"Not exactly. More to the point, we already are part of... Everything."
He gestured, to include the party and everyone in it, the gardens beyond, green with their own kind of life. Everything. But not just this, everything, from the deepest fires in the belly of the world up to the highest stars, and the veil, and everything on either side of it. One sweep of the hand was more than merely inadequate to illustrate the point; so, he continued.
"The Force isn't just a source of power, and it's not... Not really like any Maker, or god," He pauses slightly before the last, uncertain of the philosophy. Obi-Wan was a practical man, though his faith ran deeper than most, and he knew that it would be impossible to explain if he somehow offended. No one likes to be told they're wrong, "It's the driving actions of everything and everyone that's ever lived, that's living now, or that will ever come to be alive; we create it, while it also creates us. That's why a Jedi can occasionally know the future, or look deep into lost histories. We truly don't die, we just... cast aside the physical, in a way."
There was a pause, faintly embarrassed.
"...And, I'm lecturing you now. I apologize, it wasn't my intention."
