<p dir="auto">It seems that the lots of Thelemites believe that after death we will be reincarnated back on earth. Here's the question, What do you think happens if the earth gets  utterly destroyed by an asteroid or something similar? Would humans still incarnate in the physical realm?</p>

<p dir="auto">Jokes aside, I don't think there's any such sort of "consensus" among Thelemites regarding this subject. It's a matter of  individual opinion and experience.<br />
My personal stance is: there is alien life  <img src="https://thelema.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f600.png?v=b470f3dfed9" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--grinning" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":grinning:" alt="😀" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The answer largely depends on your definitions of "alien" and "life".</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't know that there is one - certainly nothing official or generalizable to Thelema per se - unless it's implicit in things like the above.</p>

<p dir="auto">Somewhere - maybe in <em>Liber Aleph</em>? - Crowley specifically endorses the view of planetary transmigration. The Mass goes further, and lists as options after death, "...the labor and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star."</p>

<p dir="auto">.an other planet might get in earth's place and function and be the "new" earth. Earth as we know it(the particles involved) might recompose itself into an other planet of different function</p>
<p dir="auto">.for humans who were anyway to be reincarnated they might according to timing either reincarnate on the "new" earth, or on a distant one already existing</p>
<p dir="auto">If there is a necessity there will be a way to fulfill it.</p>
