultimate are precise. Despite all other surrounding concepts these teachings approach Unity in their own way. I think context of the times is important. If you took out the scientific language of the Ra Material and replaced them with deities, poetry and mythology I think you would find it to be no different than other ancient Mystery teachings.
Consider that first and foremost Ra professes to express to the best of their ability the Law of One. They also express that this one is clad in Mystery. They are thus teachers of the Great Mystery and so are a modern attempt to teach what has been taught by all Mystery Schools and Masters who have touched non-duality.
What is key to realize, in my mind, is to see that it is just a contemporary context. I cannot imagine that when Ra made contact with Akhenaten that they made use of English or discussed the planet Venus scientifically, perhaps, but that is likely 'transient' information in their opinion.
I think, personally, I find it best to read everything and then digest the words in to my own content. All of the non-dual teachings and systems have taught me that I am the Creator. So I know that no system will ever be 'my' system except the one that exists within me. That has been a most valuable teaching the Ra Material has offered.
