What is a Hemorrhage?

If all the people in the world were to lose the total of all of their blood, would the depth of it reach the moon?  If it did, would the moon turn “blood red”?

 

From the Beginning:  Hemorrhage

Bleeding, technically known as hemorrhaging or haemorrhaging (see American and British spelling differences) is the loss of blood or blood escape from the circulatory system.  Bleeding can occur internally, where blood leaks from blood vessels inside the body or externally, either through a natural opening such as the vagina, mouth, nose, ear or anus, or through a break in the skin. The complete loss of blood is referred to as exsanguination,  and desanguination is a massive blood loss. Typically, a healthy person can endure a loss of 10-15% of the total blood volume without serious medical difficulties, and blood donation typically takes 8-10% of the donor’s blood volume…Death from bleeding can generally occur surprisingly quickly.  Cited from Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding

Definition of Hemorrhage

http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=14263

Hemorrhage: Bleeding or the abnormal flow of blood.

…an internal hemorrhage that is invisible or an external hemorrhage that is visible on the outside of the body. Bleeding into the spleen or liver is internal hemorrhage. Bleeding from a cut on the face is an external hemorrhage.

The term “hemorrhagic” comes from the Greek “haima,” blood + rhegnumai,” to break forth = a free and forceful escape of blood.

Hemorrhage and The Revelation Painting

Related to The Revelation Painting-Hemorrhage is tied to three major circumstances which are draining the life-sustaining blood from the fabric of our nation; first and foremost Politics, followed by Religion, and lastly corporate greed and deception.  Those factors influence us as human beings in our everyday lives and interactions with one another.  Therefore weakening our morals, our values and our beliefs.

From childhood we are taught to believe in our leaders, our teachers, our science and legal entities, our icons as role models and business.  Technically it is all business, like a big machine feeding off of the support of its people.  We are feeding this machine its fuel and our children are learning to feed this machine, followed by their children and so on.  What is currently breaking the machine is awareness.

What used to be a black and white, lifeless and impersonal “story” or article in a newspaper in which visualization was left to the imagination is now visual with color and aspects of humanity, and animated (ALIVE) images imprint our brain.  This imprint causes intelligent people to question what is happening when the foundations we were raised upon seem to be crumbling.

What happens to a society when you are a parent try to teach your child to respect the President of the country when the newspaper is open on the table with a comic of a girl under a table with her face pressed in the President’s pants, or the television is blaring “I did not have sexual intercourse…”  In order not to share the TRUTH with your child it would require no interaction with society.

Are you supposed to say:  “Honey, the President did something bad, something that was wrong but for the time being respect him because he is our leader, and the next President won’t do that.  We are all human beings and we have faults.”  True, but the simple fact of the matter is that we all do not represent our country as The President of The United States of America!  This is not only a disgrace but a hemorrhage!  

What do you tell your child Sunday morning when they are afraid to go to church because in a restaurant he heard a family talking about the priest with his hand in some little boy’s pants?  What possible cover story can we give for that!  “Oh honey, that priest was sick, not all priest are like that.”  Then in the evening news the child hears hundreds of priest are pedophiles.  This is a hemorrhage!

Your child comes home from school and says the teacher kissed me on the mouth mom…You think, well…maybe it was an innocent showing of affection, inappropriate but it showed love and not the hate exploding all over the world…you let it go.  A month later a teacher’s face is plastered all over the media that she had sex with her minor students!  Another hemorrhage!

You, now because of your leaders, priests’ and teachers have become the bad guy in your child’s eye.  Why?  Because YOU are a liar!  You have now damaged that child, your child forever.  Respect is lost by your honest effort to play the game.  All adults are liars and freaks and what they do or say can and will change at anytime.  Trust is lost.

Your child’s grades begin to suffer because they become confused.  Respect for our leaders begin to dwindle away, therefore respect for one another because we all become liars and potential violators in a society…The general attitude becomes:  if a President, Priest, or teacher will do something like that you’d better believe you will too!  We as a society begin to bleed-a hemorrhage!

America is changing and changing fast.  We are in the midst of a hemorrhage, we are bleeding and if we bleed long enough we will not recover no matter how hard we try.  The Revelation Painting is one effort to stop the flow of blood, to help society and the world understand that we disapprove and we are not like them-our “leaders” who have fallen from grace.

I want to make it perfectly clear that I AM NOT ANTI-GOVERNMENT, I AM NOT A COMMUNIST, I am an intelligent person, a parent and a member of  a once empathetic society which genuinely cared for one another as some still do.  I am aware of my community, my nation, and the world…it is as close to me as feeling my own heartbeat and the America I used to know.
