I have heard many people say that.
In reality Gnosis is knowledge which is neither negative nor positive. So Gnosis is not negative. It is just the way that it is presented or the way it is perceived.
Knowledge does not harm or injure anybody. It is all how it is used does not benefit or injury arise.
The negative - that is 'bad ego' has been focused on a lot, because that is what is the cause of so many problems and so much suffering and there are so many people that focus on the light and forget the ego and still suffer and cause innumerable problems to themselves and others. So it is focused or empathised so that people get the message.
The work of dissolution is a large part of the work. However that does not have to be negative. The work of dissolving the "I" is about doing the opposite and giving the values which is really affirming the essence within us - which certainly is not negative.
It could well be that people present Gnosis in an unbalanced way, that is with too much of a negative tone - how so much is wrong with people and society, how corrupt it is and how taken over by sleeping consciousness it is.
If we affirm the Inner Being in us Gnosis can be presented realistically as showing the problem and straight away showing the solution which immediately gives hope, light and faith in possibility instead of everything being doomed to failure.
