Bobby Jackson graduated from Salisbury High School in 1992.  He attended Western Nebraska Community College and the University of Minnesota before being selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 23rd pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. As a Golden Gopher, Bobby Jackson led Minnesota to the Final Four, where they lost to the Kentucky Wildcats. He was traded to the Denver Nuggets prior to his rookie season where he played 68 games before moving on to a more familiar place in Minnesota where he donned a Timberwolves jersey for two seasons. He had his best years in Sacramento where he played for the Kings from 2000 to 2005 where he was known as "Action Jackson" and a crowd favorite. A former Sixth Man award winner, Jackson suffered an abdominal strain early in the 2004–05 season that forced him to miss 51 games.

On July 29, 2008, it was reported that Jackson would be traded by the Rockets back to the Sacramento Kings along with Donte Greene, a 2009 first round draft pick and cash consideration in exchange for Ron Artest (now Metta World Peace). The trade was completed on August 14, due to Greene's rookie contract signing on July 14.

Bobby Jackson retired on October 24, 2009.  He later became an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings.

On June 5, 2013, new Kings coach Michael Malone announced that the 2012–13 assistant coaches would not be retained for the 2013–14 season.

On September 9, 2013, Jackson was hired by the Minnesota Timberwolves as a player development coach.

“I was born Mark Block in Boulder City, Nevada on September 20th 1953 at 4:35 a.m. with conscious memory of being aboard a Starship. I knew I was from a more advanced planet and had many conscious memories that I did not want to share with anyone until I was older. My parents moved shortly after my birth to Vista, a small sleepy town in southern California just 7 miles from the ocean where I grew up testing my father’s “Parasails” along with my older brother on the beach. My parents Paul and Arlene Block provided for the most part a pretty normal childhood. My mother was a schoolteacher and my father in addition to designing and inventing the “Parasail” and appearing on the cover of LOOK and LIFE Magazine in the 1950′s, was a professional Stage Hypnotist, pilot and a follower of the famous Channel Edgar Cayce.

When I was a child I began to have many spiritual experiences that are compiled in my book, Prepare For The Landings: Are You Ready! The interesting thing about the book is when I was a young child I had a vision showing me I was going to publish a book much later in life, as well as knowing the title. It would not be published until several years before the events described in the book would actually happen. I finally published it in early 2009 and it does appear that the events described are indeed about to occur right on time. My father knew that Cayce was activated by a hypnotist that Cayce had gone to about a problem he was having. So when I showed signs of being a Channel, my dad began working with me and helped me develop into the Channel that I was destined to become today.

At age 15 I was doing Readings for people up and down the west coast of the US by word of mouth. At first my Readings were much like Edgar Cayce’s, in that they were Karmic in nature. Then in 1979, I was physically beamed aboard for the second time (my first contact occurred at age 6) to one of the Spiritual Hierarchy’s spacecraft known as a Merkabah Lightship. During this visit I was “activated” as a “Direct-Voice Channel for the Spiritual Hierarchy.” From then on I began exclusively doing Readings for the Lightworkers or Star People.

I have also been a guest and interviewed on thousands of radio, TV and newspapers as well as spoken at many Universities, Churches and Centers throughout North America and Great Britain.

Since 1979 I have done thousands of Readings for people all over the world, helping many to achieve a Greater Destiny. Meanwhile assisting Lightworkers help Mother Earth finish up the Planetary Ascension that is now underway and ultimately bring in the Golden Age. I have had the privilege and honor to Channel many Key Members of the Spiritual Hierarchy. Lord Ashtar is a higher inner dimensional being in charge of the Ashtar Command that oversees the Volunteers in Earth embodiment’s Missions. These higher beings come through during your Reading to bring insight into some of your relevant Past Lives of importance now, your present Mission and Purpose, along with Future Opportunities so that you can more consciously take advantage of these opportunities when they come your way.

During the Reading special ‘Higher Light Encodements and positive Cosmic Subliminals”, that are unique to each Light Worker or person are “harmonically interfaced” onto the CD by the Masters. This is designed to open-up the neuro-pathways and synaptic centers of the brain along with activating and restoring the original 12 strand DNA each time it’s played. This also helps activate the new 24 strand DNA and new information will be heard each time the CD is played.

Any global solution must naturally neutralize the psychopathic evil behind Gaza genocide, Ukraine conflict, Ebola bioterror and systemic "DUH" (Dense, Unconscious & Heartless).  See: The Cosmic LOVE solution.
     The last show on Cosmic Love I interviewed Stefan Vestappen on the subject of psychopathy as we've seen amply demonstrated in the Gaza holocaust and the world's response to it.  Since that show I've published four articles that reference the urgent global context for needed global solutions as you can read with embedded videos at: (1) Overcoming Evil for Global Healing, (2) Truth-tellers Versus Warmongers, (3) Take Heart: It's Darkest Before the Dawn, and (4) The Choice: Global Golden Age? Or Global Tyranny?
      Beyond the contagion of insensate violence, epitomized in Gaza, there is a global awakening to capabilities for interactive media solutions in 2014.  There's no security without social conscience purity in our ubiquitous social networks.
     Imagine what a Whole Systems Upgrade of Global TeLeComm will look like... and consider how Quantum Computing will reboot our collective conscience as the Family of Mankind in our All-Connected Global Village.
     Realize that world peace patriots now represent the Global Netizens of Earth Uniting!  And that our common enemy is willful ignorance and "cherished illusions" (BS in Belief Systems) that keep us divided and subservient to psychopaths who want WWIII with demoralizing in-our-face genocide in Gaza like a boot stomping on the face of our humanity, our sanity... our conscience.
     Dawning Reality: Global Enlightenment
     This show goes beyond faithless fear to fearless faith in the power of global humanity to wake up, wise up and rise up with social conscience in our global social networks.
     Discussing on the show:
     (1) Voting Solution: What voting will look like; interactive mass-to-mass TeLeComm with a universal interface for culturing conscience in one's personal and social network 'holodeck'.
     (2) Wisdom Solution: How 'Information's Ecology' will recycle knowledge in the way that empowers wisdom; organizing information IN FORMATION framed by the Constitution of Conscience.
     (3) Love Solution: Why heart coherence is a universal standard that resonates with the harmonic order of the holographic universe and right brain thinking when in your heart.
     (4) Healing Solution:  How the synergistic integration of the first three solutions naturally leads to Universal Self Care and a global TeLeComm process for involving and evolving our individual and collective conscience.
     Serious devotees of this peace process realize how global rEVOLUTION is optimized with a Cosmic LOVE Solution at: 'Our Choice'.

Mystic Awakening of an American Physician tells the story of a woman’s journey through transformative healing. Spirit teaches her through natural means, and as she becomes more aware, she receives multiple messages from nature and dreams.

DR STEVE PIECZENIK is a critically acclaimed author of psycho-political thrillers and the co-creator of the New York Times best-selling "Tom Clancy's Op-Center" and "Tom Clancy's Net Force" book series. He is also one of the world's most experienced international crisis managers and hostage negotiators. His novels are based on his twenty years experience in resolving international crises for five U.S. administrations.

Dr. Pieczenik received his B.A. from Cornell University,trained in Psychiatry at Harvard and has both an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a Ph.D. in International Relations from M.I.T.

He was the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD. focusing on international relations, and is the only psychiatrist to ever have served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. He served four presidents as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Bush Sr. and was a Senior Policy Planner under president Reagan. Dr. Pieczenik worked directly with, and reported directly to, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker, as well as the respective White Houses. Dr. Pieczenik was drafted into the Vietnam War. He was assigned in the Public Health Services with the rank of Navy Captain (0-6) to run three psychiatric wards at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C., including a ward where serial killers were housed. He was subsequently offered a promotion to Rear Admiral (0-7), which he refused on the grounds that he felt honored enough to serve his country, did not want to take a pension and wished to return to civilian life to follow his passions as a physician, entrepreneur and novelist.

Dr. Pieczenik is an expert in psychological warfare, political psychology, regime change, intelligence, counterintelligence and covert operations. During his career as a senior State Department official, Dr. Pieczenik utilized his unique abilities and expertise to develop strategies and tactics that were instrumental in resolving major conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Muslim Siege in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein. Based on these experiences, Dr. Pieczenik, along with other senior officials at the State Department developed the mandate to create Delta Force and other quick-strike special forces units that could be used in future hostage situations and international crises. Dr. Pieczenik resigned over President Carter's handling of the Iran Hostage siege. He was recruited by Dr. Richard Solomon to the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA to develop the strategy and tactics using the principles of psychological warfare to dismantle the Soviet Union without the use of military force.

He was subsequently recruited into the Reagan Policy Planning Staff at the State Department. While at the State Department, Dr. Pieczenik was tasked with creating and implementing regime change in Panama to overthrow General Manuel Noriega. As a result, General Noriega repeatedly accused Dr. Pieczenik in the Panamanian newspaper, La Critica, of being an "assassin" and neutralizing several of Noriega's associates. This is a charge Dr. Pieczenik neither confirms nor denies.

Dr. Pieczenik helped develop negotiation strategies for major U.S.- Soviet arms control summits under the Reagan administration. He was also involved in advising senior officials on important psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies for President Carter's successful Camp David Peace Conference. In 1991, Dr. Pieczenik was a chief architect of the Cambodian Peace Conference in Paris.

He has worked with Dr. Richard Solomon to develop the theoretical basis for the Chinese Negotiating Behavioral Strategy, a classic in transcultural negotiations.

Dr. Pieczenik continues to volunteer his time and expertise as a consultant to the Department of Defense. He does not accept any remuneration for his services. He felt honored to work for his country that adopted him as a refugee and saved his family from extermination in the Holocaust. He has made it his life-long commitment to work to protect and preserve America’s liberties and freedoms, even when it meant going against the president of the United States and the very organizations with which he was working. To this day he still strongly believes in the integrity of the Office of the Presidency and the Republic, both of which must be bereft of corruption, deception, betrayal, collusion and crony capitalism by any and all parties, including financial, political, medical, pharmaceutical and academic special interests. His basic belief is that no one person is indispensable to the viability of State.

Dr. Pieczenik has started several successful companies, employing his methodologies in various industries, including investment banking, publishing, television/film and medicine. He has been directly involved as an Angel Investor with starting twenty-eight companies.
