So I've been looking at a bunch of theories on Amon as of late and I remembered something very interesting. I don't think that Amon is energy bending. Rather, he is blocking chakra(s). I'm not sure if he is blocking more than one chakra but if you recall the 6th chakra is insight. It is blocked by illusion. The greatest illusion of them all is separation. The main separation in Legend of Korra is the separation between benders and non-benders. It is a theme throughout the show. This would also mean that Amon's effects aren't permanent. Also, Guru Pathik also stated that there is an illusion of bending itself. For example, metal bending is simply earth bending but in a different variation. This means that chakra blocking could be a variation of chi blocking which we have seen Amon do. I don't know. This in my mind makes the most sense.
