A pigeon flew through a window.

The glass broke. The pigeon broke its neck.

A friend sent Damaris Nightingale a photograph and asked, “What do you think this means?”

Damaris’s first instinct was simple: bad omen.

But her friend’s mother, a woman deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban Santería, saw something entirely different.

“No,” she said. “This is a good omen. It is a pigeon flying.”

Damaris thought, But it’s grey.

Forty-eight hours later, the meaning of that photograph became impossible to dismiss, and impossible to explain.

This article expands on Episode 6 of My Many Selves with Damaris Nightingale, an episode about signs and intuition, consciousness, spiritual signs, discernment, and the many ways human beings come to know something before they can explain it.

You can listen to the podcast and explore upcoming activities at mymanyselves.com.

Key takeaways

  • Intuition can be understood as a form of immediate knowing, but it should not be followed blindly.

  • Skepticism protects you from deception; curiosity keeps you available to discovery; discernment helps you decide what belongs.

  • Science is one powerful way of knowing, but it is not the only language through which human beings experience reality.

  • Scent is a natural companion to instinct, memory, ritual, and reflection because olfactory signals have unusually direct pathways into areas associated with emotion and memory.

  • Rosemary has centuries of traditional associations with remembrance, loyalty, protection, and clarity. These are cultural meanings, not promises of an effect.

  • A meaningful sign is not automatically an instruction. The wise response is to stay open, gather context, and choose carefully.

The Pigeon, the Photograph, and the Question Nobody Could Answer

The friend who sent the photograph called Damaris again two days later.

She was coming to South Florida to visit. She would be bringing her daughter, her mother, and another friend from Tampa.

At the last moment, the friend from Tampa decided not to come.

Damaris was in meetings when the phone rang. During a break, she answered and heard the voice of a Florida Highway Patrol officer.

There had been an accident.

The friend’s mother had gone out through the car window, breaking the glass.

Damaris asked the patrolman how the woman looked and what position she was in.

He told her she was lying face up, her neck broken, like the pigeon.

Damaris does not claim to know what the pigeon meant. She does not offer the story as proof of prophecy, fate, or anything else.

She is simply describing what occurred.

That distinction matters.

There is a particular kind of discomfort that arrives when two events seem to mirror one another so precisely that ordinary language feels too small. You want someone to tell you what it means. You want certainty. You want a clean answer that will let you put the experience away.

But sometimes the honest answer is:

I cannot explain this. I can only tell you what happened.

That is where discernment begins.

What Is the Meaning of Intuition?

The phrase intuition meaning is often reduced to “a gut feeling,” but the experience can be more layered than that.

Intuition may arrive as:

  • A sudden knowing without a visible chain of reasoning

  • A strong pull toward one choice

  • A quiet sense that something deserves attention

  • A dream, image, phrase, or memory that returns repeatedly

  • A bodily response that appears before the conscious mind has formed an opinion

  • A pattern you recognize before you can describe how you recognized it

Intuition does not always feel mystical. Sometimes it is the result of years of experience, observation, and pattern recognition moving faster than language.

A musician hears a note that does not belong.

A mother notices a change in her child’s voice.

An artist sees the completed image before the first line is drawn.

A scientist senses that an unusual result is not an error but an invitation to look again.

In each case, the person may say, “I just knew.”

That does not mean every inner impression is accurate. It means that human beings have more than one route through which information, insight, and meaning can arrive.

Science Is One Way of Knowing, Not the Only Way

Damaris is clear that science is one of humanity’s great ways of knowing.

Science creates structure. It makes observations repeatable. It builds systems that can be tested, challenged, improved, and shared.

We could not fly airplanes, build bridges, communicate across oceans, or explore distant planets without scientific knowledge.

But science did not create electricity.

Electricity existed before humanity had a theory for it.

Gravity existed before we had language for falling.

Science explains what is. It organizes what we observe. It gives us a way to reproduce and use what we discover.

That is different from saying science is the only possible form of knowledge.

Mystics, Sufis, religious figures, artists, musicians, and scientists themselves have often described receiving an insight before they could prove it.

The knowing arrived first.

The method came afterward.

The discipline of science then asked the necessary questions:

  • Can this be observed again?

  • Can the result be tested?

  • Can the process be described?

  • What else could explain it?

  • What evidence would change our minds?

That is the difference between a scientific mind and a closed mind.

A closed mind works from conclusions.

A scientific mind works toward them.

Skepticism, Curiosity, and Discernment

Damaris expresses the central principle beautifully:

“Skeptical thinking is good as far as it doesn’t blind you from seeing. Skepticism is also needed so that you’re not gullible or deceived. Curiosity opens the door, but discernment tells you what to let in.”

These three qualities are not enemies. They are companions.

ApproachWhat it offersWhat happens when it becomes extremeSkepticismProtection from deception, exaggeration, and wishful thinkingYou dismiss everything unfamiliar before examining itCuriosityOpenness, wonder, questioning, and discoveryYou accept every story simply because it fascinates youDiscernmentContext, reflection, boundaries, and wise choiceIt requires patience instead of instant certainty

A sign is not automatically an instruction.

A dream is not automatically a command.

A strong feeling is not automatically a fact.

The question is not only, “What did I sense?”

The deeper questions are:

  • What else was happening?

  • What assumptions am I bringing?

  • Is this impression consistent over time?

  • Does it arise from fear, desire, memory, or observation?

  • What would I need to verify before acting?

  • What choice protects my integrity?

Curiosity opens the door.

Discernment decides whether the visitor belongs inside.

Consciousness May Be Larger Than What We Can Describe

What is consciousness?

Damaris does not claim to have the final answer.

She knows only that consciousness seems to be more than what we perceive through five senses, and more than what we can currently describe with scientific language.

Consciousness includes experience.

It includes memory, imagination, attention, dreams, sensation, meaning, and the lives we have already lived.

It also includes the mysterious fact that something is happening inside us at all: that we are here, perceiving, wondering, remembering, choosing, and asking questions about the nature of reality.

Dr. Tara Swart, a neuroscientist and author of a book about signs, has spoken publicly, including on The Diary of a CEO, about opening her mind to possibilities of knowing that she did not always approach from an established framework. She has also spoken about feeling able to communicate with her late husband.

Damaris is not presenting Tara’s experience as something you must accept or debate.

The point is openness.

A person can be rigorous and still curious. A scientist can respect evidence and remain willing to explore what has not yet been established. Wonder does not have to cancel intelligence.

In fact, wonder may be one of intelligence’s oldest companions.

The Same Source: A Scene from A Beautiful Mind

The film A Beautiful Mind, based on the life of Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash, includes a striking exchange.

How could a mind capable of such extraordinary mathematical brilliance also hold experiences that other people could not see?

His answer, as presented in the film, is disarmingly simple:

Because those experiences came from the same source as his discoveries.

The point is not to romanticize every inner experience. Nor is it to say that every perception should be trusted.

The point is that the human mind is not always tidy.

Brilliance and uncertainty can exist in the same person. Logic and mystery can occupy the same room. A person may hold a precise analytical self, an emotional self, a spiritual self, a sensual self, a fearful self, and a childlike self. All within one consciousness.

Which self is speaking?

Which self is interpreting the sign?

Which self already carries a bias?

The Story Continues: Rosemary Verbenone at the Airport

After hearing about the accident, Damaris gathered herself, arranged a flight, and called a car.

She was going through a difficult period in her own life at the time, and the journey ahead felt daunting. She would need to travel to Naples and manage a rental car once she arrived.

As she packed, she asked herself which essential oil to bring.

Damaris always travels with essential oils. Her hand went to a beautiful rosemary verbenone.

“This is the one,” she thought.

As she placed it in her bag, some spilled onto her scarf. Damaris tends to travel with a scarf, and now the fabric carried the green, vivid scent of rosemary.

At the airport, the doors of the small aircraft had already closed. Damaris explained the situation. The details were communicated to the pilot, and he allowed her to board.

During the flight, several people commented on the beautiful scent.

At the rental car desk, the woman behind the counter said, “Oh my God, this is so wonderful.”

The rosemary was still in Damaris’s bag.

She knew this was the scent that had to accompany her on the trip.

Why?

She did not know.

She was following instinct, intuition, gut feeling. Whatever name you choose.

Why Scent Belongs in a Conversation About Intuition

Citrus, rose, lavender, herbs, woods and resins arranged as botanical fragrance ingredients

Scent reaches you before language does.

You can explain a fragrance with words (green, resinous, floral, woody, citrus) but the first experience arrives as sensation.

This is part of why scent and memory are so closely connected.

Olfactory signals have unusually direct pathways into areas associated with emotion and memory, including the amygdala and hippocampus. That does not make scent supernatural. It helps explain why an aroma can seem to arrive before reasoning, carrying a memory, impression, or atmosphere with it.

Researchers often refer to odor-evoked autobiographical memory as the Proust phenomenon. Scent-triggered memories may feel older, more vivid, more emotionally charged, and more distant than memories prompted by words or images.

One summary uses the acronym LOVER:

  • L, Limbic: closely connected with emotional processing

  • O, Old: often linked to earlier memories

  • V, Vivid: experienced with unusual sensory detail

  • E, Emotional: carrying a strong feeling tone

  • R, Remote: reaching into memories from long ago

For readers who want to explore the research literature, PubMed’s indexed studies on odor-evoked autobiographical memory are a useful starting point.

Rosemary has its own long symbolic life. Across traditions, it has been associated with remembrance, loyalty, ceremony, protection, and clarity. It has appeared in funeral customs, religious rituals, wedding traditions, holiday strewing, and acts of honoring.

Those are cultural and folkloric associations, not promises about what rosemary will do.

A rosemary essential oil perfume or ritual can become meaningful because of what it represents to you, what memories gather around it, and how intentionally you use it.

At the Hospital: The Stranger at the Door

Damaris drove to the hospital.

Her friend was standing outside. She did not even remember that Damaris had said she was coming.

The little girl was in a wheelchair with her arm bandaged. The discharge papers said she would need to see an orthopaedic doctor and that her arm might have developmental complications.

The mother was overwhelmed with concern for her daughter.

The child still had glass and splinters in her head. She, too, had gone out through the car.

Damaris could not understand how they were being released in that state.

She began driving toward the hotel she had booked, but the little girl was crying inconsolably. Damaris felt increasingly unsettled, so she pulled into a different hotel.

A gentleman stood near the front door, relaxing.

He saw Damaris, her friend, and the little girl. He seemed to understand that something serious had happened.

He walked toward them and said:

“Good afternoon. I am a Southern gentleman, and my mother always taught me to help ladies.”

Damaris pulled him aside and explained the situation.

He replied:

“Oh, I’m here for a convention. This is great: I am an orthopaedic surgeon for children.”

He accompanied them to the room, removed the bandages and sling placed on the child’s hand, sent them to a nearby pharmacy for supplies, and repositioned everything differently.

To this day, the child has no continuing problem with that arm. Damaris tried to find the man the following day but could not.

She remains grateful for the stranger who appeared at precisely the moment they needed another pair of knowledgeable hands.

Was it coincidence?

Was it timing?

Was it something more?

Damaris does not claim to know.

She describes him as an angelic presence in the story because that is how the encounter felt to her.

The Eleven-Dollar Urn

There were funeral arrangements to make.

Cremation was the practical choice. On the way to collect her friend, another male friend called and asked where Damaris was.

When he heard what had happened, he said, “I’m on my way.”

He arrived early the next morning and became their driver, allowing Damaris to remain present with her friend and the child.

At the mortuary, they discussed cremation and how to transport the ashes. The mortician explained that they would need an urn, likely costing around three hundred dollars.

Money was tight.

Damaris said, “Let’s do this.”

She asked their volunteer driver to take them to Ross. In the section with ornaments, they found a beautiful urn for eleven dollars.

They hurried back to the mortuary.

The mortician looked at it and asked, “Where did you get this beautiful urn?”

“At Ross,” Damaris replied.

He asked again.

Then again.

He could not believe the beauty of the urn, or the price.

That was the urn they used.

One person may call it luck. Another may call it synchronicity. Another may call it nothing more than a fortunate sequence of events.

The label matters less than the question the story leaves behind:

How much of life do we miss because we refuse to notice what does not fit our existing explanation?

The Rosemary Ritual and the Mystery That Remained

That night, after the funeral arrangements, the little girl began to cry.

Then she started speaking as if she were her grandmother, repeating things the grandmother had said.

At first, Damaris told herself that children repeat what they have heard.

But the grandmother had been blind.

The little girl began saying, “I can’t see. I can’t see. Help me, I can’t see,” speaking in the grandmother’s manner.

Damaris was startled. The child’s mother was startled too.

Then Damaris remembered the rosemary.

She took it from her bag and sprinkled some over the child, almost as if spreading holy water.

The child immediately became quiet.

Damaris does not claim to explain that moment.

She does not claim that rosemary caused anything to happen.

She is describing a lived experience inside a story that remains mysterious.

For the next year, the child’s mother used rosemary whenever similar episodes appeared. They happened less frequently and eventually stopped. The mother continued the rosemary ritual.

That was many years ago. The child, now a young woman, has never displayed those behaviors again.

Life contains mysteries we do not understand.

The honest response is not to turn mystery into a promise. It is to hold the story carefully.

Why People Stay Silent About Unexplainable Experiences

Many people have experienced something they could not explain and then decided never to speak about it.

They feared being called foolish.

A clown.

A quack.

Unintelligent.

Unstable.

If you are a professional person (a scientist, physician, professor, artist, business owner, or public figure) the fear can become even sharper. You may worry that one unusual story will erase years of credibility.

But ridicule is not evidence.

And certainty is not always intelligence.

There are stories from mystics, Sufis, Christians, and Buddhists about bilocation, being in two places at once, and about rapid walking or appearing in a distant place when ordinary transportation would have made it impossible.

Some stories may be symbolic. Some may have been embellished. Some may describe experiences we do not yet understand.

The point is not to accept them automatically.

The point is to acknowledge that human history is filled with reports, coincidences, discoveries, and experiences that once sat outside the accepted frame.

Experiments exploring quantum teleportation have also shown that nature can behave in ways that sound impossible when translated into ordinary language.

That does not make every extraordinary story true.

It does mean that “I cannot currently explain this” is not the same sentence as “this cannot exist.”

Galileo insisted that the Earth moved around the sun when the dominant view said otherwise. He was called a heretic and imprisoned, and he eventually recanted.

What matters is not that every unconventional belief is correct.

What matters is the courage to remain available to a larger question.

The Many Selves: Who Is Speaking Within You?

This is

Woman looking into mirrors showing different versions of herself including professional, expressive and regal identities

the thread running through My Many Selves.

Which self is speaking?

The analytical self?

The mother?

The child?

The lover?

The spiritual seeker?

The ambitious self?

The frightened self?

The part that has studied the subject for years?

The part that wants the sign to mean something?

The part that wants nothing to mean anything at all?

Each inner self carries its own history and bias.

Your emotional self may read an event differently from your analytical self. Your child self may interpret a symbol through old memories. Your professional self may reject something your intuitive self wants to examine.

The work is not to silence one self and crown another.

The work is to bring your many selves into one orchestra under one conductor.

Otherwise, each instrument plays in a different direction. One self makes a decision, another sabotages it, another criticizes it, and another quietly mourns the life you never allowed yourself to choose.

Discernment is one way of letting the orchestra listen to itself.

Scents for Listening Inward: The Scented Potions Collection

Citrus, mint, florals, woods and resins arranged in three botanical fragrance groups

Scent cannot decide what a sign means for you.

A perfume elixir cannot replace reflection, evidence, conversation, or qualified guidance when an important decision is involved.

But a scent ritual may give you a small, sensory moment in which to pause, notice, and choose your next step with intention.

The products below are cosmetic and wellness offerings designed around aromatic profiles, symbolic intentions, and personal ritual.

A Simple Discernment Ritual for Signs and Intuition

Woman sitting by a sunset window with a journal and warm drink during a quiet reflection practice

When something feels meaningful, do not rush to crown it as truth or dismiss it as nonsense.

Try this:

1. Name what happened

Write only the observable facts.

What did you see, hear, smell, dream, or experience?

2. Name the interpretation

What meaning did your mind attach to it?

Keep the event and the story separate.

3. Notice who is speaking

Is this your analytical self? Your fearful self? Your hopeful self? Your experienced self? Your child self?

4. Look for context

What else was happening around the event?

Were you tired, grieving, excited, afraid, or seeking confirmation?

5. Wait when possible

A true question can survive a night of reflection.

You do not have to act at the speed of your first impression.

6. Verify what can be verified

If a decision involves another person’s safety, money, health, or future, gather information and consult appropriate people.

Discernment is not the enemy of mystery.

It is how you honor mystery without surrendering your judgment.

A Gentle Care Note

Scented Potions products are cosmetic and wellness products. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. When a decision concerns your health or safety, discernment includes consulting a qualified professional. Use products only as directed, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Final Invitation: Stay Open, Stay Awake

The invitation is not to accept every sign.

It is not to run toward every mystery.

It is not to abandon evidence, reason, or responsibility.

The invitation is to explore the things you cannot explain without immediately mocking them, or worshipping them.

Keep the door open.

Keep your questions alive.

Let skepticism protect you from deception.

Let curiosity keep you available to discovery.

Let discernment decide what enters your life.

And when one of your many selves speaks, listen long enough to ask who it is, what it knows, and what it may be carrying.

Perhaps consciousness is larger than we understand.

Perhaps there are more ways of knowing than we have words for.

Perhaps the grey pigeon was only a pigeon.

Perhaps it was also a sign.

Life has mysteries we do not understand.

You do not have to solve every mystery to meet it with intelligence, humility, and wonder.

FAQ: Signs, Intuition, Discernment, and Scent

What is the difference between intuition and a sign?

Intuition is an inner experience of knowing, sensing, or recognizing something before you can fully explain it. A sign is usually an external event, symbol, pattern, or coincidence that feels personally meaningful. Neither should be treated as automatically true or automatically instructive. Discernment helps you reflect on both.

How can I trust my intuition without becoming gullible?

Treat intuition as information to examine rather than an order to obey. Write down what happened, separate facts from interpretation, check for fear or wishful thinking, look for patterns over time, and verify what can be verified.

What are spiritual signs?

Spiritual signs are events, symbols, dreams, patterns, or coincidences that a person experiences as meaningful within a spiritual or philosophical framework. Their meaning is personal and cannot be guaranteed from the outside. Stay open while keeping your judgment intact.

What does discernment mean in spirituality?

Discernment in spirituality means carefully evaluating an impression, experience, or sign before deciding what it means or what action to take. It includes reflection, context, humility, observation, and the willingness to seek qualified guidance when appropriate.

Is intuition a real way of knowing?

Intuition is a recognized human experience of immediate insight that may arise from pattern recognition, memory, experience, sensory cues, or personal meaning. Whether an intuitive impression is accurate depends on the situation. Intuition can be considered alongside evidence rather than used as a replacement for it.

How does scent connect to intuition and memory?

Scent has unusually direct pathways into brain regions associated with emotion and memory. This helps explain why an aroma can bring forward an old memory or emotional impression before you have found words for it. This relationship between scent and memory is often called the Proust phenomenon.

Why is rosemary associated with remembrance?

Rosemary has a long history in folklore, ceremony, funeral customs, religious traditions, weddings, and acts of honoring. Because of these uses, it has become traditionally associated with remembrance, loyalty, clarity, and protection. These are cultural meanings, not promises of an effect.

Can a natural perfume elixir help me know what decision to make?

A natural perfume elixir cannot make a decision for you. It may become a meaningful sensory cue for pausing, journaling, reflecting, or marking an intention. The decision still belongs to you and may require facts, conversation, and professional guidance.

What Scented Potions product is best for an intuition ritual?

Clear Mind, also known as the Mental IQ Mood Shifter Inhaler, is the most natural starting point for this article because it includes rosemary, basil, sage, mandarin, lavender, rose, geranium, patchouli, spikenard, and labdanum. It can be used as a personal scent cue for reflection and intentional pauses.

Are essential oil perfumes the same as spiritual tools?

Essential oil perfumes are fragrances made with aromatic botanical materials. A person may include one in spiritual self-care, meditation, journaling, or personal ritual, but the meaning comes from the individual’s intention and relationship with the scent. No fragrance should be treated as a guarantee of spiritual knowledge or protection.
