It Is (not) a Wonderful Life - Unlike George Bailey, there's No Sense of Belonging
"I don't belong."
That's typically the lament
which surfaces when the Ace of Pentacles comes up in a Tarot reading. At
least that’s a core interpretation by Jessica Dore in the 2021 guide “Tarot
for Change.” That is, the longing to be a part of.
Not feeling like you belong can
be among the most painful human experiences. That's one reason why the film "It's
a Wonderful Life" continues to resonate. That dates way back to1946
when it was produced.
In essence, George Bailey, a building
and loan banker, has been blessed. He knows he belongs to the community of
Beford Falls and its economic future, the financial institution’s customers,
his family, and his belief system which includes acceptance of what isn't
evidence-based. That sense of being a part of is what helps save him (along with
the nudges of Clarence Oddbody) when he stumbles into despair.
During the Tarot reading clients also
can pick up on what bonds them. There is always attachment. They just have to
recognize that kind of force field.
For instance, the sense of belonging
could come through their work. Currently with the dominance of life-job balance
thinking, it’s verboten to admit feeling that you feel at one with the universe
when developing new models on Wall Street or planning the strategy for a criminal
trial. But that bonding is as real and as sustaining as what Bailey experienced.
Or it could be the four-legger you rescued from the animal shelter. Here is my Arizona. The dental work I got for her has extended her life for about six years.
The good news is that you don’t
need to encounter the Ace of Pentacles in a formal Tarot reading. On your own,
you can embrace what makes you experience being a part of the whole. Those Ah-Ha
moments will pop up from your unconscious if you open yourself. Then identify
what brings you joy.
