|[[Leras]] explaining the relationship between the [[Cognitive Realm]] and the Beyond to [[Kelsier]]{{msh ref|1|1}}
}}
The '''Beyond''' is an unknown location that the people of the [[cosmere]] are drawn to after they die.
== Transportation ==
When a person dies, their mind is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]], though they are not always visible to other people in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|11427}} This includes near-sapient lifeforms like [[Ryshadium]]. Less sapient lifeforms may also experience this process, though that question is a matter of debate among philosophers.{{wob ref|8313}} For most people, this time in the Cognitive Realm is nothing more than an "in between" step, as their mind is soon pulled into the Beyond.{{msh ref|1|1}} When they go to the Beyond, they appear to stretch toward an unseen, distant point that defies geometry that has also been described as "nothingness" and "eternity."{{msh ref|6|8}}{{msh ref|1|2}}{{msh ref|6|2}} People on [[Scadrial]] appear to turn into white mist as they stretch.{{msh ref|1|1
Before someone moves on to the Beyond, their Cognitive aspect can be returned to their physical body with the proper [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|5888}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} Being killed by an unsheathed [[Nightblood]] can prevent that from happening,{{wob ref|10440}} though it is unclear if it also prevents a person's mind from going to the Beyond. [[Vasher]] has considered that question before, indicating he may be aware of the Beyond to at least some extent.{{wob ref|5074}} If someone uses [[Forgery]] to make themself die, they will not come back from the Beyond when the seal breaks,{{wob ref|1601}} and it seems unlikely that there is anyway for someone to return from the Beyond.
[[Allomancy|Allomancers]], [[Feruchemy|Feruchemists]], and people who had a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike in life can remain in the Cognitive Realm longer before being pulled to the Beyond, while those where were the victim of a Hemalurgic spiking cannot remain as long.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{wob ref|1528}} [[Silver]]s can resist the pull of the Beyond indefinitely, though they can still choose to go and still feel the pull of the Beyond when seriously wounded.{{wob ref|3841}}{{msh ref|6|8}} From this, it is possible to infer that the amount of [[Investiture]] a person has or had in life determines the length of time for which they can resist the pull of the Beyond.{{wob ref|11427}}▼

== Shards and the Beyond ==
While the [[Spiritual Realm]] is not the same as the Beyond, that distinction isn't necessarily immediately obvious to [[Shard]]s.{{wob ref|1729}} It does not seem exceedingly difficult to at least grasp the basic premise, however, as [[Harmony]] came to understand the difference within moments of [[Final Ascension|his Ascension]].{{msh ref|6|9}} Learning information about the Beyond itself, however, is at least exceedingly difficult and may be impossible, even for Shards.{{wob ref|6556}}{{wob ref|2717}} Harmony, at least, still has not learned anything about it, though he considers going to it a kind of adventure.{{book ref|mb6|28}} [[Ruin]] claims that [[Mare]] "longed for Kelsier to join her in the Beyond," but it seems likely that he was simply lying to manipulate Kelsier and does not actually have knowledge of what occurs in the Beyond.{{msh ref|4|4}}
== Known Travelers ==
* [[Rashek]]
* [[Goradel]]
▲*While trapped in the [[Well of Ascension]], Kelsier refers to [[Ruin]] as "the thing Beyond,"{{msh ref|2|1}} but this is likely a misnomer as a Shard's power is concentrated in the [[Spiritual Realm]].{{wob ref|6304}}
== Trivia ==
* The relation between the Beyond and the [[God Beyond]], like most questions about the Beyond, is currently [[RAFO]]'d.{{wob ref|6555}}
