Begin at the Beginning?

This is a blog post about me, for me, for the purpose of spurring some movement on an issue. If it doesn't make sense to you the reader, please skip down below -- I just need to get some words out into the air!

Oh, I'm all mixed up.

I have this idea, a theory of spirituality, that I want to research and share, but per my big-deal-out-of-little personality type, I'm having a hard time narrowing down just how to go about it.

I want to blog about it, but I'm holding off for now -- I'm thinking I'll need a new website for it first. It needs its own blog just about that.

The idea of opening a blank .doc and just... WRITING, with no audience but me, is, well, boring. I'm afraid if I start, my idea will get lost there and left there. But really, if I'm honest, that's the way I should go.

I want to research and possibly copyright my idea too. I don't want to make money off it, but I don't want someone ELSE to make money off of it. That'd just be wrong, for anyone to take it and create some messed evangelical organization from a concept that's meant to promote compassion and understanding. I do, however, need to eat and pay bills, just like everyone else. But riches are not for me. (But if someone else got rich from my idea, delivered to them by me -- boy I'd be JEALOUS!! lol!!!)

Hmmm.............................

I didn't know you could copyright an idea like that. I am now intrigued. My son has a cool philosophy of religion that I would love for him to explore and write about, but I don't know if he ever will.

There are definitely ways to protect such ideas, but I'm researching how to do it. There are multitudinous non-profit foundations with trademarked and servicemarked brands out there for ideas that are wholly holy. Most notably: A Course in Miracles! But many many others as well =)
