Feminist Cosmology – The Inverted Structure of the Universe

From Sacred Order to Identity Flux
If feminist cosmogeny reimagines the beginning, feminist cosmology reconfigures the structure—not of planets and stars, but of meaning, being, and value. Ancient cosmologies were fundamentally hierarchical: whether in Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Kabbalah, or Hindu metaphysics, the cosmos had a vertical architecture—ascending from matter to mind, from ego to spirit, from chaos to logos. Feminine and masculine principles both existed within this order, often in dynamic tension, but always pointing toward an ultimate reunion with the divine.
Feminist cosmology flattens this structure. It replaces vertical transcendence with horizontal multiplicity—a universe not of ascending light, but of colliding identities. The cosmos becomes a theater of social relations, power dialectics, and gender performances, not a sacred order with spiritual direction. This shift is not neutral—it is a deliberate inversion of metaphysical meaning. Instead of the soul’s journey upward, we now have the body’s assertion outward. Instead of emanation and return, we have disruption and dispersion.
The Cosmology of Flux and Fragmentation
In this new framework, the cosmos has no center. No unifying light. No divine reference point. What remains is a fluid and unstable ontology—where sex, identity, and desire float freely, without root or goal. Reality is redefined as performance. Order becomes oppression. Stability becomes patriarchy.
Even more so, as a continuation of feminist cosmology, polyamory and non-monogamy become a cosmic metaphor: not merely a lifestyle, but a doctrine of relational chaos, echoing the ideological view that any fixed or sacred union is a form of bondage. Feminist cosmology deconstructs the marriage of heaven and earth, sun and moon, masculine and feminine, and replaces it with open-ended multiplicity—an endless dispersal of energy with no axis of return. Within this, polyamory and non-monogamy follow as rituals to deconstruct the earthly image of marriage.
In Kabbalah, the heavenly groom (the animus) reunites with the divine bride (the anima)—understood as the Knesset Yisrael and the Shekhinah, the feminine divine presence in (self-) exile—until her return in a sacred, redemptive union. This cosmic reunion mirrors the earthly sacrament of marital oneness, “becoming one flesh.” Feminist cosmology, however, does not restore this primordial union but ruptures it. By framing heterosexual intimacy—including marriage—as inherently violent or oppressive, echoing the Cathar-Bogomil myth of corrupted creation, it subverts the path of sacred union. In destroying the sanctity of monogamous sex, polyamory is recast not as liberation but as theological disintegration. It is not salvation in the original heresy—but a heresy of chaos and nihilism.
What was once seen as sacred polarity—the dynamic dance of spirit and matter, light and vessel—is now reinterpreted as binary oppression. Dualities are not transcended but abolished. The divine feminine is no longer the mystery within creation, but the sovereign over it, rewriting the stars to fit ideological desire.
From Divine Balance to Theological Anarchy
Ancient metaphysical systems—even the heretical ones—were built upon harmony between opposites. The masculine and feminine were not merely genders but cosmic principles: giving and receiving, penetrating and containing, logos and sophia. Feminist cosmology, however, often destroys this metaphysical symmetry by asserting feminine primacy not as spiritual elevation, but as sociopolitical dominance. It transforms the feminine from a sacred mystery into an autonomous agent of material assertion.
The result is both, theological as well as, ideological, anarchy: a cosmology without logos, direction, or redemption. A sacred structure stripped of sacredness, where the universe is no longer a path to divine union, but a battlefield of subjective truths and competing identities. This is not empowerment—it is cosmic estrangement.
The Heretical Echo
Just as feminist cosmogeny rewrites origins, feminist cosmology recodes the architecture of reality. But in doing so, it betrays the very archetype it claims to honor. By displacing the metaphysical feminine and replacing it with an ideological feminine, it loses the inner dimension of wisdom and trades it for outer forms of control. The sacred womb becomes the weaponized will. The Shekhinah becomes the state. The mirror becomes a megaphone.
It is not the cosmos that is liberated—it is the sacred that is evacuated.
