For sure many students of Gnosis after a while see Gnosis and the Gnostic centre or school as something very constraining.
Students may see that their life in Gnosis is more difficult than before when they were 'free'. That may well be true...
In truth, being a member of a Gnostic centre is more constraining and does make your life more difficult. But for a reason!
The reason is one of intelligence. A wise person or a person defined to progress in their studies choses an environment of constraint. To keep from them from straying from their goals and to firmly establish themselves with the spirit and ethics of the way that will lead them to their goals.
For example, a person on a diet will lose weight quicker if they place themselves within an environment that limits their bad eating habits. This is an intelligent choice, made in favour of the end goal.
All the constraints of Gnosis and the Gnostic centre propel one to awaken consciousness and to dissolve their defects, as almost all the defects clash with constraints if we can call them that in Gnosis.
For the radically defined, the stronger the constraint the deeper the psychological death.
Another paradox exists: the more constraints, the more the consciousness is exercised to produce results and or a creative solution.
