There are several common uses of this word.



The first simply means "farther on". I might say "The turn is just beyond that hill" to state that the turn is on the other side of a nearby hill.



I might also use "beyond me" to mean "unattainable". For example, I could say "I don't know how doctors can know so much about this subject. It's beyond me!" or "Making a million dollars a year is beyond me."



Finally, "the beyond" or "the great beyond" can be used to mean "the afterlife". For example, I might say "She has passed on into the great beyond" to imply that someone has died.
