THe Spirit World

[heibai]

What is the spirit world? I want to discuss possible theories and interesting things you might think. ;D An afterlife? Who are the major and minor spirits? THat meditating monkey? so many unanswered questions.

[Athanar]

The spirit world... I think it's actually just a world parallel to the Avatar world that the spirits exist on, a higher plane.

[heibai]

ah...but what about the past lives of aang? i've seen them there. Perhaps that's just an avatar thing. ;D

[Athanar]

Each avatar has a different spirit, but they're all linked. Once an avatar dies, he or she lives in the spirit world from then on.

[heibai]

Yea i knew that, but what about the Gaang? I'm curious as to where they would go. AAng might not see them again! in an afterlife, that is.

[Athanar]

Avatars might not be able to, but it's possible that he might be able to see them again. It somewhat depends on where humans go.

[heibai]

Somewhat? I'd say it would depend absolutely on where they went. ;D

[Athanar]

Well, we also don't know everything about where avatars can travel, or if they can get spirits from one spiritual plane to another (aside from past avatars pulling present avatars into the spirit world).

So. What if the Avatar world has the spirit world and Heaven, and the spirit world is just in between Heaven and Earth? Then the avatar would have to travel between Heaven and the spirit world. So, if Heaven exists in the series, it would depend on his powers. Therefore, it only somewhat depends on where humans go. Get it?

[heibai]

got it. sounds like you've been thinking about that. What about the spirits themselves? their creator, families, are they gods of a sort? I'm leaning towards another type of people.

[Athanar]

Perhaps they always lived on that plane of existence, like a flipside to Earth?

[heibai]

thats what i was thinking! ;D
