A Man Isolated Himself From Society For Over 25 Years in the Desert. What He Reveals Inside This Cave Is Incredible!

(Before It's News)

A man isolated himself from society for over 25 years, living in the desert. What he reveals inside the cave he carves is incredible! In the high desert of Northern New Mexico, you can actually hear the sounds of the hand tools being used to sculpt the underground shapes as you stand above the location where a man entranced in his work is carving out a new cave.

On the surface, you will see a small entry into one of his caves, a portal that opens into a deeper and wider cavern, where Ra Paulette has spent most of the last 25 years carving out the New Mexico sandstone into magnificent underground art and living spaces. With a dog as his only daily companion, he has spent many years doing this work, supported by numerous patrons and living above ground on the nearby mesa.

When asked if he is a man obsessed with cave digging, he gives the really thoughtful response,: “Is a child obsessed with play?”  He waxes on to say that when you love what you are doing, you are driven to do it all the time.

He sees his majestic pieces as environmental projects. His goal is to inspire people so they open up emotionally in response to the enormity and power which his carvings evoke.

It can be said that he has created magic in the underground caves he has carved. They are at once intimate and overwhelming.

Interestingly, Ra does not see himself as an artist, but simply as a man expressing his sense of wonder in a passionate way. I would beg to differ with his opinion that he is not an artist. What he has created is livable art of unbelievable power.

The video you are about to watch tells the rest of his story, and gives you a tour of his magnificent caves. Unbelievably, his carving work had no notoriety until a filmmaker asked to do a documentary about Ra. Called “Cave Digger”, the film ended up being nominated for an academy award! 

 

Please share your reactions to this story, about a peaceful man with an artistic eye, whose dedication to his craft has become his life purpose.
