Unknown Horizon: The Gospel of Thomas in the perspective of Jewish Kabbalah

This book is written not for transcription or translation in grammar. Instead, it is written to reflect the illumination of Jewish Kabbalah, Lurian Kabbalah in particular, upon the gospel of Thomas so that it can be read by Kabbalistic term and thought which were mystical tongues of Rabbis such as Rashbi (רשב"י) and Ari (האר"י). It is described by lots of Kabbalistic languages which it will not explain all the meaning of the words one by one since it is already defined in many Kabbalistic texts such as Sulam commentaries, TES (Talmud Eser HaSephirot; תלמוד עשר הספרות), et cetera. It is recommended, therefore, previously studying them individually or in a faithful community via the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh; רוח הקודש). Though this book is not enough to say such a pearl of wisdom, it will endeavor to share a piece of it. It is possible since Torah is one, but there are lots of tastes and scents emitted from it in Paradise (PRDS; פרד"ס). It referred to one hundred fourteen sayings of Yeshua thanks to Brown Interlinear Coptic/English translation created by Thomas Paterson Brown, and another English translation composed by Stephen J. Patterson and James M. Robinson. It compared two translations and cited them mostly, and edited some of them selectively. It preferred the raw translation because it is more helpful to interpret precisely. The primary Kabbalistic texts and commentaries, such as Sefer HaZohar (ספר הזוהר) and Sulam commentaries published by Kabbalah Center, were cited to examine the mystical tradition. Moreover, many Kabbalistic symbols and meanings introduced in this book are found on them.
