Detachment is what we call concealment. In Kabbalah it is said that in this world we are concealed from the Creator's presence. This is the lowest world in existence and we are here so that we can independently choose to receive the light of the Creator for His sake without being compelled to.
Everything we think that is outside of us is also within us. Everyone I see shares my properties (to some degree); and the only one I can truly change is myself. A concept is unknowable unless one experiences it. As in "I cannot name what I can't attain."
The only way of attainment is through lishma (performing God's commands without ulterior motives).
The concept of detachment is faith above reason, as opposed to faith within reason or Lo Lishma (ulterior motives).
Answer 2:
It sounds like the question is referring to Tzimtzum. This is the teaching that states that immediately before creating the Universe, God withdrew His revealed presence from where the Universe would be, so that free-will could function.
