I have a theory that the Avatar is two spirits combined in one body (also contributing to their power). I belive that the Avatar not only has the spirit of the planet in them but also the spirit they would have naturaly if they weren't the Avatar. When the avatar dies the Earth's spirit is reincarnated into the next nation and then the spirit of the former Avatar is the one that lives on in the spirit world to provide the next Avatar with help. I also believe that could explain why you can't bend in the Spirit World. ( side note: When the Avatar meditates to enter the Spirit World I believe the Avatar's spirit stays behind suspended in the Avatar State as the human spirit explores the Spirit World for whatever the purpose is.) (of course the only thing that could hinder this theory is that Iroh entered the spirit world) I am not sure why but I also kinda feel like maybe airbenders could enter the spirit world more than anyother nation since they are the most spiritual. (I know I am kinda contradicting myself now, but I have lots of theoris about this) And one final thought....I can't help but to think that the Spirit World is like a country club for dead Avatars. lol XD
