Awakening the Memory of the Soul

216 mystical poems inspired by the 72 names of YHVH

By Michelle van Rensburg

This is a deeply moving personal book that flows like Living Water to awaken and restore anyone who is thirsty for more. Michelle weaves her creative expressions of poetry with the Sacred Living Letters of Hebrew to create an internal stirring for divine union with YHVH. I highly recommend this book to anyone whose life intent is to be closer to THE LORD.

Taking us back to remembering who we truly are and how incredibly amazing He is! Take your time, take the moments to be pulled in, and stay there a while.

It is a great pleasure and honor to be able to lift someone up in the endeavors of writing on such a marvelous topic. Michelle has created a portal into each of Yahweh’s names to engage in His heart and beyond. Her writing truly is poetic and lovely. The flow of each word takes you to new revelations with each name of Yahweh. I have not been a fan of poetry until now. But, she has, for me, set the bar high!

Encircling these poems is a delicate shimmer that reminds me of “The Tempest” – like a golden haze -and through that golden haze emerges a personal voice that is strong and clear, uttering truths never heard before. I have known Michelle, the beautiful author of this anthology, for several years- – yet I was astonished to encounter facets of her heart in an even deeper and sweeter way as I read it! At the same time, it stirred a hunger in me for dimensions of YHVH that I long to remember fully. Like a miraculous catch of fish, these poems awaken spontaneous awe at the beauty and bounty of our Creator.

INTRODUCTION
These beautiful frequencies have been referred to as 72 bridges of mercy: seeds of consciousness and a living realm of miracles. As we connect to each name, we connect to our soul’s memory -remembering our true essence and our true selves down to the cellular level.

As we face ourselves in the darkness, we allow the names to wash over and remould us, yet all the time, knowing that even as we are being purified, it is not us but the Light of the Creator doing it.

Each name begins with a haiku – 5-7-5, 17 syllable short poem and ends with a tanka -5-7-5- 7-7 syllable poem. There is also a free verse poem with the occasional sonnet and ode for each name. There is a generic meaning next to each name for guidance, and the English spelling is below the name, which is scanned from right to left.

I have followed the guidance of the Hebrew months and Zodiac according to the Book of Formation and the Zohar and various sages. This has aided in giving the haiku and tankas a seasonal feel. There are also clues from the gematria and the angel names in some of the poems.

The poems in this book result from many hours of pondering and gazing at the Names, which are ancient yet speak afresh every day. May you experience the Light and Colour of the Creator and the power of the Love of the One that holds everything together as you read this book.
