There comes a time in one's process when one is so completely alive, completely awake, that every motion, movement and thought carry an amazing synchronisity with the rest of the Universe.
Nothing is too small or insignificant.
Everything has meaning, and a message. You will find yourself walking around in
that state of bliss which was attributed to Saints and Holy Men and Women through out the ages. This is not an experience limited to those who have achieved "earthly perfection"
This is the Divine connection, and it is for everyone and everything.
This is Joy.
Paradoxically, it will seem that the closer you are to your own divine nature...the fewer people you will have in your life that will be capable of sharing this wonderful journey with you.
One of the things I hear most often is " I can't relate to my old friends any more, or , I have to hide what I'm feeling and thinking because my family doesn't understand it."
It is human nature to push away and fear the unknown. There is always comfort in a group conscience, where you can "see" your acceptabilily through the eyes of the group, because they are the same as you. When you change that , when you break away from the group spiritually and philosophically, yes, you are going to feel lonely.
One of the sole defining features of a spiritual awakening is that no matter how much you read or study this teacher, or belongs to that group...the most profound and exciting epiphanies will come from the inside, from your own spirit and heart. That is why it is called the journey within. It is almost mandatory to be alone, at least philosophically, while you process and internalize this new and wonderful way of being. It is important that you truly know your own truth from the inside out.
When all these things start to happen, you will unconsciously be vibrating at a higher level. This will cause many people to feel uncomfortable around you. You will be different, but outwardly the same. You will find that many of the things you did before don't hold a lot of appeal any more. A lot of your friends and family will start calling you "weird".
There are millions of people going through this spiritual Awakening. Each journey is individual, and different, but each journey is the same. You are not alone. There will be times in between your Awakening and Your Becoming when you feel alone, but that is only an Earthly illusion.
You will find like minded people every where, but in order to know who they are, you have to put yourself out there. Don't hide what you think and feel. Don't assume that the guy next to you on the bus is a thousand miles away from you, you may only be separated by your fears of being thought "weird".
Be who you are, the traveler, the seeker, and know that you can find your answers and your support in the most unlikely of places. Be that person you are looking for, let your light shine out like a candle in the darkness, and you will not be lonely any more.

You really do hit the nail on the head. I keep being amazed, and amused, at how things turn out by following my instincts. As I learn to trust my instincts, that lonely road isn't so lonely. The spiritual gifts far out weigh the loneliness. I still find it difficult to communicate to others' my beliefs. I will learn to voice things better, right? Practice, practice, practice. At least I know I am growing. Love ya Gloria!
