SPIRIT

Perhaps, and this is only a guess, loneliness of spirit is a state wherein the self begins to feel acutely its perceived separation from the One. In such a case, this type of loneliness would not easily be placated by means of sharing energies with others. Rather, it is the primary connection between the entity and the One that is being sought.
This type of loneliness would in all probability, if understood to be the absence of the Creator in the entity's life, motivate the entity to begin a lifetime process of ardently seeking the truth... or, if the loneliness was misconceived, it might lead the entity into darker corridors of chemical sedation and escape.
Good thoughts, Gary. Let me add my 2 cents on your ideas of Loneliness of the Spirit. Recall that the spirit is actually new, upon emergence into 3rd Density. This is not the case with the body and the mind, as Ra points out on several occasions that the mind/body complex exists in 1st and 2nd density (an interesting concept, that of rocks having consciousness, but a topic for another thread).
Given this fact, that at entry into 3rd Density the spirit is "new" (in terms of the Archetypal mind, the "Significator of the Spirit" is pristine), I would translate loneliness of the spirit as being a spirit in such a state (same concept as yours, just a slightly different perspective). The pristine spirit is hungry for spiritual experience, to begin its quest of choice, as it were. The feeding of the young spirit is accomplished through random Catalyst, potentiated by lightning flashes in the dark. As time moves on, the spirit grows lonely again whenever it fails to receive regular catalyst to it help polarize sufficiently to transcend 3rd density and move closer to the One.
Have we not all experienced this "The Dark Night of the Soul"? To me, that Dark Night (another interesting topic for a different thread, about Pop Culture as relates to the homophones of "Dark Night" and the latest Batman Movie "Dark Knight") is the mental manifestation of this spiritual loneliness, and is the root of all our 3D experiences which help us grow toward 4D.
As you said, food for thought,
