When identified with the ego one is always rushing around boosting the ego-identity with the idea of being the doer of things even if those things are thoughts. In calmness there is a slowing down and a shifting of consciousness away from immediate local signals allowing consciousness to expand. This helps to shift the identity from the ego (where one barely retains the free will to say no to conditioning) to the quantum self because the gap between thought and action increases and so a freer exercise of the choice of the quantum self is possible. Thus the exercise of creative wisdom in manifestation is possible. This is the choice to do, not to do, or to do something else.
