to think only
In the giver it is important for a community to have a personn who has the capacity to see beyond, because then the community has someone who has the capacity to keep their memories
Jonas's community has no colour in it, it is all equal, they have "sameness". So the capacity to see beyond means that Jonas was able to see parts of his community the way they should be, with colour and such. That's why he can see Fiona's red hair.
The capacity to see beyond refers to the ability to think critically and imaginatively, to consider possibilities beyond what is immediately apparent, and to envision alternative perspectives or outcomes. It involves being open-minded, creative, and willing to explore ideas that may challenge conventional thinking or beliefs. This capacity can lead to greater insight, innovation, and understanding in various aspects of life.
The Capacity to See Beyond is the ability to perceive beyond the ordinary senses in The Giver. This gift allows those who possess it to see colors and memories that have been hidden from the rest of the community. It is a rare ability that only a few individuals have.

Having someone who can see beyond benefits the community by providing fresh perspectives, innovative solutions, and a broader understanding of complex issues. This person can help navigate challenges, identify opportunities, and inspire others to think outside the box, ultimately driving progress and growth within the community.
This is a metaphor in the sense that you can apply it to a situation. The idea of looking farther than something your eyes have the capacity to see or see normally, is doing something extra, taking that extra step.
"With her hand still firmly on his shoulder, the Chief Elder listed the qualities. "Intelligence," she said. "We are all aware that Jonas has been a top student throughout his school days. "Integrity," she said next. "Jonas has, like for all of us, committed minor transgressions." She smiled at him. "We expected that. We hope, also, he will present himself promptly for chastisement, and he has always done so" "Courage," she went on. "Only one of us here today has ever undergone the rigorous training required of a receiver. He, of course, is the most important member of the community: the current receiver. It was who reminded us, again and again, of the courage required" page 62 Also Jonas has the Capacity to see beyond.
In "The Giver," the Receiver must possess qualities such as intelligence, wisdom, courage, compassion, and the ability to withstand emotional and physical pain. They also need to have the capacity for selflessness and a deep sense of empathy for others.
Jonas realizes he has the capacity to see beyond when he starts experiencing the stirrings of emotions that are suppressed in his community. These stirrings allow him to feel things deeply and connect with the memories transmitted by the Giver, leading him to question the limitations of his society and develop a broader understanding of the world.
Jonas had to have intelligence, courage, integrity, the capacity to see beyond, and the ability to receive memories deeply and without distorting them to become the Receiver of Memory.
