TheColonel, as far as I know "detachment" is the opposite of "realizing one's desires".
This is the definition of detachment according to Wikipedia:

Quote:
Detachment is a state in which a person, theoretically, overcomes his or her attachment to desire for things, people or concepts of the world and thus attains a heightened perspective.
With that definition, it seems to me that detachment is totally incompatible with I-M (which is used by many here to get the things of their desire).
