The evolution of his special and unique gifts is the story of doors opening through dynamic spiritual interplay and opportunities that occurred in tandem bringing the true nature of spirituality and its many roles in our lives.

Who else may assist to improve one's corporate environment, bring blessings, provide messages from spirit, assist victims of spiritual oppression, dehaunt people and places, provide spiritual healing, and help others embrace their own gifts? We know of no others. Rarely is an individual empowered to clarify and teach the interconnection between our thoughts, activities, creation, and ultimately our success. It has been said that Richard helps bring forth the supernatural in each of us. We all respond to spiritual and physical laws whether or not we are aware of or believe in them. Great thinkers and leaders throughout time have worked with these threads of truth to bring about advances in individual and group consciousness. Through his gifts, guidance, faith, and humor, Richard possesses the unique ability to integrate these threads, creating ideas and solutions that transcend ordinary boundaries. We are in a tug of war between divine light and ignorance in our ever-expanding consciousness, and Richard is working to make that evolution happen more quickly and emphasizing this through light over ignorance; however challenging this may be. Richard's work include facilitating this process in gifted and caring people to advance the condition of all fellow beings, our planet, our faith, and our footprints in time - this is neither an easy or trivial task, but can be an experience wonderful beyond imagination. - www.richardpjackson.com

Morgellons (also called Morgellons disease or Morgellons syndrome) is a name given in 2002 by Mary Leitao to a proposed condition characterized by a range of cutaneous (skin) symptoms including crawling, biting, and stinging sensations; finding fibers on or under the skin; and persistent skin lesions (e.g., rashes or sores). Current scientific consensus holds that Morgellons is not a new disorder and is instead a new and misleading name for known illnesses. Most doctors, including dermatologists and psychiatrists, regard Morgellons as a manifestation of known medical conditions, including delusional parasitosis, although some health professionals believe that Morgellons disease is a specific condition likely to be confirmed by future research. Despite the lack of evidence that Morgellons is a novel or distinct condition and the absence of any agreed set of diagnostic symptoms, the Morgellons Research Foundation and self-diagnosed Morgellons patients have successfully lobbied members of Congress and the U.S. government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate the proposed condition. The CDC states that while it is not known at present whether the condition represents a new disease entity, or whether persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious, it has begun an epidemiological investigation of the "Unexplained Dermopathy (aka 'Morgellons')." - www.thenmo.org

X Minus One was a half-hour science fiction radio series broadcast from April 24, 1955 to January 9, 1958 in various timeslots on NBC. Initially a revival of NBC's Dimension X (1950-51), X Minus One is widely considered among the finest science fiction dramas ever produced for radio. The first 15 episodes were new versions of Dimension X episodes, but the remainder were adaptations by NBC staff writers, including Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts, of newly published science fiction stories by leading writers in the field, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Frederik Pohl and Theodore Sturgeon along with some original scripts by Kinoy and Lefferts. Episodes of the show include adaptations of Robert Sheckley's "Skulking Permit," Bradbury's "Mars Is Heaven," Heinlein's "Universe" and "The Green Hills of Earth", " Pohl's "The Tunnel under the World," J. T. McIntosh's "Hallucination Orbit," Fritz Leiber's "A Pail of Air" and George Lefferts' "The Parade." The series was canceled after the 126th broadcast on January 9, 1958. However, the early 1970s brought a wave of nostalgia for old-time radio; a new experimental episode, "The Iron Chancellor" by Robert Silverberg, was created in 1973, but it failed to revive the series. NBC also tried broadcasting the old recordings, but their irregular once-monthly scheduling kept even devoted listeners from following the broadcasts. All episodes of the show survive.
