Yay! So maybe -- thought has nothing to do with manifestation. They're thoughts, you have them, that's it. What brings the manifestation closer? Things like reception (that internal "yes" feeling), emotional opening, and space. And in this case you were choosing to experience some ease in your project too. Congrats!

I believe desire will get you the experience of desire. That "white hot desire" feeling Napoleon Hill spoke of is probably what I call "reception", that big "yes" feeling. It's something that is experienced on the emotional level, not the thinking level ("I desire this...").

"detachment" to me feels like "Be in the world, but not of it."
A quote by Chuang Tzu:
By a man without passions I mean one who does not permit good or evil to disturb his inward economy, but rather falls in with what happens and does not add to the sum of his morality.

So, the moment you start resisting what is, you're attached to it.
