yes, traditionally there are two ways to approach God: cataphatic and apophatic
apophatic is more similar to negation of self
however, it is not the same
the idea is to remove accidental properties until one perceives the essence itself, like peeling an onion with a diamond in the middle

Dying to self versus death of self maybe?
" Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." John 12:24
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. " Galatians 2:20
" For whoever strives to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. " Mark 8:35
Lots more.
