Talk:Amon/@comment-1854947-20120423210231

I have a feeling that Amon's parents weren't actually killed by firebenders and he was just saying that to convince his followers that benders are bad. Also, I have have a feeling that he was just saying that the spirits gave him that ability just so he can justify what he's doing. After all in history people have said that some diety gave them the right to do what they do, when in reality it was them using that to manipulate people. And I think that his "energybending" is just a highly advanced form of chi blocking because the lion turtle made a big deal about the mind and heart and Amon only placed his hand on his forehead, the mind. Also, the Amon is also the second dealdliest pressure point which is on the spine and right before he placed his hand on LBZ's head he hit a few pressure points on the spine. Also as someone said up here the one of the chakras on the forehead connects to spiritual energy and bending involes spiritual energy so its possible that he did something to disrupt that chakra. That being said what can be disrupted can also be cleared so maybe its possible through meditation or something, just some thoughts....

Edit: Here's something thats might explain things better
