Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy 🇨🇦‬

Words create conceptual boundaries which help us share our understanding about the world we live in. This helps us navigate our surroundings and survive. #zen #zenmaster #dharma #buddhism #mind #words #concepts #conceptualthinking #philosophy #spirituality https://youtube.com/shorts/y-OtnItSgUE
