It is the actual event, person, object, or whatever, that is the focus for a remote viewing session. Normally, the remote viewer is not told the target cue until after the session is completed. The target initial cue is given through the target coordinates. Typically, the person who tasks the session has a piece of paper on which the target coordinates and the target cue are both written. Experience has clearly demonstrated that the viewer's subspace mind has instantaneous awareness of the meaning of the target coordinates, and a typical session begins immediately by obtaining information directly related to the target cue.
Humans perceive and process remote-viewing data differently.
For example, if someone was told to go into a room and to see what was there, they would need little additional instruction. The request to go into the room and observe is vague, yet most people would not feel uncomfortable with the request, knowing that they would probably be able to sort things out once they got into the room. When they start looking around, they could make an inventory of the room's contents. Their conscious minds would be fully engaged as they entered the room, and most people would perform satisfactorily in this regard even if they had no prior expectations regarding the contents of the room. With remote viewing, the viewer has minimal help from the conscious mind.
