Any attempt to become unattached through the mind is pure mood-making/manipulation which is worthless.
I don't know that I agree. I think that detachment can occur through maturity and experience, through living in accordance with your values. Even if this had nothing to do with pure consciousness, I disagree that it is irrelevant mood making or is worthless. It is functioning in a self actualized way, with empathy and at your best. This is worthwhile, whatever the label.
