A lot of other people are saying this theory:

Aang died when Azula shot him with lightning (S02E20) and thus, a new Avatar was born: Amon. However, when Aang was revived, his abilities came back to him, so Amon lost his bending, but retained his spiritual abilities, which is why he can (supposedly) take away people's bending and resist bloodbending. That's why Korra is struggling with achieving spiritual enlightenment: Amon has her spiritual side! It's a pretty good theory that I think some anon came up with.
