The term 'self-loss' is used in psychological, spiritual, and literary contexts in both American English and Brazilian Portuguese. In spiritual traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism, meditation practices), it often carries positive connotations related to enlightenment or transcendence. In psychological contexts, it may indicate dissociation or depersonalization, which are typically viewed as symptoms requiring attention. Brazilian culture, with its rich spiritual traditions, frequently employs this concept in discussions of meditation, spiritual growth, and personal transformation.
