To judge by our behavior, it's "loss of self" -- i.e. encountering a situation in which we do not know who we are. I say this because what I actually observe in myself and others is lots of clinging to ideas of self. "This is who I am, and I'm very attached to that idea, and if you challenge it I will fight back". We get very angry and defensive when our cherished ideas about ourselves are challenged, and become fearful when we confront our own doubts. All of that is a symptom of this disease: fear of self-dissolution. Even death doesn't compete in many cases -- lots of soldiers will risk life and limb in battle to preserve their view of self: "I'm not a coward. I am sacrificing for my country". Those ideas are more real to the soldier than their own life in some cases. It's better to die in front of the cannons than to face the loss of identity. Only by appreciating the deep grip of this addiction to identity can someone begin to make progress on freeing themselves from that prison.

Fear is always about "future" only. There is no fear at the "present". Fear itself is the creation of mind. Mind is again the bunch of thoughts. In a thoughtless state there in no mind or fear.

Man's greatest fear is the fear of not being accepted. Second is the fear with time. The third is the fear of impending loss. Everything else is based on it. In the final leg of every journey you will meet yourself. Learn to accept yourself.
