How easy is it to lose yourself?

And that kinda assumes that you know yourself...
Do we go thorough fire and ice to become a mess of warm slush...
The process of reconciling passion and reason could be said to be the art of philosophy; the aim: to be able to live with oneself and others. Perhaps not in perfect harmony but well enough.
How easy is it to lose yourself when 'in love' ; when emotions can overwhelm any logic.
How easy is it to lose yourself in books or research, pursuing any 'truth' - to the detriment of any personal relationships?
How easy is it to detach from any further self-exploration, values and beliefs, when you think you know it all.
How difficult is it to accept that there could be some kind of 'spiritual force' which might be there as a 'guardian' and intervenes in moments of crises. When you think to yourself - wow, that was weird. When you feel yourself as part of a flow. Without control...
Your 'self' as almost a nothing.
How easy would it be to lose yourself in a feeling - not based on evidence - that you are comfortable being 'held' in some kind of a protective bubble?
