Hi Doc,
Thank you very much for your interesting reply.
There are actually two things on which I would like to respond. On the others I agree with you without further comment.

Of course this is silly, as consciousness is beyond right and wrong, and though the earth plane is a place where people of all levels of love interact on an equal footing, and one can make quick spiritual progress, a person's mind can evolve on any plane. There are, therefore multiple routes one could take in a heaven or hell.
I agree that we are not guided by some group of saintly elders to keep reincarnating on earth. From what I have learned from Rulofs books this is certainly not in the hands of any kind of human being whatever level they may have achieved. Reincarnation on earth...
I think it is actually driven by the Divine Being of God self.
There are many laws that are specific for this planet and those things need to be learned for any human being. These things have been created by God and thus the enforcement of such things also lies with God self. Human beings simply don't have the powers, the CONSCIOUS, to handle that.
On the other hand there is a clear structure in the spheres in the afterlife. There are ascending higher spheres and descending lower spheres. Seven of each in total, but these are the main spheres. There are thousands and thousands of subspheres. A sphere is a representation of a conscious.
There is only one way to evolve higher in the spheres in the afterlife: by serving and loving other people, the life of God.
From what I have learned some spirits that have evolved in love and consciousness have taken it upon them to help beings that are not that far themselves. They do have a kind of organized structure and this is aimed towards serving other people. But as said before, such spirits have nothing to say at all about laws of reincarnation. These things go beyond their understanding and they bow their heads for the working and love of God.

I think it is not terrifying at all. I think it is more realistic to think that if you act irresponsible, if you live it up and don't care for anything or anybody, that you should not expect to end up in a sphere of light.
Also, depending on the nature of your past life you don't need to end up in a 'firish' hell.
A very detailed description of the dark spheres has been given in the first book of Jozef Rulof: A View into the Hereafter. This is an introductory book and as such free available in pdf format on the internet. You will find a link to this book in my signature.
So I will not go into discussion of lower spheres and so.
