Dorothy,

Not according to anything I have seen in the last 40 years of Theosophical 
study. The spiritual component of the human organism is the permanent, 
undying part that endures through this Manvantara. With the sole exception of 
certain sustained incarnational black magic activity, the soul is the 
enduring quality of a particular incarnation and always present and 
available. The fact that given personalities spend huge portions of a 
lifetime outward-turned does disconnect him for the Spiritual self.
In terms of cosmic justice and evolution, that is what Karma and 
Reincarnation is for.
