What appears to happen more often than not is that the awakening individual feels bouts of loneliness because they still relate to their ego in a number of ways. Such as when someone continues to believe that their purpose, love, self worth can somehow been found 'outside themselves (either through material possessions and/or people). This doesn't mean that one cannot continue to have material possessions and relationships, but rather bring their happiness and love to the form in question. Regardless if they are indeed a separate ego or just a plain projection.
Instead of choosing either a 'Single Ego' or 'Multiple Ego' universe, I instead consider both valid approaches. That each work together. Because no matter how real another may be in personality, I could still be deceived (from a ego stand-point) by the one consciousness if I were to conclude that one was more understandable -or even more logical- than the other.
In saying that I believe that one could accept both possibilities, but continue to be compassionate and loving to his/her fellow living beings. No need to feel struggle between the two if you already accept a subjective reality, everyone is an illusion on some level anyway.
Hopefully that gave a different perspective (or even made sense at all).
