Jerry, can you please be more specific about the subject you write.?
I believe that I understand your terms, but my understanding is different
from what your words lead to. It is what you write about the Individuality
that makes me write this letter.

I assume that you are talking about a lesser Manvantara. Is that so.?

Your presented idea:
>>>.."The ego or personality only lasts for one lifetime."

By my doctrine, I would present the idea thus:
The personality,- the lesser ego, has a lasting life,- after uniting with the
Higher Ego, the Inner Thinker,- the Soul Man.  Thus the best in man, the
identity from every incarnation, remains in the Soul. What is unfit for
the evolution of the Soul, does not reach the Soul Man. Man discards of what
is unfit by the filtering process called death; -  in this world and the
higher worlds. What is fit for the progress of the Soul Man, becomes a part
of the consciousness of the Soul Man, the Inner Thinker.

No lesser ego, that has united with the Ego,- the Soul,- is lost.
Thus we will not reincarnate,- but remain within.
We will remain within the Soul and try to guide the next person.

About words:
The words: Soul Man, Inner Thinker, Higher Ego, Ego, Higher Self,- have
identical meaning in my mind:

The word Soul has a different meaning, as the word also includes the
consciousness of the Soul Angel.

Your presented idea:
>>>..."The Ego or Individuality only lasts for one manvantara." ...

My first impression from your sentence is that you are writing your mind in a
hurry and with few words, and thus limiting your idea. But also, it may be
possible that you literally mean exactly what the text says. Therefore, I am
asking you to comment on this.

By my doctrine my understanding is:
A ego,- a person that has united with the Higher Self,- and a Ego, a Soul Man
is never lost. Individuality of the Soul is never lost. But eventually unites
with the Higher Life, the Flame of Life, The Spirit.  Thus the Spirits evolve
with the Logos.

If an Ego can not achieve its planned destiny in one Manvantara, it will
have an other opportunity in another Manvantara.  A Manvantara in evolution,
begins with individualizing bud-Egos, and Egos of different degrees from
earlier periods.  A Spirit has within its life and experience, - in its thread
of Individuality, - a countless number of graduated Souls from former
Kalpas. All of us are Adepts in the Spirit and some groups are still older and
therefore more advanced as Life Flames. Therefore some of those bud-Egos,
are Egos of Spirits who have been Choans or Buddhas in past Kalpas.
The Individuality. - The "I" is never lost, it is eternal.
