Yes. The extraordinary changes we are going through are the effects of this.

On the outside, we see a breakdown of structures, loss of trust, confusion, anger, and aggression rising.

Inside, we are going through positive, profound, painful changes. We are getting fed up chasing material things. We are letting go of our victim consciousness. We are becoming more independent mentally and emotionally. We are letting go of our traumas. We are finding our way back to a natural and humane way of living. Just to name a few of the changes.

This shift we are experiencing is not just the usual ending of material cycles. This is different now.
The key difference, I believe, is that in previous endings, we were still in a state of mind that still wanted dependence, and so we still went back into dependent states of mind. The difference now is that we are stepping into a next phase, which is about becoming independent and separate (did you ever wonder why systems are separating and not merging currently?). This drive for separateness and independence may sound awkward at first as we all seek unity. Yes, the ‘final’ phase is that, but before that, we need to let go of dependencies and become independent. These stages are nothing new on Planet Earth; look at the phases of mitosis, for instance.
