Psychology - defined - study of the soul. I don't think it is necessarily translated as a "religious sense". There are many subjects that are secular but still biblical... or biblical but still used secularly.
Understand trying to not making in "christianese". I suppose you could use "life-force"... but it might be lessen the reality of what it is. Maybe we can liken it to a man in a space suit. The space suit is our body that lets us operate in this physical world but the real you is your spirit man. The body is the visible expression of who you are?
I guess I'm am limited in my vocabulary to correctly express it.
Christianese. That's cute. I don't use life-force myself. Sounds sci-fi. If you dropped the words soul and spirit, you can say the former is the psyche and the latter is the "act' of expression." The body is the vehicle through which the act (motion/spirit of something/passion) or behavior is expressed.
