One thing you must know, Krokodeel,” Gurdjieff said to Kathryn Hulme (whom he addressed in lavishly accented English as “Crocodile”):
“Nervousness has a momentum. The mind cannot stop nervousness, it must go on until the momentum finishes. It is important that you remember this.…”
“You must know,” he continued, “a most important thing about Man. Man cannot stay long in one subjective state. The subjective state depends from a thousand things. You can never know the subjective state of another. It is typicality of man that no two such states are ever the same; they are like thumbprints, each different. When you see her,” he indicated Wendy at another table, “in some subjective state, you must not try to understand what causes it. Even she cannot know. If, for example, she is angry with you, you say—She is not mad with me, her state is mad with me. Never reply with your interior. Never have revenge associations.”36 (http://www.gurdjieff.org/lipsey1.htm)
