If you were cognizant of Classical Indian Philosophy (predates Western Philosophy by several thousand years by some accounts) -- Adi Shankara would be one of the stalwarts you would have encountered. He espoused Advaita Vedanta and brought about a huge revival of Upanishadic philosophy and Uttara Mimamsa school in general.
As far as Western Mysticism goes -- I don't really know much about it, except what I've read seems to indicate some form of self mutilation or repressed sexuality (during the middle ages) or the classical mind-body divide (another shining aspect of SOM?). Please note, there is no offense meant here.
