We live in this space, but actually in another parallel timeline there is another me.

However we are over here, that other me in the other timeline is the same.

Suppose the other-timeline me is suffering in hell — then this-world me is the same, also suffering.

If the other-timeline me has already attained a very high-level energy dharmakāya through practice, then when I die, I attain dharmakāya.

If the other-timeline me is suffering in hell, then when I die, I fall into hell.

This principle is the same as our Taiwanese folk principle of viewing the Yuan-Chen Palace (natal palace):

Someone in good shape with good merit — the Yuan-Chen Palace appears more dignified and splendid.

Someone in poor shape with poor merit — the Yuan-Chen Palace in the other world where they reside appears in no such good state.

So in the phenomenal we must keep learning, raise our wisdom and spiritual nature.We must not let the me on the other side fall into the three evil paths!

"The parallel timeline is the future" — add "is the future."

If you cling to this present life's seven emotions and six desires, then the future falls into equivalent saṃsāra.We will be pulled back into saṃsāra by this life's attachments.
