Why Hypnosis Works (Part 2 of 3)

Somewhere between 8 and 9 we develop a filtering system, called the critical mind. This part of the brain handles up to 3 million pieces of information a second according to researchers. It works kind of like a search engine in a computer. It can hold info for up to 24 hours…after that the info is either rejected or accepted.

This part of the brain searches through the subconscious for any information that matches the incoming bit. If it finds that the new info relates to any of the "knowns" in your subconscious it adds the new information to what the subconscious already holds; if not, then the new information is rejected.

The conscious part of your brain, the part where your ability to learn, to analyze, to reason, to determine, and of course your will-power to help us through life is 10-12% of your brain’s capacity.

So this is Important Point # 2. We develop a "Conscious" Brain that can distinguish the difference between fiction and fact, truth and untruth.
