40 Lauren Hill - Al Muntaqim (The Avenger)
According to my source the 80th name Al Muntaqim is a powerful balancing force that is completely reliable and uncompromising. It is the embodiment of the principle of reciprocity, of the holy wheel of karma as described in the Dharma traditions. Whatever you put into the universe comes back to you. The force of Al Muntaqim equalises and seeks to create harmony in the universe in ways that may appear tragic and violent from the human perspective.
This name reminds me of a time when I felt quite a bit of injustice. I remember leaving a training programme in Paris and whilst I waited at the airport I was listening to Lauren Hill's Unplugged MTV. I found the lyrics quite soothing towards the flames of injustice I had fuming inside me. I find this name quite comforting. More recently I've tired not to watch any of the political news but something has caught my attention. With Trump's ban of travellers from 7 muslim countries to the USA been overuled by USA judges its good to see this in action. Harmony is a greater force than anyone persons ideas or actions.
I love the whole MTV Unplugged session by Lauren. It makes up for when I spent £20 to go and see her and she came late and looked like a poodle and sang songs none of us ever heard of. We did leave in the end as we were too disappointed. Maybe this again is another act of Al Muntaqim in action lol!
Lyrics "So Much Things To Say"
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yey
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, Why, heh
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'll never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
I'll never forget no way, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
I'll never forget no way, how they turned their back on Paul Bogle
So don't you forget no way...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much things to say
They've got so very many things, to say right now
They've got so much things to say
I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
And don't you fight me down
I'll stand firm, and give Jah all the thanks and praises
I don't expect to be justified, by these laws of men
Though the we can find me guilty, Jah will proove my innocency
Cuz when the rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
Remember that
See when this rain falls, it don't, fall on one man's house top
They've got so much things to say right now
They've got so much, so much things to say
They've got, heh, so much things to say right now
They've got so, so much things to say
But let them keep talking, oh let them keep talking
Cuz non of them walking, oh non of them walking, no
And while they still talking, see I'ma be walking
I'ma be walking, so let them keep talking
Said I never forget no way, how they crucified Jesus Christ
And I, I'll never forget, how they sold Marcus Garvey for rice
Said I, never forget, how they turned their backs on Paul Bogle
So non of you, non of you forget...
Who you are, and where you stand in the struggle
Cuz when this rain, cuz when this rain, rain, rain, rain, rain falls
It don't fall on one man's house, I'm telling you the rain...
I'm telling you the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain don't fall
It don't fall... they...
They've got, they've got, so many very things to say about me
I'm telling you: lie
They, and they, and they will have so many things
They'll have so many things to say about you... to say about you
Cuz they don't know me, know me
They don't know me, oh they don't know me, oh they don't know me
Oh they don't know me well
They, they, they, they, they, they, they don't know my Father
Cuz if they did, if they did... hey ey... theeey... heh..
