Non-duality or Advaita

[dumdumdedum]

What do you make of non-duality? Of Advaita, or Neo-Advaita?

I was a major fan of Advaita concepts, especially sunyata from Buddhist philosophy. Now I want to kill myself. Extrapolate from those facts what you will.

There's this mathematical problem that mathematicians can't seem to solve (this is from a book I read some time ago so might not explain it correctly):

What if you have a sum that goes... 1 - 1 + 1 -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 into infinity, what is the outcome of the sum? Is it one or zero?

The answer lies in the middle really, it's both one and zero, which is what non-duality means to me. In terms of life and death you might want to read the thought experiment of Schrödingers cat: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat

Seems yea, I'd say infinity is only a limit and can never actually be reached. There's no number that can come before infinity (infinity-1) and it's like the equation y = 1/x. The equation never actually reaches the X axis or y axis
Even if you kept counting all day everyday and removed death, boredom, etc. You will never actually cease counting at a certain point it would just be an infinitesimal series that's not reached
