Save "לך לך - הליכה והידמות לאלוהות . Walking as imitatio Dei"
לך לך - הליכה והידמות לאלוהות . Walking as imitatio Dei

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יהוה אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם לֶךְ־לְךָ֛ מֵאַרְצְךָ֥ וּמִמּֽוֹלַדְתְּךָ֖ וּמִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑יךָ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַרְאֶֽךָּ׃

YHWH said to Avram:
Go-you-forth
from your land,
from your kindred,
from your father’s house,
to the land that I will let you see.

“Where do we find God? From where does revelation come? Wilderness or the Book? Nature or the Torah.... do we find God in printed words…Or do we find God at the original site of revelation, in the natural world, without words at all? Of course, the preferred answer would be both. But, in fact, it rarely happens that way”
(Rabbi M. Comins, A Wild Faith, 2014 (2007), p. 4)

וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יהוה אֱלֹהִ֛ים מִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בַּגָּ֖ן לְר֣וּחַ הַיּ֑וֹם וַיִּתְחַבֵּ֨א הָֽאָדָ֜ם וְאִשְׁתּ֗וֹ מִפְּנֵי֙ יהוה אֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּת֖וֹךְ עֵ֥ץ הַגָּֽן׃

They heard the sound of YHWH God [who was] walking about in the garden at the breezy-time of the day.
And the human and his wife hid themselves from the face of YHWH God, amid the trees of the garden.

האדם ראוי שיתדמה לקונו: הָאָדָם רָאוּי שֶׁיִּתְדַּמֶּה לְקוֹנוֹ וְאָז יִהְיֶה בְּסוֹד הַצּוּרָה הָעֶלְיוֹנָה צֶלֶם וּדְמוּת, שֶׁאִלּוּ יְדֻמֶּה בְּגוּפוֹ וְלֹא בִּפְעֻלּוֹת הֲרֵי הוּא מַכְזִיב הַצּוּרָה וְיֹאמְרוּ עָלָיו צוּרָה נָאָה וּמַעֲשִׂים כְּעוּרִים....

“[Concerning] the human being, it is proper/worthy/ra’uy that he should make himself resemble /yitdameh his Possessor /qono, and then he will be [configured] in the secret of the upper/exalted (supernal) form/tsurah, tselem and d’mut. For if he is alike in his body and not in his actions, he makes the form [in which he was created] a lie…” (translation by Rabbi D. Seidenberg, Kabbalah and Ecology: God's image in the more-than-human world. 2015, p. 189).

“The long walk can be taken as a symbol of the journey towards God” (Rev. R. Fennell, Camino Close to Home, 2023, p. 39)

Q. What if we are walking not "towards" the Divine, but rather "within" the Divine?
