Thank you very much, I will mend it later.
I learned the term first of course in Jenseits von Gut und Boese by Nietzsche, later I found the small writtings by Freud called Jenseits von Lustprinzip. I guess the term Jenseits has been so used in German soil. Indeed it's philosophical rather than practical. When I looked it up the term -Jenseits, I was able to find the meaning of outside, that world, etc. But as to the meaning of beyond, I was unable to find the noun which refers to the underworld, gehenna, besides the English translation was 'Beyond Good and Evil' 'Beyond Pleasure Principle' so I thought there's no noun usage in beyond.
Now I look it up in dictionary.com. I found the noun. Twenty years ago I looked it up in a middle size dictionary, where certainly I couldn't find the noun usage. I should have done it in Oxford English Dictionary.
Later on when I found the movies called 'Beyond' I thought the term might refer to the noun meaning of the hereafter, but it was just a matter within a movie, I didn't mind it. Many years later when I came up with the idea of use Jenseits, I thought about the word 'beyond', I could have titled it as 'beyond' But just I didn't like to confirm again what the meaning the term beyond contains.
Now I clearly know what the beyond means. It was not beyond my capacity.
