Description
The Third Eye, an inner eye is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna chakra in certain Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. NO !
WAIT! Keep reading. OK. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness.
The Third Eye in reality is the Pineal Gland. YEAH, I KNOW YOU KNEW THAT, BUT KEEP GOING. It is the spiritual Third Eye, our Inner vision and it is considered the seat of the soul. It is located in the geometric center of the cranium.
The Third Eye is a natural part of every person - it is a meta organ. IF YOU STOP READING NOW YOU RISK DAMAGING YOURS! It consists of all the senses and mind working together as a larger more powerful sensory organ. Stopping now would reveal your spiritual WEAKNESS! Keep reading.
As a sense, it can be used in many different ways. It opens up our senses to patterns around us. It’s used by seers to make connections and answer questions. It’s used by energy workers to feel the energy and then manipulate that energy.
SO! If all that seems just a wee bit esoteric for ya, consider the fact you can find The Third Eye on the back of all them Washington's clogging up your wallet.
Really. Take a look. Right?
If you have bothered to get this far, you are well on your way to enlightenment. Sadly, I know from 10 years of experience on FAA, 98+% of folks who scroll through photographs don't bother to read beyond the title. For those I say: enjoy your Tik Toks and your 30 second attention span ! Then again, those folks would have no idea what I just said. For those of you still with me, you may be thinking to yourself, "Hey! Great prices at this diner! Where is this place?” The better ask would be, Hey! Where WAS this place, and what have I missed? Sorry. It's gone. Had your Third Eye been finely tuned if you were in Portland in the early 80’s, you’d be humming along to “Bette Davis Eyes” and “Urgent” , and it would have delivered you here:
ACAPULCO'S GOLD
2610 NW Vaughn
Portland, OR
OK. Phew ! Good work! Your Third Eye has guided you this far. Now it is up to you to find the cover of this menu entitled ACAPULCO'S GOLD on the first page of my "On The Road" collection. Yeah, it's the one with the sombrero'd character, partaking. There (still with me?), you will READ the epic story of the players and times that made Portland truly weird, and perhaps achieve a rudimentary understanding of the gastronomic bliss that was Acapulco's Gold.
With love, Joe.

Great description - especially the "NO! WAIT!". It, and of course "The Eye In The Pyramid", reminds me of Illuminatus by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. I assume that despite its total lack of seriousness (or was it?), that book kicked off the whole modern Illuminati thing.

I found myself reading just about this entire menu...either I'm hungry or this is a great shot---actually I'm not really that hungry so it must be the latter

With all those delicious offerings I sure wish they were still around to stop by and sample. Interesting info and an awesome image.
