One of my earlier realizations was that I could not really be defined. Later on looking at the fact that we only really live now, I realized I was not actually in time. Later still I realized that I was not really living in this world, that I only thought I was; iow the idea of being someone living somewhere is only a thought construct.
Of course these realizations took some time to clarify and were some years apart, but they progressively certainly reduced the fear of being.
Hope this helps.
