As a spirtual person I have no problem dealing with a parallel universe. However, I must not have the brain to understand why this parallel universe would have a “me” in it.

"I must not have the brain to understand why this parallel universe would have a “me” in it"

It all depends upon what assumptions are used and whether we are talking about a limited number of parallel worlds, or a truly infinite number (in which case every possible permutation of "me" and the possible cause-and-effect sequences that could lead to "me" living or dying, succeeding or failing, etc. in every possible circumstance would exist). The original article talked of "me" either living or dying in a particular auto accident etc. but there have to be an awful lot of parallel worlds to take account of every possible variation on every person's experiences, actions (and omissions), not to mention the billions of other people and all their experiences, acts and omissions, not to mention the natural variations in cause-and-effect that go so far beyond trillions that I don't know what such numbers would be called short of infinity.
