Generally however cough and cold indicates problem in expression or stifled expression.

Animal is driven by vital nature whereas man makes choices …

During meditation, I observe how bodily senses and the vital nature constantly stir restless activity, while true guidance emerges only as an inner voice heard in deep silence. 🧘🌸[…]

As to inner experiences there are plenty, and as you said, mixed true and false. As to the senses, yes it is quite possible to see with the other organs or hear with organs other than the ears.
