One question is bothering me for a while.
The question is if Kingdom of God is within us. Why did Jesus look up in heaven to pray to the Father-God? Or for that matter why did he and even Moses used to go to Mountain top?

I hear music

Would you like to swing on a star
carry moonbeams home in a jar
and be better off than you are
or would you rather be a mule

perhaps Jesus was directing us to our "higher" selves, that which is not dictated by the purely material, or "earthly" concerns of this world.

the energy of the mountaintops may have consisted of points of sacred energy, places where the vibrations or frequencies are higher.

Its all about the macrocosm and the microcosm. (As above, so below.) The solar system looks and acts much like the atom...the building blocks of all things material. Thus God is within us becuase he (or she or it or however you concieve it) exists in the space between atomic particles as well as in the space between planets and galaxies. So looking up is much the same as looking out or looking within, for there is nothing that is not God. I think the mountaintop thing is more about removing yourself from your daily routine in order to allow communication with the ineffible.
