I may have stumbled on a history changing idea. How do I make money off it?

I basically stumbled on a new concept that can be expressed easily in a
paragraph. The implications are very earth shattering if lay people
embrace it. If I submit the idea in a paper to philosphy periodical,
wont people be able to take the idea and write about it bypassing me?
I'm afraid to talk to anyone for fear of the idea being hijacked.

There's an easy solution: Pick up your phone book and look under
"psychiatrists". One should be able to help you with your problem.

The if in the middle of that sentence is where your money hangs and not
solidly I would guess. Words just don't seem to change people like
that.

If the paragraph is earth shattering, it must have transformed you.
You could become a speaker. You are the first who has read it, you
should stay ahead of the pack as people themselves are transformed.
Keep increasing your speaker fees.

The first time i had the revelation, I became quite despondent, even
suicidal. After 10 yrs of hosting this idea in my brain, I can say that
it made me a stronger person.

If this new idea made you stronger, then the culture has no need for it.
On the other hand your initial reaction to the idea, might find a niche.

Now if only there wasn't the ease with which we adapt. I wonder what would
also come with this greater strength? ? Would this new resilience take the
collective towards a greater indifference?

Bah! I felt this way about many of the ideas I have had. Mind you, all of
the ideas appear to be part of the same whole idea. i, too, fear to share it
so as to lose out on getting cash, as I could so milk it. But I say to
myself that truth has no price and it is more important to share it then for
me to try and profit off of it.

After all, I am looking/wanting a revolution not to continue suporting the
capitalist system.

If you havnt yet resolved the law of attraction , regarding wealth, then I
doubt your idea will be as shattering as you may imagine.

This is a good arena to express it. If it can get past this crowd, it may
just work out for you.

I wouldn't worry about anybody "stealing" your ideas -- you'll have
enough trouble trying to convince people of its profoundity to begin
with. It usually takes a generation or two before any new methodology
takes effect anyway -- the longer you keep it to yourself, the less
you'll see of its effect.

If you're so worried, write it out in an essay format then send it to
the copyright office before sending it. You won't be able to stop
people from using your ideas, but if someone's making a buck off of it,
then at least you'll have means of legal recourse.

You read delusional. Life's too short and precious to waste with such
delusions and obsessions. Heed my advice: Go see a psychiatrist.

Does it have anything to do with a timecube or parts of reality that
are only perceivable with full brain growth?

If not, tell anyone that will listen. Odds are unbelievably good
someone else thought of it a hundred years ago and a dozen other folks
have debunked it since. Worrying about intellectual hijacking is like
worrying about your house being broken into. It isn't that the risk
doesn't exist. It just isn't likely enough to be a significant
concern.
