here is the information I am looking at, in his diagram, I understand what is going on, except for the part near the right side labeled "(-) return" .
I you follow that (-) return line all the way to the left in your posted drawing you will see the 'ground' symbol, looks kind of like a upside down tree.
Now this 'ground' may not mean that it actual goes to earth ground somehow, but it could. What it really means is that the (-) side is hooked to the 'circuit common' and all other voltages are referenced to this common. When a voltage lead is labled say +12 in means a positive 12 volts referenced to circuit common. Again that common may or may not be to 'earth ground' potential, but that is another topic in it's self.
Clear?
