What are esoteric targets?

Exploring the mysteries that conventional science cannot answer: UFOs, ancient enigmas, and the frontiers of human consciousness.

Understanding how esoteric targets differ from verifiable targets, and when each type serves your remote viewing practice.

What makes a target esoteric?

Esoteric targets explore questions that have no definitive answers. They take remote viewing beyond testable predictions to genuine mystery and discovery.

A photograph of the Eiffel Tower is verifiable. You compare your session to the actual image and know immediately how well you did. "What technology powers UFOs?" is esoteric. There may be answers, but no one can provide definitive feedback.

This creates a fundamental tradeoff. Verifiable targets let you develop and measure your abilities. Esoteric targets let you apply those abilities to explore the nature of reality, consciousness, and the universe itself.

Types of esoteric targets

Esoteric targets span the most intriguing questions humans have asked. They represent the frontier where remote viewing meets genuine mystery.

UFOs and non-human intelligence

Questions about extraterrestrial technology, alien civilizations, and encounters that governments may or may not have documented.

What technology powers UFOs?
Where do the Greys come from?

Historical mysteries

Events and secrets where the truth remains hidden or disputed. Remote viewing can explore what conventional history cannot.

What happened at the Philadelphia Experiment?
Who was behind the JFK assassination?
What is buried under the Sphinx?
What caused the Bronze Age collapse?

Personal and spiritual questions

Deep questions about meaning, purpose, and consciousness that each person must explore for themselves.

What is my life purpose?
Who was I in past lives?

Future possibilities

Exploring potential timelines and outcomes before they manifest, a practice that blends remote viewing with precognition.

What major discovery will emerge in 2030?
Where will humanity be in 100 years?
What breakthrough am I working toward?

Why esoteric targets matter

Esoteric targets represent the original promise of remote viewing: the ability to explore questions that science cannot answer through conventional means.

For beginners, verifiable targets are essential. You need immediate feedback to develop your abilities. But for expert viewers with proven accuracy on verifiable targets, esoteric targets become one of the most powerful tools available for consciousness research.

Frontier exploration

Apply your developed remote viewing skills to the nature of reality, consciousness, and phenomena that conventional science struggles to study.

Group validation

Task multiple expert viewers on the same esoteric target. Where independent viewers produce overlapping impressions, confidence increases. This method has been used to explore everything from archaeological mysteries to potential future events.

Personal meaning

Self-referential questions offer psychological and spiritual insight. Even without external validation, exploring your own deeper questions can provide valuable perspective and direction.

The importance of good tasking

Good tasking descriptions are critical for esoteric targets.

When you cannot verify your results, bias becomes your biggest enemy. Poor tasking contains assumptions that pollute perception. If the tasking says "describe the aliens at Roswell," you might perceive aliens whether they exist or not.

Proper tasking removes all assumptions. Instead of "describe the aliens," use "describe what was present at the Roswell incident site in July 1947." This works for any outcome: aliens, weather balloons, classified military craft, or something else entirely.

Without verifiable feedback, unbiased tasking is your only defense against wishful thinking and confirmation bias.

Understanding the challenges

The lack of verifiable feedback creates inherent challenges. These are not flaws. They are the nature of exploring genuine unknowns. Understanding these challenges helps you work with esoteric targets effectively.

  • No skill measurement: Without feedback, you cannot track improvement. This is why building proven accuracy on verifiable targets first is critical.
  • Bias amplification: Humans are pattern-making machines. Without objective feedback, it's easy to see what you expect to see. Good tasking and multiple viewers help counteract this.
  • Signal uncertainty: You may receive genuine psychic impressions, or you may be imagining. The only way to know is through proven accuracy on verifiable targets first.

Develop your skills with verifiable targets until you have demonstrated accuracy. Then, apply those proven abilities to esoteric targets that fascinate you.

Are esoteric targets dangerous?

Some practitioners believe that certain esoteric targets carry psychic or energetic risks. Psychically protected military installations, malevolent entities, or targets involving corrupting energies are sometimes flagged as potentially dangerous.

Most esoteric targets are safe. UFO sightings, historical mysteries, ancient civilizations, consciousness questions, and philosophical explorations pose no risk. Unusual does not mean dangerous.

Current policy: Social RV does not offer any targets classified as dangerous. All available targets are safe for practice, including all esoteric targets in our premium collection.

We have a classification system for future use, if we ever add targets that some practitioners consider risky. You would opt in explicitly to view those categories.

How Social RV handles esoteric targets

Social RV focuses on targets with verifiable feedback. This serves two purposes:

  • Skill development: You need immediate feedback to improve your abilities
  • Scientific data: Verifiable targets generate measurable data for consciousness research

Our standard target library includes photographs, geographical locations, and historical events with objective feedback. This allows you to measure your progress and develop proven accuracy.

We also offer esoteric targets as premium content. Once you've built your skills on verifiable targets, you can apply those abilities to explore the mysteries that fascinate you. These include UFO phenomena, ancient civilizations, and questions about consciousness itself.

The combination of both target types creates a complete remote viewing practice: verifiable targets for skill development, esoteric targets for meaningful exploration.
