Hi ethereal,

I've recently been learning about detachment myself, and although I give the word a slightly different meaning, I think I understand what you mean.

A really simple way of thinking about it is like this: Feel free to desire anything and everything that you want - and enter into the actions that lead to those goals/intentions/desires with 100% presence. The trick is to become detached from any OUTCOME you may have imagined. That way, you are shifting your focus to the NOW, and enjoying the doing. So your state of being is not dependent on some "future" that may not be totally under your control.

The application of this has worked wonders for me!
