Hi Basajaun,
Welcome on the band-wagon. Your all doubts are perfectly valid and acceptable.
And now that you are feeling comfortable, I'll direct you to this thread for discussing the objectivity issues in AP - http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17727&highlight=verification
Its my experience that majority of guys here are of your type, rational and open-minded, plus very creative. The 'I'm right-you're wrong' thing is tempting, but it saves time and bandwidth if one jumps straight on the subject, not on the people. You know 'the great minds discuss ideas' thing.
As far as the question of how to start is concerned, there is tons of info on it in this forum and on internet and in books. So there is no point in asking for help when everything is already served in front of you.
AP is a lot like a fun ride in a theme park initially, but to gain something useful from it is very difficult, its a lifetime business. There is some reason no-one on earth could prove its objectivity, given that so many civilizations lived and died without even doubting its existence. Perhaps this is the right time.
