I don't know what textbook you're using - but you should check out Dr. Markert's book (a .pdf may be available online), I found this book to be very helpful for taking PHY 301 and tutoring PHY 303K.
Hi! Judging from your question, I don't think you want a story-book. You want true fundamental understanding. I think the only way to do that is to pick up a university level Physics textbook.
If you have no background whatsoever and you want a mathematical understanding, here is the textbook we used in my University class: [Physics For Engineers and Scientists] (https://www.amazon.com/Physics-Engineers-Scientists-Third-Vol/dp/0393930033).
Why do I think comprehending reality necessarily requires understanding the mathematics? Because it requires the minimum amount of assumptions and everything else is systematically proven. From a minimum set of beliefs, you build such wonderful results to explain why the world works the way it does. You can describe celestial motion using only three laws: F=ma, gravity and Conservation of Energy! And what's more, you don't even have to take these on faith. You can do home experiments to verify them!
Well, the course itself uses http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393930033/
however,
http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Physics-David-Halliday/dp/0471216437/
is also really good.
