AS a student of the science of numerology, I find the date for national elections announced by the President of intense significance. Numerology deals with the innate energy or frequency of numbers. The science of numerology states that numbers have frequencies which impact people and events. There are no accidents or mistakes with numbers. Once numbers are chosen or selected and attached to some event, their frequencies are entangled with that event and provide a window on the energetic potentials surrounding that event.So, when the president declared Monday 11th May, 2015 as the date when Guyana’s national election will be held, a set of numbers and their energetic frequencies became entangled or “locked in” with the election. Let us look at what the numbers say from a numerological perspective.

First off, the election will be held on a Monday, the first day of the work week, and this is represented by the figure 1. Now, in numerology, 1 stands for “new beginnings”. This means that this year’s election will result in the beginning of something new. This does not necessarily mean the installation of a new government. What it mean is that Guyana will definitely be moving in a new direction, catapulted by the energy of a new consciousness.

Now, even if you say that Sunday is the first day of the week, and Monday is the second day of the week, then Monday becomes represented by a 2. In numerology, a 2 represents duality, standing between the old and the new. In that case, the election places the Guyanese electorate in a position between the old energies of racial division and the new energies of harmony and reconciliation. And a 2 also stands for balance, which means that the election will result in a balanced approach to our ethnic situation, mutual respect and the recognition that our racial differences must not prevent us from living in harmony with each other.

If we cannot agree on whether Monday is the first or the second day of the week, then let us combine the numbers 1 and 2. This gives 1 + 2 = 3. The number three in numerology represents a catalytic energy. An energy catalyst provides the push for transformation of one energy to another, yet never changes itself. It causes something to change because of its presence. So, our 2015 national election provides the dynamic for an absolute change in our national life.

The date is the 11th of May. In numerology, 11 is called a Master Number. It represents illumination – an elevated enlightened state from which people and events are seen and interpreted. And so the pervading energies of the 11 begins to give the Guyanese electorate an enlightened perspective from which to view the election, the parties, their candidates, the future of the country, and how best to respond with their votes.

May is the 5th month of the year. And 5, in numerology, represents CHANGE. So, my friends, change is written all over this election – change for the better!

Now let us consider the year 2015. When we add 2+0+1+5, we get 8. And an 8 in numerology represents achievement; near to the end; the blending of two worlds; and infinity. Applied to this election, the meaning here is clear. The results of this election will represent an achievement – bringing Guyana near to its goal of blending our different races and cultures into one people, one nation, with one destiny. And the possibilities open Guyana will henceforth be endless. It is all in the numbers.
