I had not really thought much about it before...certainly not before Bart's throught-provoking thread on Afterlife...
But my mind is really on this life. And I guess in my writing, I talk about characters who have to learn to deepen their relationship with the multileveled, interlocking realities of this world...or of the experience of the worldlines of the world, the strange density of its being, the strange otherness of even everyday things: parties, patios, appliances...
I guess I take a round-about way of getting at this worldly density...but I think evoking that density is one of my main motives for writing anything at all.
