What is the change from this year attributed to?
I think this change may be attributed to many things, I personally believe there is something big going on. It may be occurring in the cosmos, it may not... however change is happening. I think more on a consciousness level. The Maya's were master astrologist, they left behind this "prediction" for the year 2012. I don't think they actually saw it as the end, they believed in new beginnings, maybe they were going to build another calendar at some point but they ran out of time. However because we were left with this number as time has approached it people have become more and more attentive to it. Many people around the world are reading up on this stuff, you look up 2012 you end up in metaphysical reading at some point. Now more and more people are reading this stuff, the ideology of self discovery is spreading. I do believe the more we look within ourselves the closer we get to the answers of the worlds mysteries. More and more people are reaching this point. I choose to see it as a time of renewal, a time of knowledge and enlightenment. A change for the better.
Then there are others who are also looking at this 2012 thing and are predicting the end. Then there's "apocalypse" for the religious, people connecting the two and waiting for something to happen. No meteor will hit the earth or floods drown us, but some crazy person can take this and run with it. Tensions are high as people watch and wait.. Politically too things are escalated. Look at what's happening in the states right now... total craziness. There is many things attributing to this change.
