Yes, I have experienced similar. The substance that shall not be mentioned, took me there multiple times.
This thread has really got me thinking. The proposition from the OP, is a intensely sobering thought. I guess I always held the hope that we’d get some type of break — you know ‘Heaven’, between lives. The thought of being ‘slapped’ right back into birth, in another life, immediately with no reprieve — is relentlessly terrifying.

Someday I'll take the plunge but not until I'm ready to either rise up or repeat.
And that's all I'll say about that!

Rise up or repeat ...
How can one be certain *what would happen ? Potentially. Is it just a feeling ? A knowing that it'll all end ? This wheel represents that for you ? An ending of sorts ?
You are clearly being shown this wheel for a reason. Perhaps (and I do not know) rebirth in this life ?
I do not mean any offense. I am only curious.

Because that's what life is all about. We either rise up to our highest potential or we repeat the process.

When I experienced similar, I could only describe it as the 'reality machine'. It is what inspired the Dharmachakra in ancient Vedic/Hindhu society. It is has always been synonymous with time. Search for Salvia Zipper, or Salvia Wheel for other peoples accounts of this experience.

Most NDEs offer three interpretations: hallucinations of a brain in extremis, hoax, or consciousness outside this world.
This account sidesteps the first, because the writer did not emerge from a coma in hospital. The whole experience had to take place in seconds at most. Could extreme but quickly passing mental stress create such hallucinations? It seems unlikely.
