Summary

This quote suggests that what we perceive as fundamental truths only become apparent to us once we have explored and uncovered other truths. It implies that there is a process of uncovering deeper layers of knowledge and understanding before reaching the so-called fundamentals. It implies that the path to discovering essential truths involves exploration, observation, and examination of the many layers of reality. Only through this process can we arrive at fundamental truths that form the basis of our understanding of the world.
