Cheon Il Guk Matching

What is the Cheon Il Guk Matching?

Before ascending to the spirit world, True Father established the ongoing tradition of the Cheon Il Guk Matching as a method for young adults who grew up in the Unification faith to find and connect to a prospective Matching partner. During the Matching Ceremony, participants are responsible for finding and connecting to their spouse with the guidance of their Original Mind and the support of True Mother.

Purpose of the Cheon Il Guk Matching

From 2001 – 2012 True Parents worked to establish conditions to recreate the original standard of love and innocence prior to the human fall, a realm of absolute goodness under God’s dominion. Father prepared the foundation to launch an era of Heavenly authority on Foundation Day. The matching and Blessing of the purest young people under True Parents’ authority is one such condition, recreating the original standard of the Blessing. Father has referred to these couples as a “textbook” for the ideals of the Blessing.

Matching Method for the Cheon Il Guk Matching

In October, 2010 and again in March, 2012, Father and Mother presided over CIG matching ceremonies, but rather than recommend partners themselves, True Parents empowered and guided the candidates to identify their own future spouse. Father educated the participants on sensing and following their original minds, how to approach a prospective partner, and guided them throughout the process. He told participants that the process should happen naturally, and encouraged that if they felt uncomfortable, unclear or forced, they should feel free to withdraw and not participate. He also introduced a simple method of suggesting balanced or opposite characters, by having participants clasp their hands together and identifying whether their left or right thumb was naturally dominant.

True Mother has been presiding over the Cheon Il Guk Matching ceremonies since February 2013. She does not make any matches herself, but rather provides encouragement and support to candidates to prayerfully select their own partner from those who are gathered.
