So far, I'm finding the concept of IM fascinating, and enjoying reading people's successes with it. Also enjoying reading people's questioning, and working on the question of why sometimes it doesn't work.

There are some obvious flaws in the concept of LoA however, and I was thinking about another one last night -- the specification for detachment.

Plenty of times I've been completely attached to an outcome and things worked out the way I wanted. I've been strung out about an outcome, stressed, afraid, anxious, and wanting something really, really bad, and from everything I read about LoA, that is supposed to drive the desired object/event/person away, but it simply isn't true.

We keep being told that we're not manifesting something because we're too attached to the outcome, but that discounts all those experiences I've had where I was not detached whatsoever.

There also are plenty of times I thought "wouldn't it be cool" if something happened (detachment) and it didn't happen. And vice versa.
