By subconscious you guys I mean, the factors of us that dont involve consciousness. Like we dont control our heartbeat at will, what aggregate is it that keeps one alive that keeps one going at the base level. It can't be a soul, so what aggregate is it?

Sometimes an organ can be kept alive by artificial means. Thus, cognition (conscious or subconscious) is not needed.
Perhaps a more accurate example of subconscious with regard to your question would be seeing something without being aware that you see it, such as an image shown for 1/48th of a second, or an animal who blends into its environment.
