JL - give it time. If you haven't studied these subjects much before, it's a lot to take in.
I recall reading a book on cosmic inflationary theory by Alan Guth. The first few chapters I thought I could grasp, the next several were over my head, and the rest was way over my head. I simply didn't have the background to appreciate the significance of some key concepts at the time.
Keep it up.
