Description
Dr. Emil Hartman’s The Creator’s Dilemma was an unusual publication in that while it targeted a mass-audience with its promises of creative growth and renewal, it was underpinned by vaguely cosmic theories relating to the powers of artists. His insistent caveat that one could only hope to benefit from these methods by becoming a “guest” at the Cauldron Lake Lodge suggests, in this editor’s opinion, that he was motivated by an ulterior agenda. Whether it be financial or another, darker purpose remains difficult to assess
