Cass,

Perhaps we are confusing the Astral monad or lower self with the Spiritual 
monad or higher self? HPB makes it very clear that the spiritual monad 
reincarnates as a new lower self on the same globe that it made all its previous 
karma. If not, why would HPB teach that the average cycle of reincarnation is 
1500 years -- in a new culture or civilization, perhaps, but not on a new 
globe, apparently? It's obvious that the Astral monad dies eventually just like 
its physical counterpart. The spiritual monad, however, never leaves its 
present cycle of necessity -- except when the cycle ends, and a new cycle begins.  
This, of course, refers to yuga, manvantara, as well as global cycles.
