The separate lil me only wants to escape its apparent beginning/end cycle when that lil me is identified with that cycle itself. 

Become familiar with this cycle now, as this cycle arises and subsides NOW as YOU.?

Dualistic perspective: 1st Law of Thermodynamics - energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy can only be changed from one form to another.

Nondual perspective: One Everything. There is no separate, finite "you".

There is no escape.

Indeed

Wouldn’t be very fun now would it?

Much more enjoyable to be both mortal & immortal at the same time?

Yes, in the sense that you realize that "the wheel" has never existed in the first place. 

Firstly I commend your ability to realize that the cycle of death and rebirth is mostly relevant when its taken metaphorically and not literally. 

Second, the realization will dawn on you when you are able to reside in the Self for a prolonged time.
