Explanation

Whatever else Kaballah and theosophy are, they are Western religious traditions, and they must be mystical themselves if they suggest that it is wrong to associate mysticism only with the East.

So you want words that mean something like “mystical.” Esoteric and arcane are the only good answers.

Hence options esoteric, arcane are best fit!
