To be fair I was thinking the same, but just wanted to check. I don't for one minute think we'd be allowed access to the cosmic force for example.

When we're talking about the cosmic force, the life after death example: it wouldn't make sense for a padawan or a knight to be in tune with that kind of power. If you made a Master, perhaps. Perhaps they're somewhat close to being able to access such a thing as that could make sense with their abilities. As always, it's about steering clear of the OP-line. 

As for the question about the Living Force, again it's about the OP-line. I will allow those certain capabilities. Though, keep in mind, in this era any type of Jedi that preaches a balance of dark and light probably won't be viewed so favorably. It's not too long after the Exar Kun War, after all.
