The elemental, or spiritual intelligence, of the peppermint plant has properties that can help to awaken the consciousness.
The mantra related with the elemental of the peppermint plant is RAOM GAOM. This mantra is useful to use to recall dreams. Chant the mantra while still in bed, preferably while moving as little as possible. Let the mantra work like dynamite breaking through a wall, opening the way into the subconscious memories.
“Each word is divided into two syllables. One must accentuate the vowel O. These mantras are for the student what dynamite is for the miner. Thus, as the miner opens his way through the bowels of the earth with the aid of dynamite, similarly, the student also opens his way into the memories of his subconsciousness with the aid of these mantras.“
–Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
The angel governing the elemental of the peppermint plant. Samael teaches that this elemental department is related with the three runes AR, TYR, and MAN. Similar to the elemental of the aloe, the peppermint plant spiritual intelligence assists in the process of reincarnation.
For this reason, the mantra RAOM GAOM can also be used in our retrospection practice. At the end of the day, in relaxed and attentive meditation, we pass our consciousness back through our day to review our particular errors, idiosyncrasies, etc.
The retrospection can be for the one day, or further back into our past, to childhood, and even to past lives. The mantra will help to break through into those subconscious memories.
“The elemental department of the peppermint is intimately related with the three runes AR, TYR, and MAN. The first rune AR represents God within man, the divine forces acting within the human being and the sacred altar of life. The second rune TYR represents the divine Trinity, reincarnating itself through the wheel of births and deaths.
The third rune MAN represents the human being. The governing angel of the mint helps us to pass from the darkness into the light. The hierarchies related with the elemental department of the peppermint act by leading the reincarnating souls through the narrow way that arrives to the womb. The divine hierarchies of the peppermint plant synthesize their activities in the three runes IS, RITA, and GIBOR.
IS represents the phallus in which all the power of the sexual force is enclosed. RITA represents the rose that symbolizes divine justice. GIBOR represents the letter “G” of generation.
The activity of great beings is related with the elemental department of the peppermint and is based on these three fundamental letters. The angels who are related with the elemental department of the peppermint wisely direct the entire scientific process of reincarnation, the entire biological process of fetal conception.
The passage that the masculine sperm travels in the narrow fallopian tubes is very similar to the straight and narrow passage that leads from the darkness into the light. In the ancient temples of the mysteries, the neophyte reached the altar of the temple after he passed through a narrow and straight passage that led him from the darkness into the light. The hierarchies related with the peppermint scientifically direct all of the biological processes of the reproduction of the race, according to cosmic justice.
The governing angel of this elemental department of nature wisely leads us through the narrow passage of the temples of the mysteries to the altar of illumination. The peppermint is intimately related with the Akashic records of nature.
The mantras of the peppermint permit us to remember our past reincarnations. These mantras are “Raom Gaom.” These mantras can be vocalized mentally during the retrospection exercises performed in profound meditation, in order to remember our past lives. The mantras Raom Gaom permit us to open the closed records of nature’s memory in order to remember our past reincarnations. This is the elemental magic of the peppermint.“
