While I certainly believe all this is possible, generally I take a rather Buddhist like attitude towards it.
I think rather the greater wisdom lies in learning to say and really mean, "not my will, but the will of the Creative Forces be done". I realize that often, I don't know what's best for myself or others, as I'm not consciously aware of all the relevant data.
I figure if manifesting something serves a greater purpose, and if it's something important to be done, I'll be nudged to facilitate that kind of manifesting.
There's a few sources which indicate that human ability to materialize thoughts into physical being, was much more common and prevalent in times far past and not remembered, and that our reality and the rules of same, were deliberately limited. Mainly because it was turned primarily towards destructive, hedonistic, and/or self serving ends.
I was given a message that sort of relates to this a little while back. My spouse and I were hiking the Colorado trail this past summer, and at one point while going to sleep, I really strongly wondered why I was here more specifically and asked if I could be given a glimpse of why and what my probable path was.
I had a dream where my grandfather was pretty sick (as he is in real life, and I don't think he is going to be around much longer). My grandfather wanted to feel well again, and expressed this desire to me. As I felt for him, I went deep within myself, opened more fully up to Source Consciousness and directed that flow to him. The transformation was pretty amazing. He looked like he had reversed some 30 years of age and was in glowing health.
While he very much appreciated the help, he ended up deciding he didn't really want to be here anymore and wanted to leave the physical. I didn't know what to tell him, I didn't think I could "undo" the action.
I believe the dream had a couple different messages for me. One was a caution/pointer that the physical outside is not always what's most important or what brings fulfillment, and that it would have been probably wiser to have not facilitated healing in his case, despite his initial wishes to feel well and mine to not see him suffer.
But I do think there is something to be gained in knowing how all this works, and that these things are certainly possible. It's knowing where and when to apply these kinds of abilities that's the tricky part. Abilities don't necessarily = wisdom/spiritual maturity and vice versa. I believe most of us are here to try to increase the latter, both for our benefit and the benefit of the Whole. There are times when they can and do overlap though, and that depends on our deeper intentions, the intentions of others, and other factors that tend to be more subtle and hidden.
Before any attempt to manifest, it might be wise to tune in a bit deeper, and ask if it's helpful from the perspective of those purely Creative Forces/Consciousness(es) or not. If one is given the green light of go, then why not? If one is cautioned, then it would be wise to listen.
