Many people say that they are Gnostic and according to the general spirit of Gnosis which is to know oneself, they are Gnostic. Yet Gnosis without a lineage doesn't work for the path.
Gnosis with a lineage connects us to the path. Especially when those of the lineage walked the path.
Gnosis without a linneage is like a lose thread blowing in the breeze. The end goal is difficult to see and stability is hard to come by.
All those masters who were before us, all belonged to a lineage and walked the path because of their connection to that lineage and because of the support of that lineage.
The guru is a link in a lineage that goes all the way back to the source of the one where the final liberation is. Furhermore the guru connects us to that linneage, where the guru's role is to make us into a link in that same lineage.
Gnosis without a lineage doesn't in the end really go anywhere. All those people who in the end leave Gnosis without a lineage, mostly don't really end up where they originally wanted to end up.
End (5881).
