The main reason is that all readily available forms of spirituality seem to be filled to the brim with parasitic mind viruses. Spiritual practitioners routinely ask students to leave their rational capacity at the doorstep, and embrace the destruction of their epistemology.

The universe does not expose an interface that contains a manual to its API, comments to the source code or tutorial instructions for novice or expert players. There is no source that could give revelations. There is only what one can figure out using reason and observation.

Agreed, but are there tools that exist other than reason and observation?
-
Can you observe or infer any?

As far as I'm concerned you can't find truth using any interface, gnostic or otherwise. Gnostic systems, and their practices, can be useful for learning to be better at being system-fluid, and for suffering less. Rationality is useful for constructing and modifying systems.
-
Both have down sides too: Gnosticism alone is bad at constructing new and innovative systems. Rationality alone leaves the risk open to getting attached to specific systems and thinking that an individual system can ever be complete. They are complimentary, not contradictory.
