1) Word Juxtapoz®: The art of thinking & speaking in riddles

This is a revolutionary new way to communicate. A new language. A new approach to thinking.

Called Word Juxtapoz®, this provocative art form has been described as creative, artistic, genius, refreshing, mind-blowing, out-of-the-box, out-of-this-world; or simply "Wow!".

Think of it as "thinking and speaking in riddles" - but minus the negative connotation. For once you get it, you'd wonder why you didn't get it earlier or "why didn't I think of that?". And then you'd want to pass it on to your friends, your colleagues, your loved ones - or even your so-called enemies because you want to irritate them by speaking in riddles. (In this latter case you'd probably leave out the solution to each of the coded messages).

Yes, you'll probably want to spread it; pollinate it; propagate it because you know you have excellent taste and your peers would agree with you. This medium of communication will probably spread like a wild idea virus because once you "catch it", you'd have no choice but to pass it on!

It's contagious. Infectious even. However, once you've learned the trick behind the "coding of the message", the joke's on the recipient. The mystery of the message would then have passed from you - the sender to the person receiving it. And he the latter will have a dubious task of deciphering what you are trying to say.

Now that's what we call "thinking & speaking in riddles"!

P.S.: Okay, enough of talk! Let's experience firsthand what this concept of Word Juxtapoz® really is. After all, they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

P.P.S.: For your convenience, we've categorized the following Word Juxtapoz® riddles in three "communication groups."

2) Word Juxtapoz®: An art form that dates back to the ancient Egyptian hieroglypics?

The idea of Word Juxtapoz® is accepted today by hundreds of people - including educators, trainers and consultants specializing in creativity and thinking skills - as a modern cutting edge brain technology.

But believe it or not, this incredibly scientific mindbending concept has roots as far as back as 3,000 BC!

It's what we call a LONG TIME NO SEE artform. (See the long teaser on the right for a visual rendition of "Long time no see" - again Word Juxtapoz® style.)

This idea of using pictures and other symbols as letters of the alphabet to depict messages with meanings not apparent known, first started in ancient Egypt in the form of hieroglypics. Hieroglypics were also used by the Hittites, Minoans, Maras and Incas. But for a LONG TIME now, there seems to be an eroding away of this remarkable art.

"What does all this mean?" you ask.

Here's the implication: 3,000 plus 2,000 equals 5,000. That's about 5,000 years of development and history in the making for a concept like Word Juxtapoz®. (Talk about time establishment!). NO kidding!

Now you SEE why we - the wacky folks at www.wordjuxtapoz.com - are so excited about this idea of Word Juxtapoz®!

And oh yes ... by now you should also realize why it's LONG TIME NO SEE.

3) Word Juxtapoz®: The catalytic fuel that powers Juxtaerobix™ (brains not included.)

Juxtaerobix is a series of high impact, high fun energy and mentally gyrating workouts for the whole brain.

Recent research shows that the brain acts as a whole, with all the mental skills supporting each other. These mental skills may be classified into ten areas: (left brain skills) numbers, words, logic, lists, details; and (right brain skills) pictures, imagination, color, rhythm and space. Based on the understanding that it is the left brain that processes and stores information concerning words and numbers, and the right brain that processes and stores pictures, the Juxtaerobix involves a whole-brain approach to the solving of a problem.

Each juxtaerobix consists of a juxtaposition of words and pictures to depict common expressions or catchphrases. It involves employing words and visual imagery to create meaning not plainly apparent. (See the four visuals on the right margin for illustration. Collectively they represent the four basic creativity skills depicted in Word Juxtapoz style, of course!) The message is hidden in the medium.

Specially designed and conceptualized, Juxtaerobix workouts are catalysts to whole-brain creative thinking. Each Juxtaerobix compels a reader to utilise his or her whole-brain mental skills of processing and analysing the pieces of information available (generally depicted in the forms of words, letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation marks and pictures) and collectively make sense of them.

These carefully engineered teasers promote the development of a learner's creativity by helping him or her exercise four main creativity skills:

l) challenging assumptions;
2) taking risks;
3) seizing a chance; and
4) approaching a task or problem in ways different from that before.

Because every Juxtaerobix compels the user to go through a process of discovery - by working through his or her mental processes - in order to figure out the hidden meaning, this means that the learning is made more effective, fulfillng, enjoyable, and will last longer. This is opposed to the all too common way of learning by rote.
