Hi Rob. (Don't we already have a Rob? Guess not...) My suggestion is throw away all your books, especially books about zen and Buddhism, and seek out a competent teacher (with the emphasis on 'competent') and get instruction on zazen (zen meditation). Of course the best case would be that you find a teacher right in your area. I'd suggest you do this first even if you have to go out of your area to find a good teacher. You can get a good foundation of how to sit zazen in a weekend at the right learning center. That would do you for a while. When you're ready you could go back for more instruction and guidance.
