The following shows the main verb in bold, and helps demonstrate the meaning of the sentence through added punctuation and rewording. Add punctuation: >Whatever I have (up till now) accepted as, "most true and assured", I **have gotten** either from the senses or through the senses. Rearrange and reword: >Until now, all the things that I have accepted as reality, I **have gotten** either from the senses or through the senses. Simplify language: >Until now, what I considered to be true and real **was based** on the senses--either directly or indirectly.
