There are ten sefirot which come from the ten powers of the soul possessing names similar to sefirot. The soul is manifested and expressed via its powers. There are two major categories of such which are transcendent and immanent powers. The transcendent are also referred to as oneg and ratzon and they correspond to the above mentioned keter while the immanent ones are classified into emotions and intellect. The intellect ones are daat, bina and chochma regarding the power of soul.
Chochma intellectual power is creative and also unpredictable and is seen in insights and inspirations. Bina is the intellectual ability of understanding. It is the one that develops and also articulates the energies of Chochma so that is becomes detailed and conceptual.
Daat is the capacity to harmonize and integrate completely opposing views. Daat plays two roles. One is binding together bina and chochma powers and two is acting as a go between the divergent domains of emotional and intellect soul attributes.
Chesed is the first in the emotional attributes. The forces motivating it are benevolence and love. It is sometimes referred to as gedula because it rears the rest of soul attributes to develop fully and be mature. Tiferet in another attribute working to blend and bring harmony to the opposing forces gevura and chesed. It is also the attribute of truth because it relies to some degree on the recipient virtue. However, in the ideal it leans more to chesed and thus termed as mercy.
There is also a fortitude and restrictive soul power which is associated with discreet judgment that could have been left out by the extreme love and kindness. Is blends the emotional power with some aspects of fear. When kindness and love guide one to be generous and unconditional, this power tells you to assess if it is really worth it. It can actually argue against doing it for the fear that they may actually be helping a non worthy person and misuse their resources. One becomes good to those who do them good.
Netzach has three dimension; eternity, victory and orchestration. The common aspect all the three share is initiative sense and persistence in order to make it through resistance faced in bringing how one feels and thinks to positive action. Victory indicates initiative, eternity calls for persistence while orchestration implies innovative plans in the deployment of the rest of the traits intelligently.
Hod implies surrender and it complements Netzach. Where netzach moves ahead to break the barriers in between benevolence outflow and who it is intended for, hod makes sure the recipient success is based on him recognizing the divine being behind his might and power. It thus represents innocence and sincerity. The Zohar terms this complementing relationship as two side of the same body, like twins.
Yesod is that quality that blends all the mentioned qualities to a single unit. It also represents a saintly individual. It builds an individual who is God fearing and acts according to how slaves follow their masters. Being loyal and sovereign also important. If one believes that there are heavenly powers taking control, then he will have the strengths and the wisdom he needs.
