They main point is to find a Guru that will teach you.

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

I highly recommend the book "Introduction to Tantra," by Lama Yeshe, as well as "The Crystal and the Way of Light," by Namkhai Norbu, which I notice has already been recommended to you. Start praying for the right teacher to show up. You can say Padmasambhava's mantra for this purpose also. Probably your two biggest allies are internet search engines, and ASPIRATIONS.
