It sits below Chokhmah across from Gevurah and above Netzach. It is usually given four paths. To Chokhmah, Gevurah, Tiphereth, and Netzach (some Kabbalists place a path from Chesed to Binah as well).
The first three of the Ten Sephirot, are the attributes of the "intellect," while Chesed is the first sephira of the attribute of "action."
Chesed translated as "kindness", is often thought of as being synonymous with niceness, but the connotation of Chesed is much deeper. Chesed can be properly described as an act that has no "cause."
Chesed is proactive-it is the initiator of interaction, and must therefore be the first in the sephirot of action. Chesed deals with the level of the visible and, in the chain of social dynamics, is the primary spark that initiates subsequent action."

Xdell- if you are able to come back -or when you are- wrt your comment on Gevurah - and talking to the Talmudic scholar- also with you yourself- I was wondering- did you find (or do you know what the scholar felt) the Kabbalah an incrredibly intricate- yet beautiful at the same time system of mystical thought?
I knew a lot more about it in the late 80s when I had this fascination of metaphysics (well still pretty much do)
take care and be well my friend!!
