Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a particular altered state of hyper-suggestibility brought about in an individual by a combination of relaxation, fixation of attention, and suggestion. Hypnosis is also bypassing the critical factor and setting up acceptable selective thinking.

The critical factor is the conscious part of the mind that has the ability to make rational logical judgments about what information is received. The critical factor acts as a filter, determining what can pass into the unconscious mind which seems to work as a non-rational computer-like system which accepts everything in it as absolute truth.
