Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.”

why should i lie about it? i am a priest and the son of a priest. if there are spirits, as they say, in the small dead places near us, what spirits must there not be in that great place of the gods? and would not they wish to speak? after such long years? i know that i felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line. i had stepped out of my body—i could see my body asleep in front of the cold fire, but it was not i. i was drawn to look out upon the city of the gods.

which theme is reflected in this passage?

sons must try to follow their fathers.
men strive to speak to the spirit world.
maturity is a result of being courageous.
spiritual experiences can lead to greater understanding.
