Lightbulb Ah, there's the answer I was looking for...

Thanks, ALG. An excellent treatment on the variety of ways the LOA can be used to accomplish...well, anything we put our minds to. Including, if we so desire, spiritual enlightenment. And while I do agree with Antarananda's view that true bliss can occur only after all desires have been relinquished, I, too, am much farther down the enlightenment scale, preoccupied as I am with the more mundane aspects of life. Your post illustrates quite nicely how I can still realize considerable benefit from the LOA, exactly as it's presented by Abraham-Hicks.

And as for "detachment", until I reach the higher rungs of enlightenment and can simply let go of all of my desires, the best I can do for now is to trust--without anxiety--that those desires will be fulfilled, and to not worry about or try to control how that fulfillment will be accomplished.

Now, let's see...if I have the desire to relinquish all desires...hmmmm.
