I have to wonder, though, what is it that is so fear producing about
the various perspectives of the Course, and "Disappearance" in particular?

I think it's as Jesus says in the Course, "the ego is afraid of you",
because it "realizes" that when you discover the Truth about yourself, it
will be dispelled... will vanish into the "simply nothing" that it really
is. Pretty scary for the poor ego...... ;^)
As far as "Disappearance" in particular, I think it may be because the book
presents Course-oriented material in a very "down to earth" manner; sort of
"sit down, have a drink and we'll discuss it" -- and this makes the concepts
SO accessible (and perhaps particularly so to those for whom the Course has
not fully resonated yet), that the ego sees this as an exceptional threat.
That ol' Ego is a twicky widdle fewwah!!
