How important is detachment?

[moonprincess]

I ask because one of the major recurring themes when I read about other people's experiences with the LOA is detachment from the outcome/'letting go'. However, my most significant (to me, anyway) manifestation to date was something that I was far from being detached about. In fact, one could say I was almost obsessed.

I'm trying to manifest something else quite substantial but very different into my life, and I'm wondering... do I have to let go to see it? Letting go is difficult for me, and it wasn't necessary before. Should I try for the obsession route again? What seemed so natural for my first major manifestation seems somehow uncomfortable for this one, and yet, so does striving for complete detachment. Should I aim somewhere in the middle?

Thoughts or advice, anyone? Thanks in advance

I guess I'd need to know more about what is happening for both of the manifestations you've mentioned. FOr example you say you were obsessed by something you wanted and you got it.. are you saying you were passionate about it, thought about it and did what ever it took to get it? Ok cool. None of those things would stand in the way of manifestation. So that's great
 
I'm presuming you weren't depressed about it or feeling like you would not be happy if you didn't get it, or got into emotional knots about it because that goes against what I learnt so far about LoA.

So with this new thing are their other emotions you are dealing with around it that you didn't feel with the first one?

It seems that the level to which you need to detach is different for everyone and their intentions. It might be due to the feelings associated with the intentions specifically. To me, I think that you should do what feels right to you. If you say that becoming "obsessed" with this intention as you did the last one doesn't feel right then don't do it.

@truelove: yes, that's what I meant about being obsessed. Thought about it constantly, to the exclusion of other things, was eager and excited about it, and so on. With the new thing there's some doubt that I'm finding it hard to get rid of.

@Happybeingme: true, everyone is different, and I think every manifestation is different too, so it doesn't make sense to look for a one-size-fits-all approach. Thank you

What makes it different for everyone is what makes them to feel good.
If you think about your desire, even if you are obesessed, excited, and it makes you feel happy, then it will happen.
If you feel sad, or just notice the lack of it, or you have doubts, then it's better to focus on something else and let it go.

I also work better at manifesting when I am to a certain degree obsessed .  I think of my desires alot but in a very happy and excited way .I can't manifest any other way.  Thw whole 'forget about your desire' route does not work for me. Everyone is different, follow your gut as to what route 2 take...xxxxx

I'm like this to, Say I wanted a car, I would think about the car all the time, I would visualise me in this particular car driving it, I would feel it, If I detached and forgot about the car knowing it was coming what would happen is I'd just forget about the car and give up on it, the passion and desire for the car would be forgotten about, In saying that constantly focusing on doesn't seem to work for me either so hard to know what to do really.

Interesting post and one i can completly relate too. I have trouble letting go but have noticed just with my intuisan that as long as what I am thinking makes me feel happy and good then its ok. But when i am in a negative way i get that knot feeling in my stomach and a knowing feeling of this is not good for me.
i am learning about loa like evereyone here and its great to share what we know

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only person that finds it easier to manifest without detachment. For the longest time I thought I was doing it wrong, lol.
