The '''Beyond''' is an unknown location that the people of the [[cosmere]] are drawn to after they die. [[Leras]] occasionally refers to the Beyond as the '''Somewhere Else'''.{{msh ref|1|1}} The [[One]] teaches that the Beyond is the same as the [[Spiritual Realm]], though most other philosophers would disagree.{{wob ref|1729}}

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]].; Lessless sapient lifeforms may also experience this process, though they would transition very quickly and 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}} Once someone transitions to the Beyond, their [[Investiture]] returns to the [[Shard]]s and the cosmere at large.{{wob ref|8658}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} The pull of the Beyond is part of why shadows point the wrong way in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|2657}}

Before someone moves on to the Beyond, their Cognitive aspect can be returned to their physical body with the proper [[Investiture]]., both by use of an Invested Art{{wob ref|5888}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} or by the act of a [[Shard]].{{wob ref|143}}{{book ref|sa3|38}} Shards can also use their Investiture to let someone escape the pull of the Beyond without returning their spirit to the Physical Realm, though this method may require a [[perpendicularity]].{{msh ref|1|1}} Being killed by an unsheathed [[Nightblood]] canprevents preventa thatperson's frommind being happeningpreserved,{{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 a person was saved from the Beyond by the direct act of a Shard, the Shard may later choose to withdraw their Investiture, sending the person to the Beyond.{{book ref|sa3|118}} 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.

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}}{{wob ref|737}} 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}}

While all people who are not Slivers must go to the Beyond when they finally die,{{msh ref|1|1}}{{msh ref|6|8}} the transitions of the following people to the Beyond have been observed:
