I think everyone is forgetting what that sage told Aang about the chakras.

The 6th Chakra is located in the certain of the forehead and is blocked by illusion.

So, it is most likely advanced chi-blocking and the flashy and terrifying way Amon does it makes people believe they actually lost their bending, when in reality they didn't. Everyone keeps trying to say that the spirits gave Amon this power or that Amon is secretly a 2nd Aang or some other crazy theory, but in reality he is just a man who hates benders and a man who has studied the secrets of the ancient art of chi-blocking. We even saw in an almost side by side comparison that Amon and Aang "remove bending" differently. Assuming there is only one way to energybend, Amon isnt energybending.
