Thanks all for your advice. I'm still striving to understand these ideas and really apply them in my life. ALG's suggestoin of writing goals every morning, I've taken to heart and do it every day.
Anyhoo, it seems like a common thread among the different methods of IM (including sedona, silva, abraham, etc) is to "allow" things into your reality. Hicks says that there are three steps:
1. Ask
2. Receive - Always happens, but you don't really "get" what you want until the third step
3. Accept by getting into vibrational harmony with it.
It seems like there's a less sense of controlling something than of trusting. Let go and trust. This seems to be the bridge to reconcile ideas of detachment AND strong desire, because strong desire can certainly exist while you're still trusting that something will come. And you become detached by trusting, too.
Assuming I'm at the level of courage (and assuming the model is correct), I guess I'm hitting up against the trap trying to control everything.
Hope this makes sense to someone else and helps out if possible.
