Yes! Humans are (essentially) the same as us, but have the capability to become more. Just as many beliefs in the real world allow for us earthly humans to become more, whether through Buddhists enlightenment, Christian assent to heaven, or whatever. In Glorantha these changes are just more accepted and more visible than in our world.
