Gatekeeper
A psychological wall that prevents the flow of knowledge, memories, or other information from one level of the mind to another. There are two gatekeepers in the mind. One filters content flowing between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The other gatekeeper filters content flowing between the subconscious and super-conscious minds. Hypnosis moves both gatekeepers out of the way by calming the mind, at which point the gatekeepers simply relax and slide out of the way, allowing access to the content of the conscious, subconscious and super-conscious minds at the same time.
