Since most early literate civilisations were located around the warm Mediterranean region, the first mention of an iceberg in world literature did not come until the ninth century A.D., when an account of the travels of the Irish monk St. Brendan in the North Atlantic, three centuries before, appeared. It mentioned that he saw a "floating crystal castle." What else could that have been?

The way people get aquainted with something new, describing it with the words they used for other phenomena, we are trying to describe the creative force of the human mind - Imagination. Why capitalized? Because Imagination is the most pervasive thing, a kind of energy to shape the world we know. It can be developed and used to organize and innovate the environment. Imagination sees, foresees and being applied creates. GlobalPuzzle makes it possible for you to develop this Universe driving force. The GlobalPuzzle territory is purposely unmapped for you to create it and seek for the treasures your imagination hides by solving the wisdom pieces and challenging the world with that of yours.

As Robert Anton Wilson, a writer, says: "The development of the highly developed is a matter of highly developed only".

Imagine the sound of one hand. It's from famous zen koan "Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?" How can you imagine the thing containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding? This is the puzzle!

According to buddhist teachings, there are a lot of dimensions a human lives in. Actually, these dimensions correspond to the senses a human body has - the world of the visible, the world of sounds, the world of tastes, the world of tactile senses, the world of scents, and the world of the inner perception (emotions, intuition). They are also the sources of the life energy. Zen puzzles, or koans, can be accessible only to intuition. To our sixth sense.

How can we answer koan having such an imperfect instrument as words? Koan can be solved only if you are in the buddhalike state of mind, when you understand that the only way to percept the unimaginable is to use your sixth sense. Zen buddhists promise Enlightenment to those who solve a koan. What does it mean? It means the way out of your artificial mind boundaries which were created by the way of thinking you got used to. Difficult to comprehend, but try. Try to solve at least one koan and see the results.

GlobalPuzzle is such a koan until it is solved. It is designed to combine the questions and the answers that are of all the mind accessible spheres. The access level depends on one thing - your imagination.

DaVincis are the change-agents of society. Da Vincis are the world's greatest leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, revolutionaries and entertainment stars. Da Vincies are the ones who know first than others, who sense earliest the trends, the patterns, the fashions, the revolutions that are afoot, the coming groundswells of popular demand.

DaVincis are often the most sensitive of our population, the most creative, and potentially the most destructive.

DaVincis have very little self-repression. Where the vast majority of the population may be quite repressed and content with that, the mere 10% of the population who are Da Vinci types abhor any inner self-repression. Da Vincis are only really content when operating at 100% threshold of their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual capacity with virtually no self-repression holding them back.

Since lack of self-repression is often perceived to be socially unacceptable, DaVincis may develop the maladaptive approach of holding everything back until there is a crisis - a socially acceptable excuse to throw 100% of themselves into that situation - as a result, DaVincis often find or generate crisis in order to feel fully engaged, happy or alive.

DaVincis can be successful in any sphere of their interest and here is the case that if they aren't interested in something they are involved in they do not succeed. Mental capacity of this people type of personality is highly-developed because DaVincis "eat all the interesting pieces of information" to digest it and transform into their creative activity.

Asking and seeking the answers mind of DaVincis needs continuous challenges to grow into something bigger. DaVincis believe that all the doors CAN be opened, that the knowledge CAN be obtained and that THEY CAN DO IT!

It is difficult for DaVincis teachers to teach them, because DaVincis do not take the information for granted and if they see any mismatches they speak about them. This kind of reaction is typical for Indigo children as well. The Information age started and the needs for personal development have been changed according to the new challenges the world faces nowadays. The appearance of the new type of people - DaVincis of the Information age, - gives the world a chance. Are you a DaVinci?
