It's true that knowing and not knowing can both bring one closer to understanding, and this is an especially important concept in the practice of Dzogchen. As a practitioner myself, I believe that there are certain states of consciousness or awareness which exist beyond the realm of ordinary concepts like "cause and effect" or "thought vs. no thought." For practitioners who truly internalize these concepts - to such a degree where they actually feel natural, effortless, and intuitive - liberation from all dualistic notions is possible. It takes time, patience, discipline, and concentration - but once you get there it's like you've stumbled upon an secret knowledge that was actually always within your reach!
Some great points mentioned by Longchenpa here when he speaks on purely existing awareness above practising for attainment once we realize this pure presence we see how all phenomena truly subsides... Poetry...
Ah well seek indeed but as long as one remains attached seeking knowledge for True Liberation will never make sense to them until purely Awakening occurs thereby differentiating seekers from Discoverers who acknowledge If SEEN According To Direct experience Why SEEK !?
