we said from the young one day we shall under go mystic discipline training!

There is nothing "mystic" about discipleship. It was a well known institution in first century Judea.

 
God does not deal in the mystic as He and His word is made known to all who are of His discipleship.

The only mysteries found in the scriptures are to those who have no Spiritual knowledge as they have not the Holy Spirit dwelling in them through the Spiritual rebirth from above, John 3:5-7.
 
Mystic is seeking spiritual experience and knowledge through prayer, rituals etc etc
It is usually a search for what the 'mystic ' does not know, though there are Christians who seek to know God by doing ' mystic ' experiences.

For the Christian we already know Jesus and by the indwelling Spirit are able to communicate with God.

There are different ideas of "mystic." The usual one is someone dabbling in the dark arts like witchcraft and divination. It is fundamentally opposed to anything Christian.

As I said, someone seeking spiritual experuience and knowledge through prayers rituals etc.
It covers both the ernest Christian seeking to know more of God and the pagan diving deeper into demonic worship.

For 'mystic ' to be fundamentally opposed to Christianity one would have to add qualifing factors.

Anyone who spends time in bible study, extensive time in prayer can legitamently be called a mystic, it is only habit that stops us using the word.
