<p>I have only one question. How cloud Zuko see spirits. In the first book He saw Aang and Roku's dragon, but how? o.O</p>

I don't remember Zuko seeing those spirits. It was Iroh who saw them.

<p>My guess is he probably made friends with a particular spirit and that spirit allowed him to go into the Spirit World and he liked it so much, he stayed there. Eventually, after staying there so long, he himself turned into a spirit.</p>

<p>I wonder if Iroh's connection to dragons allowed him to see Aang, Roku, and Fang while in the spirit world. The only spirits that I can remember that were seen in the physical world are Hei Bei, the Painted Lady, Koh, Tui and La, and Wan Shi Tong. I think that we can discount Tui and La because they were spiritsrepresented in a physicalform. This is the same with Wan Shi Tong and Koh. I am not quite sure about the Painted Lady, because she was only seen by Katara, and we already know that Hei Bei was in his spiritual form. If the Painted Lady was in her spiritual form, then I believe that Katara was able to see her because of her connection with the spirit. I also believe that Hei Bei just allowed himself to be seen because of the destruction he was causing. I think that whether or not one can see a spirit in the physical world depends not only on how close to the physical world the spirit is but also its connection with a specific person or group. I think that combined with Aang, Roku, and Fang being close to the physical world, and Iroh's personal connection to dragons and his already developed spirituality, it allowed Iroh to see the spirits.</p>

<p>At first I thought the question was "How did Iroh get to the Spirit World by the time he met Korra?" and I was about to say, "meditation," but now that I see what you mean, I'm reminded that that this was one of the ideas Bryke left on the cutting room floor like Iroh's wife and countless other ideas between them and Ehasz that remind me that they either don't have the time ("Legend of Korra,") or have the time, but dick around too much ("Avatar: The Last Airbender). </p><p>I think the implication was the same incident that killed Lu Ten and probably also almost killed Iroh whether he tried to astrally find his son or the experience basically opened his mind's eye, but in either case, it was well known/believed enough for Zhao to both know and take him seriously on rather than write him off as a kook.</p>

I think, at least for his first trip to the spirit world he made a psychedelic tea, especially because he has an extreme love for tea. I think possibly meditating and having some sort of out of body Astral experience similar to Jinora. Although Jinora is an Airbender I personally don't think meditation and getting into the spirit world is reliant on that. I wonder of Zaheer achieved this.
