Oh it's quite simple.
There are two kinds of detachment:
(1) Where you simply have no desire. Eg you are not a soccer fan and you do not care at all which team wins the next league match. Thus you are completely detached from the outcome of the game. You are totally indifferent.
(2) Where you have a desire, and you completely, utterly, absolutely believe that it will come true. Since your belief is so strong, you are able to detach from your desire. After all, you already know that it will come true.
The detachment described in (1) is irrelevant in our usual LOA context.
The detachment described in (2) is very relevant to our usual LOA context. Because all versions of LOA tell you that the more strongly you believe, the more powerful your manifestation.
When Jesus healed the blind, he probably just said, "Open your eyes. By the power of God, you see again." And so it happened, just like that.
He probably didn't say, "I really desire that you can see again ... Oh, come on, come on ... I know I can do this ... God is with me, I gotta remember that ... I really want to do this ... my intention is strong, I really desire this to happen ... I feel good, I feel good ... okay, let's try it .... open your eyes now!"
Instead, Jesus demonstrates detachment, as a result of his utter faith. He already strongly believes that he can heal the blind just like that. Thus he is detached from the outcome, because in effect he already KNOWS that he can make it happen.
Detachment in this form, is basically an elevated form of positive belief.
Of course, if you can't reach that stage, you'll just have to work with basic strong desire.
