Eugene Paul Richardson's 2018 Testimony

of Mauricio's visit with Rafael and Moroni

Everybody, this is Eugene Paul Richardson. I'm using my former publicity page for my music now for spiritual things. And although I use the name Eugene Paul Richardson, the name that I was given, my native name, is Juwani Gullah Suli. And so, I go by both.

At this time, I wish to give a witness about the Joseph Frederick Smith experience. And I will also, hopefully, we have a gentleman, yes, Samuel S. Gould.

He is one of the witnesses that has seen and handled the Golden Plates. Unfortunately, I wanted to have him on live, but we're having technical difficulties. So, after I give my little witness, any questions he answers or asks, I will answer.

And later I'm planning to have him come on and give a witness such as this live. But anyway, because of technical difficulties, I have actually told this story three times, but I'm going to do it again. Each time I tell it, it's a little bit variated, but it's all the same story.

But many years ago, I was involved in an auto accident. I was hit by a drunk driver in a head-on collision while going to work. And because of that collision, I had to go through seven operations.

I had to learn to walk again. I laid in bed for two years, and I was in a wheelchair for three years. And I was very much bored with life, being stuck in a bed for two years, going through the surgeries and everything, not being able to walk, because my feet were destroyed and had to be rebuilt.

I got very bored. Television, that was dull, boring. After a couple of weeks, I just couldn't stand it. And I loved to read. I was an insatiable reader. Science fiction, fantasy, all kinds of genres. But even then, I got tired of the stories because it wasn't real in my mind. They're fun as an escape, but not as a constant.

The one thing I did do is I turned to scriptures. And I started reading them deeply, intensely, and unbelievably, from cover to cover. I started at Genesis and went all the way to the end of the Pearl of Great Price. For those that don't know, I grew up in the mainstream Utah Mormon church. And so that was my spiritual background. But I studied different religions from around the world. So, I have a vast base to draw from.

But I read, and I read, and I got to know the prophets. I got to know their stories. I would see little nuances. And every time I read, I got a little deeper understanding. And I learned it's like a stairway. You're at one level. You read it. Next time you read it, you're at a different level. And pretty soon, your understanding opens up.

But I got to realize these prophets talked. They talked to deity. They talked to angels. They were taken in the spirit and shown things. They got to meet with the Savior, first spiritually. And if they developed enough, physically. And I'm going, okay, that's an experience I want. How? And I prayed.

And being bored, being stuck in a bed, I prayed like Enos. I mean, I had nothing better to do. And I prayed all day, all night, all day. And I prayed. I figured I'm going to pray until I get an answer. Something that children do, obnoxious children and some adults I know, is when they want something, they bug you and they bug you and they bug you until they get it. Well, I figured I'd do that with the Lord.

But I kept apologizing, saying, well, you tell us to do this in Scripture. You give us examples of it in Scripture. And I kept at it. But you know what? He did give me an answer. And it was a real answer. One night I was praying and I asked one of these prayers about the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. Because I'd read all the Scripture. I'd been reading them for over a year. And so, I was intense.

I knew the Scriptures. And I could speak with the Lord. The Holy Ghost would answer. But I wanted more. I wanted to know. Well, that night the Lord came and I was taken out of my body.

Like Moroni and others in Scripture, where they went and they talked to an angel and they were taken and shown things. Well, I was taken out. Call it an astral flight. Call it quantum plane. Call it spiritual experience. Whatever you want. I had one. And it was just like those in Scriptures.

And I was taken to a jungle. And I was up in the air. I was not on the ground. And I was told, wait here. And I was confused. Wait here. Okay.

And then a car pulled up along a road. And it was off. And the man got out. And he started walking toward the forest. Like he was heading for a mountain. But the sun went down. And as the sun went down, he became lost. I could still see him. But he became lost. And he became scared. And he started wandering in circles.

And it's interesting because he started praying. But I knew his thoughts. I could feel his heart. I could hear the words of his prayer. Now when you're in the spirit. And you're on an angelic plane. You're spiritually alive. Call it being psychically awake. And to be spiritually dead is to be cut off. Not knowing, the world around you. To be spiritually alive is to have communication. To have connection. To have an open knowledge of things as they are. And you're connected with people. You know when the Lord says you're being one. You are. Psychically you become one. But anyway, that's another subject.

The man prayed. And then the Lord answered his prayer. I beheld from the vantage point of Raphael. And he took his hands. And put them together. And he started rubbing. And as he rubbed. It was like an energy that you could feel. And he let his hands go. And as his hands spread. The light burst forth. A beautiful light. A sweet light. Bright and pure. Brighter than the sun but softer.

It didn't make the whole night light. But it lit up the area bright. And made everything easy to see. And the man Mauricio Berger (as I was to learn) went and started. Raphael the angel that had created the light, he took his arm and he pointed toward the mountain. And I heard a voice. I heard a voice of God. You know. And it shook my whole body. From head to toe.

But the thing is. Mauricio went up. He climbed. He struggled up the mountain. And when he got there. There was Moroni to meet him. And Moroni gave him the instruction. I wanted to yell. I was exultant. I was exuberant. I was full of joy. My prayer was answered.

But not only that. Here I was beholding the angels. Moroni. I just. I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to rush over. But I couldn't. I was held in place.

My exuberance, my joy was kind of stifled. I couldn't talk. Because it was not my place to do anything but witness and behold. I wasn't to disturb the moment. Moroni was there. And he gave Mauricio the instruction. And he left. And Moroni left. I wasn't able to talk to him as much as I wanted to.

And then the voice of the Lord came again. And said tell no one until after this is revealed to the world by the people involved. That voice shook me. It was a normal voice. It wasn't loud. It wasn't you know like the still small voice that the scripture says. It was a quiet voice. It was a calm voice. It was perfectly peaceful. But yet my bones shook. It was like an earthquake in my soul. And my bones burned. Burned. I knew it was the voice of God. So, I didn't tell anybody. I locked it away in my chamber of spiritual experiences that I cherished that helped me to know that there is a God and he does live.

And I also know and I testify to you. Mauricio Berger had that experience. I was there to see it. When Joseph Smith was told and brought to it. What he was told is true. I've seen those plates. I haven't physically been there. I've never met Mauricio. I didn't meet Joseph Frederick Smith until just a couple weeks ago. And this happened years ago. I had no connection. No reason for knowing him. No reason for putting this testimony except it's my witness, because God showed me.

He showed me for a reason. So, I testify. I know it's true. When the witnesses gave their testimony that they've seen and beheld the plates. I tell you with my witness. It's true. So that's my story.

And now I'm going to give comments in the comment section. Because this time Samuel is here. And he's saying, would you describe for me what Moroni was wearing when instructing Brother Mauricio. He was, it was a robe. Kind of like Joseph Smith explained. It was not exactly like the one Joseph Smith. In fact, I didn't see the open breast. It was more over both shoulders and covered. And he had a sash belt that opened. But he stood there above the ground. He was in, it was clothes like he would have worn in his lifetime. But they were clean. They were bright. They were beautiful. But they felt natural. They were just, you know, it's something like he'd worn this during his lifetime. It was regular clothes. I hope that answers your question.

But the thing is, did Brother Mauricio shake Moroni's hand, Raphael? No, he never shook Raphael's hand that I saw. He was there. And Raphael, what I beheld at that time was up in the air. May have happened after I was not there. But when I beheld it, no. He was up in the air at that time from the vantage point where I was at.

Moroni's hand? They were talking. And they were close. And there was the sign. And I remember a hug. But I don't know if it was that time or another time. I've seen several experiences. Believe me, this is way back a long time ago. That I saw it. In fact, I actually saw it before it happened. Because where the Lord is, there is no time. But I don't remember Raphael. But I remember the interaction with Moroni and Mauricio.

Sorry, I'm trying to be as clear as I can. And that's clear as mud, I guess. But that's the way.

Do you have another question? I know that they talked. I know that Moroni did instruct him for a little bit. But so far, that's all the questions I have.

There was some discussion we were having earlier, Samuel, that I was looking forward to also. About things. And unfortunately, I wanted to ask you about the cover of the sealed portion still. But I don't know.

But I don't know. Raphael being there. And shaking the hand of Mauricio. I didn't see that part. In all truth. I saw the hands, the light, the pointing. And the instruction. And giving encouragement to Mauricio. I'm trying to remember. Did he go down? I was overwhelmed. With what I saw. But I don't remember him at that time. I know he and Mauricio talked at other times. But not that time.

It was like Nephi. Taken to see the tree of life. And talking with the Holy Ghost. It is not Moroni. Although. It is not written. So, if I said Moroni. When I was saying that.I misspoke. Because it was like Nephi. If you get to know me.

You will know at times. I will transpose names. When I'm talking to people. I do that unfortunately. With my dyslexia. And things. It makes it confusing. In fact. I have gotten really familiar with the scripture.

That says. They make a man an offender for the word. For a word. Because I'm usually the one. That will misspeak a word. And someone will say it can't be true. Because he said that. It doesn't mean it is not true. It just means they want to be judgmental.

I would love to tell you of the plate. But not in text format. Yeah, I understand that. But. The thing is. This I know. That it did happen. And that the Lord spoke to me. And that it is true. I also know. That the LDS churches. All of them. Mainstream Mormon. Utah Mormon. The others. They are all out of whack. They don't want to accept that fact. But there are too many scriptures. That support it. And they are maintaining their bailiwick. You know.

Was it Jeremiah. I was in the scripture. 20. I believe it is. Jeremiah 20. And take me a minute. To find it here. I hate reading. Because when you are watching a video. Someone is. Let me see. No. It is not 20. Let me check. Ezekiel 20. No, it is not Ezekiel 20.

I had my scriptures earlier. Open to the one. And it is not. But basically. To paraphrase. The Lord. Tells us. That when he. Unfolds. What he unfolds. It is not going to be. What people expect. It will be. Actually different. And when that happens. It will be. Like the idols. And people. That have sacrificed to him.

The best example I have is the children of Israel. And the Samaritans. You know. In Christ's life. He. Spent two days. With the Gentiles in Samaria. Now everything happens. Is a type. It is. A pattern. That gets followed. God is not one to change. Something that is successful.

And during Christ's. Ministry. The pattern is. That. He spent two days with the Gentiles. Now we learn in the New Testament. Two days unto the Lord. Or a day unto the Lord is a thousand years. Think about it. We have come two thousand years. In the time of the Gentiles. Now the time of the Gentiles. Is drawing to an end. Two thousand years drawing to an end. But something happened.

A year later after that event. Where Christ talked to the Gentiles. When he talked to them. They all knew he was the Christ. They knew he was the Messiah. They all said now we know. This is the prophet. That we have been waiting for.

A year later He is going to Passover. He sends his disciples to buy food. And what happens? The Gentiles say oh good. The Messiah has come. To celebrate Passover with us. And the disciples said no. He is going to Jerusalem. He set his face to go to Jerusalem. And when he set his face. To go to Jerusalem. They got mad. Wait a minute. You are going to celebrate in Jerusalem. We have Mount Gerizim. We worship at Mount Gerizim. You should come. Worship Passover here at Mount Gerizim. With us. But because he was going to fulfill scripture, they got mad at him. They wouldn't even sell his disciples food. So, he could get to Jerusalem.

What does that mean to us today? We have had two thousand years. And now the Gentiles. Want God. Jehovah. To fulfill. According to the false traditions. They built up over two thousand years. You know. Oh this is going to happen. And that is going to happen. And we are going to build up Zion. And God is going to come to us. Because we are the righteous people. No. God is going to do exactly what the prophet said he was going to do. And fulfill it in that way. So he is not going to fulfill it in the way that everybody thinks. It is going to be fulfilled. That is the lesson of the Samaritans. There is a couple more. But that is the one that everybody misses.

Now is the time. Of the Gentiles. It is. Over. And we want it to happen our way. It is not going to happen our way. We have angels now. Confirmation and testimony. I know it is late. And you have been under two hours of pressure to get the technology going.

Yes Samuel. But you know what. This is God's work. It doesn't matter. This is the only thing that matters. Like my Aunt Nellie says. A great Aunt Nellie. She was my grandmother's cousin. If it doesn't matter in 300 years. It doesn't matter. This work is going to matter in 300 years.

Whatever obstacles are in the way. For us to overcome. That means it is worth doing. No matter the sacrifice. Confirming. Sometimes I have such a depth of scripture. I rattle them off. But I don't give the reference.

Now. We await the fruit. Exactly. We are awaiting the fruit. The fruit. Needs to come forth.

There is a video I will be doing. I have done it a couple of times. It is about. Becoming pure. The pure in heart. Most people don't know what pure in heart is. They don't know what repentance is. They think they know. But they don't. To be pure in heart. Is to consider what is pure water. Water that has no contamination.

In fourth Nephi. I might as well say it now. I don't want to make this too long. In Second Nephi chapter four. Nephi says. Why does my soul give place. To the enemy of my soul. Words to that effect. That hit me. Because the Lord says. In other scriptures. I will give them a new heart. Instead of a heart of stone. A heart of flesh. Meaning a heart of spirit. I will make them a new man.

In Jeremiah it says. In order to know me. You have to become a new man. You have to have a different heart. I put those all. With my base of knowledge. I came to realize. We give place to evil. We give place to wickedness. And then. Every man is right. In his own eyes.

As scripture says. Because we are right in our own eyes. We become blind. To the worldliness. We give place to in our heart. The book of Mormon clearly teaches. Satan has only one power. He has power over the hearts of the children of men. In the millennium. We are told Satan will no longer have power over the hearts of the children of men.

Putting that together we give place in our heart for some worldly desire, some worldly need, or some worldly gain, some benefit that we think. Then we become blind to it. It becomes our personal pet.

Sin. We feed it. We nourish it. We pull it out and pet it. We shake our finger and say bad sin. When it causes us to do something. But we don't really. Care about getting rid of it. We give it place. And by giving place to something like that, we cut ourselves off, from our redeemer. Our exemplar. Our adopted father. Our Messiah.

And. If you want to be pure in heart. You cannot give place to this weakness, to these things that hold us back. You know, it's interesting, when God called Samuel. To call. Saul. You read the story of Saul. How he's looking for the lost donkeys. And then it says. Samuel anointed Saul. And he became a new man. He gave him a new heart.

Then Saul went and prophesied. With the prophets. And they got a new heart. They became new different men. And the Lord tells us in Jeremiah. We must become a new man. How do you become a new man? God gives us. What we ask for. If your heart's desire. Becomes. To be a new man. If your heart's desire. Becomes no longer to harden your heart. As a heart of stone. But to become a spiritual heart. Of flesh. If your desire. Is to no longer give place to your enemy. Our common enemy. No longer. Keep your pet sin. Cast it out. And you pray for it. With all your heart. The Lord will give it to you.

And then you will have a pure heart. I love you brethren and sisters. Those that are watching. Those that are seeking the Lord. I'm adding my witness. My testimony. I'm adding everything.

Samuel saying. Some have. A person. To rush to judgment. And in that they fear we are to judge by the fruit, the results, and it is coming forth very soon. The fifth of the daughters of Zion, the filth of the daughters of Zion and the traditions and the precepts of men that have found root in our hearts.

Isaiah 43, Isaiah 43 indicates these traditions and precepts cause the blind that have eyes and the deaf have ears, the beams in our eyes. I am amazed at the last of precepts that I had to repent of right out of my heart with the help of the spirit of God. I've begun to list them and pray that sanctification of my heart will be complete.

Amen, Samuel. Amen. That's what we need to do.

We need to stop looking at others. If you're looking at another person for any reason, you're blind. We need to judge ourselves with the judgment that we judge others with and turned the blind eye that we turn to ourselves to others.

But in our judgment, we must not condemn. Instead, we write it down and say, I need to correct. Let's face it.

When you play a video game like Mario Brothers or something and you die, you don't sit there and condemn yourself and throw yourself in prison. You say, dang, you reset and you go again to overcome the obstacle. That's what God wants us to do.

When you're playing that video game and you fail, you judge yourself. Why did I fail? You don't condemn yourself. And then you pick up and you do it again. 

When you're learning to ride a bike or you're learning anything that you want to succeed at, that you have succeeded at, isn't that what you do? You judge yourself why you didn't succeed. You don't condemn yourself. You pick yourself up by the bootstraps and you say, okay, I did that wrong.

Now I'm not going to do that wrong this next time. And you do it until you succeed. You know, there's a thing, you fail your way to success.

That's how we do it in the mortality. But we do it by judging what we did wrong without condemnation against ourselves. Why can't we do that to ourselves spiritually? Think about it.

That's how you gain the celestial kingdom. That's how you become pure in heart. That's how you learn to love one another and to become one.

So, I will tell everybody, good night, goodbye, good day. Whenever you watch this, God love you. God bless and keep you. May he keep you in the hollow of his hand. And may we all continue to judge ourselves without condemnation until we can get that baptism of fire.

So, when the Lord comes as a consuming fire, we can stand with him rather than becoming ashes under his feet. God bless and keep you all. Good.

Good night.
