Hi Dakini...I doubt it, I'm more of an advanced non-practitioner. :>)
That being said, working to stay in a state of awareness of the exchange of energy going on all around us is a kind of meditation plane of it's own. I can appreciate your use of the word "mystic" as opposed to "adept" since it seems so much less subjective. One person's adept can be the next person's fool...or worse, puppeteer.
The white skeleton meditation sounds interesting. I was hoping to find a link to examine the technique, but I can't see paying for something I'd probably not use (and I realize you weren't recommending it to
me :>)...since I'm wary of anything connected to any religion or established path of energetics. This doesn't imply an opinion about its merits as far as anyone else is concerned.
It's not just the idea of information having been kept secret that I see as a problem, but that the misdirection of energy and information has been a major function of all the world's religions and spiritual institutions. I inherently mistrust
every meditation technique, doctrine, prayer, magical spell or whatever, out of a suspicion of the subtle programming or energetic heisting that may be involved.
This probably sounds paranoid, but it's because I'm buying into one component of Wingmaker/James' paradigm, and also that of Kyle Griffith's War in Heaven...the notion of being caught up in a holographic prison of a sort that remains a prison right up through and beyond all the levels of the spiritual adepts and even ascended mastery. Therefore I have alarms going off constantly, even over such elemental constructs as archetypal images. There's a good chance that many of the techniques and processes which we believe have been designed by spiritual masters and/or light beings, are actually distractions to take a serious seeker of the knowledge of the workings of reality, into a higher plane of entrapment.

I agree, and to Czymra I'd like to add that we're always manifesting, every moment, all the time. What we're seeking isn't only the ability to manifest, or even to manifest intentionally, but to have the clarity to manifest intelligently and in balance with the natural rhythms and patterns of organic life as well. If we can't find a way to empty ourselves of mental babble this is never possible...so some way to turn off and go deeper than mind is essential to the process.
