Realm of the Sunlight of the Spirit

Where is this Realm mentioned in the book of "Alcoholics Anonymous"?  I believe it is the Kingdom Within talked about by Jesus Christ and so many others.  I believe it is real, not a theory. The interior space, not outer space.

I l-o-v-e the 1999 movie "The Matrix" starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.  This movie seems to perfectly describe the spiritual warfare between living in the BONDAGE OF SELF connected to its artificial life-support mechanism called "addiction" vs living in the FREEDOM OF SPIRIT connected to The Source of All Life called the "Higher Power" (or whatever you call it).  Fascinating.

Every morning I get to choose "between the red pill or the blue pill".  I have the responsibility...the ability to respond...to make a decision...stay in the dis-ease of fear, hurt, hate and resentments or take full flight in the freedom of love, healing, acceptance and forgiveness soaring above it all, buoyed by the "wind beneath my wings" called GOD's grace.  A private self-torture hellhole chamber all in my head or the Realm of the Sunlight of the Spirit in my heart?  Which is it going to be?  Just for today, this minute, this second...?  One day at a time.
