To The Blaze and Beyond
OMEGA-OMEGA
The blaze has been identified as a Mandorla, but how can we be confident that this is the true blaze? How can we be confident that there is not another Mandorla or blaze somewhere else?
Forrest said he thought of everything, so there must be a way to know that this blaze is the true, one and only blaze. He told us to marry the poem to a map, so let’s do just that.
To find something related to the Mandorla or blaze, a point on the Mandorla would be a useful starting point because of how large the Mandorla is.
He hid the Mandorla in the poem using HALO, but there is also another Mandorla in the poem using the word ROLD. According to the urban dictionary, ROLD means an “omnipresent; all-knowing being that have beyond human capabilities”, or simply God.
The ROLD-ROLD Mandorla is in the upper right hand corner of the right justified text, slightly above the HALO-HALO Mandorla, as shown below.
The Mandorla is then drawn over the ROLD-ROLD words.
The bottom corner of the ROLD-ROLD Mandorla is the center point of the HORD-HORD X. Drawing a line from HORD-HORD, passing through the center of FENN-BONES intersects the first letter ‘O’ in LOOK.
This line is at an angle of 49 degrees from vertical. Drawing the same line from the bottom corner of the blaze formed by the trees, points to two Omega shaped bends in the Arroyo. The line passes through the larger omega on the left and just above the smaller one on the right. This is in perfect agreement with the “map” hidden in the poem. The Omegas confirm that the blaze formed by the trees is the one and only blaze we need to find.
