While consciousness is still at the level of separation effects will be little.

The only problem here is that the phrase "at the level of separation" encompasses a vast spectrum of consciousness levels (and sub-levels and concurrent levels and hybrid levels, etc.). In other words, it's not that simple.

Along with this there is a growing sense of integrity, and rather than manipulating for selfish aims we become naturally more altruistic.
This is part of spiritual awakening.

Basically the crux of what you're saying is that spiritual awareness and the capacity to manifest spiritual awareness develop concurrently, which again isn't necessarily the case. One can have great capacity to manifest but the quality of what they manifest can be very low, and of course vice versa. It is only when we are able to achieve a total union between form and formless that we find the type of balance between the spiritual and the material that you allude to above.
