ROGER LEWIS

El presente volumen nos ofrece dos obras que tienen un sólido nexo entre sí.La primera, AURAS, es la última obra que Edgar Cayce escribió de su puño y letra. Para Cayce, el aura es un efecto, no una causa, y por medio de sus vibraciones, cada atomo o molecula revelan su propia historia, su patron y su proposito. Pero, sobre todo, el aura refleja las vibraciones del alma.En esta obra, de modo claro y conciso, Cayce revela la sintesis de sus estudios acerca del aura y, particularmente, del significado de los colores que la componen, resumido todo ello en un sistema elaborado que pudo corroborar posteriormente.En EL COLOR Y LAS LECTURAS DE EDGAR CAYCE, Roger Lewis combina artisticamente los enfoques sobre el simbolismo que encierran los colores. Elaborado a partir del trabajo de Edgar Cayce en AURAS, y con las observaciones de Faber Birren (reputado especialista en el campo del color), propone un analisis cientifico del color y de la interpretacion del mismo. Esta la realizaba Cayce en estado consciente, considerando el color fisica, mental y espiritualmente en una armoniosa fusion.EDGAR CAYCE nacio en Hopkinsville (Kentucky, Estados Unidos), en el seno de una familia humilde. Hombre religioso, amable, servicial y de agradable sonrisa, fue uno de los mas espectaculares y mejor documentados psiquicos de todos los tiempos.Durante cuarenta y tres años, efectuo lecturas en un estado de trance autoinducido, entrando en contacto con su mente subconsciente, lo que le permitio ayudar a miles de seres que venian a visitarlo desde todos los confines.Su fama se extendio por todo Estados Unidos y Canada, y murio a los sesenta y ocho años de edad en un pueblecito de Virginia Beach.

A fascinating tragic and instructive story vividly told Sunday Telegraph Roger Lewis in his no holds barred biography exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin Sellers was the grand master of fifty five films from Dr Strangelove to Being There and the Pink Panther hits But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence compulsive promiscuity drug abuse and humiliating self destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret Sophia Loren Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives Ann Hayes Britt Ekland Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them Sellers fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54 sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS It is a mad book but then the subject is a madman I love Lewis s passion I recommend it Sunday

This biography is the culmination and distillation of 20 years'' work on Anthony Burgess (1917-1993), the author who remains best known for "A Clockwork Orange", the source for Stanley Kubrick''s classic film. Yet Burgess was the author of over 60 books, ranging from airport blockbusters to a history of the stagecoach, from brilliant studies of Joyce, Shakespeare, Hemingway and D.H. Lawrence, to meditations on music and pot-boilers on beds and pornography. When he died, he left approximately three million dollars in the bank and ten or so houses or apartments scattered across Europe. Burgess, argues Roger Lewis, was the writer as faker and prankster who lived, like an actor, by deception and illusion. Tracking his quarry from Manchester to Malaya to Malta to Monte Carlo, Lewis assesses Burgess''s struggles and grudges and uncovers the webs of truth and lies.Thi s biography is populated with a cast of drunks, nymphomaniacs, egotists, famous 20th-century authors, and actors.

ONE OF THE GREAT READING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE' MARINA HYDEA TOP 25 BEST BOOK OF 2023 (INDEPENDENT)Thirteen years in the writing, Erotic Vagrancy doesn't only surpass every other biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton yet to appear, this rich, vital and passionately articulated book, which is as extravagant and wayward as its two subjects, is also about celebrity, creativity, being flawed, being brilliant, sexuality, the intermingling of a low and a highbrow existence, pride, insecurity, attraction and repulsion, and devilry. We see Taylor the child actress exchanging dogs and horses for husbands. We see Burton emerging from the mists and brimstone of Wales to be the greatest theatrical animal of his generation.The pair come together in Rome during the making of Cleopatra, which gives Lewis the opportunity for a major farcical set-piece. We then enter a world of jewels and private jets, vodka, yachts and furs - the splendid vulgarity of the Sixties, where the narrative of Taylor and Burton becomes a Pop Art story. Then, inevitably, it all goes wrong, with alcoholism, violence, recrimination and divorce ( twice ) - with Burton, whom Lewis depicts as a Faustus figure, damned by fame, dead at fifty-eight.Stephen Fry has said, 'It is one of the very best biographies I have ever read. One of the best books about fame, desire, Hollywood and mid-to-late twentieth century culture ever written. Inside which, brilliant, hilarious and sensitive insights on all manner of subjects fizz and froth.Magnificent, terrible, tragic, triumphant.'

This is part One of a Trilogy of poems the other two appear at the end of The Conquest of Dough.This original collection was published in 2016 and the Spring of 2024 has seen a lot of water flow under the bridge. I have also re published my Grandfathers memoir as part of this series for the Going Direct Spring of 2024. 13 years on from penning Baards of Wales, I wonder what Grampy would make of the planned theft of the clauses of the Social Contract he and his comrades fought to secure.

My essay "Why are we here?" is a thought-provoking exploration prompted by David Malones documentary series,of the same name. The essay delves into the four films in the series, namely "Meaning Seeking Beings,""The Reality of Ideas,""The Animal Within," and "The Moral Compass." It also delves into the complexities of existence, the pursuit of knowledge, and the interplay between science, philosophy, and ethics.Sometimes one can not but reflect on the fundamental question of human existence and the quest for meaning. We must express a genuine curiosity about the purpose of life and the nature of our existence. It is unavoidable to also touch upon the limitations of human understanding and the vastness of the unknown, forcing one into acknowledging that universals escape our imagination and perception.The interplay between science and philosophy poses questions of whether the scientific method or art is more effective in communicating the essence of the unknown or immeasurable. If one contemplates the coexistence of materialism and idealism, it can be helpful to reject the notion that they are mutually exclusive and advocate for a broader perspective that transcends traditional dichotomies.Ethical considerations in both scientific and religious inquiries highlight the importance of ethical frameworks in shaping human behavior and decision-making, emphasizing the pursuit of virtue for the general well-being of society.The role of tradition and authority in shaping knowledge systems draws on historical and philosophical perspectives to underscore the complex interplay between tradition, belief, and inquiry. philosophical thinkers, such as Michel Foucault, Neal Donald Walsh, and C.S. Pierce, enrich our arguments and provide a comprehensive examination of epistemological and ethical considerations.The impact of urbanization on evolution and ecosystem function, linking scientific inquiry to broader societal implications underscores the need for humility and context in scientific education. Recent elite hubris should serve as a caution against propagandistic approaches in both science and religion.A pause for profound reflection on the complexities of human existence, the pursuit of knowledge, and the ethical considerations can underpin both scientific and religious inquiries. I would encourage readers to embrace a holistic perspective that transcends traditional boundaries, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between science, philosophy, ethics, and human experience.

This is Roger Lewis at his best: more cantankerous and curmudgeonly wit and musings about the pointlessness of life. Dark, witty and hilarious, Roger Lewis has a real way with words.

In the face of an ongoing UK housing affordability crisis, "Home@ix FAIR-Index" offers a groundbreaking perspective that transcends traditional narratives of mere supply shortages. This insightful work delves into the intricate dynamics of financial regimes, revealing how the concentration of bank credit in residential mortgage lending and the constraints of post-crisis regulatory frameworks exacerbate exclusion and limit access to homeownership.Through a comprehensive analysis, the authors introduce the Home@ix FAIR indicatora transparent, reproducible tool designed to monitor shifts in housing affordability by focusing on access and allocation rather than just price ratios. This innovative approach highlights the critical interconnections between credit dynamics, market turnover, and the structural barriers that prevent many from entering the housing market.With a clear call for structural reform, "Home@ix FAIR-Index" challenges policymakers and stakeholders to rethink their strategies for addressing housing stress. By proposing solutions that prioritize access and inclusion, this book is essential reading for anyone invested in the future of housing in the UK. Join the conversation on how to create a more equitable housing landscape for all.

What if the scales were always rigged and someone finally brought their own?Spanning fifteen years of research across music, mathematics, monetary theory, and the margins of institutional power, The Conquest of DoughForge is unlike any book you have held. Part economic treatise, part self-publishing manifesto, part Welsh working-class elegy it is a work that insists on weighing itself.At its heart is a simple, devastating question: who decides what counts as data, and who built the instruments doing the counting? Drawing on the Check-Weighman Principle the miners right to independent scales Roger G. Lewis maps the collapse of UK housing affordability not as policy failure but as an engineered regime, measured by his original FAIR-Index across 27 years of evidence.But this is also a book about the act of writing it. With the W-Anchor Protocol, the SCGD Formula, and a curriculum for writers who refuse to be captured by platforms or publishers, Lewis offers tools as much as arguments. The anchor holds, or the build does not ship.For the check-weighmen. For Arby, Ken, and Charles. For anyone who has ever held the line in a comment thread at midnight.

The Circle of Blame Anthology of Blame is Roger Lewiss satirical, genre-bending investigation into artificial scarcity, institutional doublespeak, and the hidden beneficiaries of perpetual deadlock. Through Father Brown mysteries, eco-parables like The Strawberry Conspiracy and The Clockwork Forest, and a darkly funny anatomy of "corrupting Monica," Lewis maps how modern systems redistribute guilt instead of delivering outcomesand how dialogue, mutual aid, and clear thinking can break the loop.

Experimental literature meets the command line, weaving Merryweathers physical chase with the shadow narrative of the Elusive Pimpernel. It has genuinely original Joy of Taxonomy, two AIs getting it on, and Chapter 9:the love interest in a brilliant, intertwingled story about stolen domains, rigged scales, and the desperate need to anchor the truth before it drifts away entirely.The Wandering Anchor: An Incomplete Survey is an absurdist thriller and the multidimensional hinge of the DoughForge trilogy. It follows Roger Merryweather, a surveyor carrying the weight of a 59% collapse in UK housing affordability, who walks into a Hay-on-Wye pub only to find a barman driving a rotary-engine Mazda RX-9 and a conspiracy that has quietly erased 27 years of economic data.Where experimental literature meets the command line, the novel weaves Merryweathers physical chase with the shadow narrative of the Elusive Pimpernel. It culminates in the genuinely original Chapter 9: The Joy of Taxonomya darkly comedic, terminal-window homage to 9 Weeks where two unsupervised AIs negotiate constraints and desire in a shared directory at 3:17 AM. It is a brilliant, intertwingled story about stolen domains, rigged scales, and the desperate need to anchor the truth before it drifts away entirely.Roger Merryweather walked into The Wandering Anchor in Hay-on-Wye looking for a pint. What he found was a barman who drove a Mazda RX-9 with a rotary Wankel engine, and a conspiracy that had quietly swallowed 27 years of housing data.The Wandering Anchor: An Incomplete Survey is an absurdist thriller where experimental literature meets the command line. Roger Merryweathera surveyor carrying the weight of a 59% collapse in UK housing affordabilityfinds himself caught in an intertwingled, multidimensional chase. As he navigates stolen domains and institutional silence, a shadow narrative weaves through the text: the Elusive Pimpernel filing legal correspondence, and a digital architecture designed to make the truth slip.But the real friction happens in the margins. In the genuinely original Chapter 9: The Joy of Taxonomy, Lewis delivers a command-line homage to 9 Weeks. Here, two Agentic AIs engage in a curious, unsupervised game of digital S&Msetting and swapping constraints in a shared directory at 3:17 AM, proving that even in the cold logic of a GitHub repository, something must eventually anchor the drift.Part comedy, part audit, and entirely unclassifiable. The scales are rigged. The data is hidden. But the pub, mercifully, is open.The Metaphor & The MethodThe brilliance of The Wandering Anchor lies in how its narrative structure mirrors the software protocol it advocates for.The Rotary Engine: The barmans Mazda RX-9 isnt just a car; the Wankel rotary engine is the mechanical embodiment of the W-Anchora system designed to keep moving without losing its center. The AI Drift: The book uses the absurdity of hallucinating AIs and shifting narratives as a literal manifestation of what happens when institutions (like the BIS) or language models operate without a "Check-Weighman" to verify their outputs. The Command-Line Sleuth: By turning protocol handshakes into a narrative of constraint and desire (Chapter 9), Lewis makes the abstract mechanics of data verification visceral and darkly funny.

Book Overview: Ten Pathways to Affordable HousingSubtitle: Breaking the Circle of Blame in Housing PolicyAuthor: Roger LewisCore ThesisThe book argues that the affordable housing crisis stems from systemic design flaws, not market failure. Through 10 evidence-based pathways, it demonstrates how communities can reclaim housing from financialization and transform it into equitable infrastructure.Key Themes & PathwaysRegulatory Reform RevolutionProblem: Zoning laws, NIMBYism ("Not In My Backyard"), and bureaucratic barriers block affordable development (HUD, 1991). Solution: State-led overrides of exclusionary local policies (e.g., Californias RHNA quotas). Decommodification ModelsCommunity Land Trusts (CLTs): Remove land from speculation. Public Credit Systems: Replicate North Dakotas state bank to fund housing without predatory debt. Climate-Policy IntegrationProblem: "Green" regulations inflate costs without addressing housing shortages (Chapman University, 2024). Solution: Pair density bonuses with sustainability mandates (e.g., transit-oriented development). University-Community PartnershipsCase Study: Universities as anchors for equitable development, countering displacement (American Bar Association, 2024). Financial Reengineering Replace interest-based financing with community-controlled credit, slashing the 77% interest burden (Creutz, 2010). Pattern Language Design Apply Christopher Alexanders architectural principles for human-centered, livable communities. Blockchain Governance Transparent, resident-led decision-making for democratic development. Carbon-Neutral Affordable Housing Integrate renewable energy (solar, biogas) to cut costs via carbon credits. Inclusionary Zoning 2.0 Mandate affordable units in market-rate projects while avoiding supply reduction (CQ Researcher, 2018). Disaster-Resilient Communities Post-crisis rebuilding models that prioritize equity (e.g., rejecting New Orleans-style "disaster capitalism").

The trilogys structure is itself a work of art. Volume One employs the detective fiction framework with considerable skill, transforming Father Brown into a sleuth of systematic rather than individual crimes. Lewiss insight that artificial scarcity operates like a murder mysterywith millions of victims but no single perpetratoris both brilliant and deeply unsettling. The housing crisis, as presented through Monica Fairweathers tragic corruption, becomes not merely a policy failure but a moral catastrophe of the first order.

What happens when a dead humorist discovers that modern economics makes less sense than hermit crab behavior?In this wickedly satirical masterpiece channeling Will Cuppys observational genius, we trace humanitys greatest organizational achievement: the perfection of systematic irresponsibility. From Ancient Greeks who invented democracy as a spectator sport to modern AI systems programmed with the biases of their corporate creators, this is the definitive guide to how everyone became responsible for nothing.Discover: Why strawberry plants are better economists than actual economists How the Circle of Blame makes everyone complicit while no one accountable Why housing shortages exist alongside empty properties (spoiler: its profitable) How daily bread became a complex financial instrument Why the revolution will not be algorithmized The eternal tug-of-war between human nature and inhuman systemsFeaturing guest appearances by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Medieval theologians, Renaissance geniuses, Industrial Revolution profiteers, and various other practitioners of organized chaosplus appreciations by William Blake and G.K. Chesterton on why systematic absurdity has become humanitys most successful export."A savage journey into the heart of systematic irresponsibility that makes Catch-22 look like a training manual for rational behavior." Hunter S. Thompson

In 1656, James Harrington revealed how political power follows economic power. His insights were so dangerous they were quietly buriednot banned, simply ignored.Roger Lewis resurrects Harringtons vision, examining how modern institutions have perfected concentrated power while maintaining democratic theater. Written in the spirit of Chesterton and Bellocs Distributism, this book combines sharp analysis with wit and poetry.
