✦Description
The visit is terminated from the other side: a being announces you cannot stay, it is not your time, you must go back — the signature closing beat of near-death narratives. In NDE corpora this is common (Moody listed 'coming back' among his core elements; 56% of the matched NDE narratives in Michael 2025 involved explicit return). In DMT reports it exists mainly as scattered anecdote: Michael 2025's field sample contained ZERO border/point-of-no-return or send-back events. One of the sharpest documented DMT/NDE divergences.
✦Interpretations
Experiencers who do report it often inherit its NDE meaning — unfinished business, a life returned to on purpose; researchers treat its rarity in DMT versus NDEs as a genuine phenomenological difference between the states, not a rounding error.
✦What the sources say
No DMT participant reported a border/point-of-no-return or send-back; 27%/56% in the NDE comparison set.
'Coming back,' often on instruction that it is not one's time, is a core catalogued NDE element.
The NDE Scale's border/return items anchor the comparison DMT reports are measured against.
Occasional vault reports of entities announcing the visit is over or 'not your time' — anecdotal, not systematic.

Is 'The Send-Back — 'it's not your time'' commonly reported?
Michael 2025: 0% of the DMT field sample reported a point-of-no-return or being sent back, versus 27% (threshold) and 56% (explicit return) in matched NDE narratives. DMT instances survive as community-report anecdotes only.
