Intra Muros by Rebecca Springer

2020 Reprint of the 1898 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Subtitled My Dream of Heaven and At a time before popular discussion of and research into near death and after life experiences was in the popular consciousness, Rebecca Springer courageously and faithfully penned this account of her own passing into the light.

Arranged in chapters as a loose narrative, Intra Muros comprises a series of dreamlike episodes and reflections upon the essence of life, death and what comes next after we perish. Steeped in the Christian tradition, the author's narration discusses the spiritual planes that follow death, and her descriptions of heaven are evocative and reassuring.

The appearance of the heavenly realms, the blessings of the angelic spirits, and the journey the believer's souls render the author's words profound and evocative. The imagery is vast in scope, yet the emotional comfort she provides remains constant. For Christians who are bereaved through the harrowing experience of loss this comfort is especially welcome.

Rebecca Ruter Springer was a poet and author who published fictional stories and verses. Much-liked and gentle of nature, she suffered from infirmity of health for decades, and her condition was often infirm. This fragility occasioned her to contemplate death and the path the soul takes after the body expires; these reflections resulted in Intra Muros, which has been consulted by Christians ever since.

Rebecca Ruter Springer (1832-1904) first published her vision of heaven in the early 1900s. Mrs. Springer was unconscious for some days while the vision was unveiled to her; the vision itself covers a period of years. Rebecca Springer said each person would need to draw his or her own conclusions about the vision, but she had reported it as it had come to her at the time. She came to understand the vision as a series of basic instructions about heaven rather than a revelation of the past or future. She said the initial instructions from the vision came in the form of illustrations, in a style as if one were teaching truths to children. Then, the application and meaning of these illustrations were given. Rebecca wrote, I am painfully aware of the fact that I can never paint for others the scenes as they appeared to me during those wonderful days...with the hope that it may comfort and uplift some who read, even as it then did, and as its memory ever will do for me, I submit this imperfect sketch of a most perfect vision.
