The best way to learn meditation is to do meditation.
It's an experimental science.

Teachers are good, and important, but rarely necessary until you've done a bit of work. Frameworks can be helpful, but also deceptive.
Find a good set of basic practices and stick by them. There are many time-tested alternatives.
The rest should follow from diligent practice.

Eventually, if you work your way into solid fundamentals, you won't really need teachers, nor a framework, nor a plan.
You just keep practicing. The process does the rest of the work for you.

Eventually, the process becomes the practice and the practice becomes the process and then all you need to do is not stop until feedback loop into cascade into feedback loop into cascade into the big unknown...
(Full disclosure: I've been stuck on this step for a while myself.)

The paths are all relatively clear, all fairly well-charted. The problem is walking them.
Much of the metaphysics, philosophies, religions and so on are mere commentary, footnotes, anecdotes.
Existing more for their own purposes than for the benefit of you, the practitioner.

(Except, of course, that in some paths the metaphysics and the philosophy and so on *are* the practice.)
