I'll point out to you, as I did another poster, that the word esoteric doesn't mean "mysterious" or "spiritual". it means "only understood by those with specialized knowledge".
additionally I would refute your claim that the subconscious (or really anything to do with consciousness) is well understood by science. it is acknowledged as being a thing that exists and just as readily acknowledged as being a thing that is poorly understood, at least from a materialist science perspective.
the models of consciousness that produce more thorough and well-explored theories tend to come from spiritual traditions, such as Buddhism, rather than materialist traditions.
