Lol. Go on a ten day meditation retreat and tell me that. Your subconscious will be jumping out at you after 3 days of simply not talking to people.

Esoteric doesn't mean "non-existent" or "spiritual". It means "understood only be those with specialized knowledge". I meditate daily and have a made a study of my own consciousness for years. I have some esoteric knowledge about the subject. That doesn't make it any less esoteric.
