I would advise you to have patience with yourself. Whenever you move from worldview to another, there's always going to be the tendency to wish for something familiar. That's natural and it's going to happen for a while, but as time progresses and you pursue your studies and practices, that will change.

You just need to have patience for yourself, it will come in time. 3nodding

One of the first things that I need to say about Buddhism is that there is nothing that you are required to be, to be a Buddhist. There is nothing that you are required to believe to be a Buddhist. There is nothing that you are required to do to be a Buddhist. Indeed, the actions, the celebrations, the things that Buddhists do vary wildly from country to country. What follows is not Zen, or Tibetan, or anybody else's Buddhism. It may not be your Buddhism. It is Mike Young's buddhism.

I have to disagree with that, one must be logical to be a Buddhist.
