Summary/Abstract: A post-concupiscence Eucharistic theology written to provide clarity to the humanconsciousness against the force of concupiscence which is explained to be the causeof psychological dullness that causes the imbalance of man in nature. Thispsychological dullness among people makes them unable to have consciousness andclarity from the clarity provided by the Eucharist. Written to explain the temporalnature of the force of concupiscence and how through instincts, it controls materialproperties in the world, especially animals and plants in static renewable energies ina cycle of birth, procreation and death. Man unfortunately entered into the control ofthis force by disobeying God at the Garden of Eden (cf. Genesis 3:1-7), even thoughman was created in the world from dust, he was not subject to the laws of the worldin its renewable form because of his image of God and the immortality of his soul(cf. Genesis 1:26). The dust material of his body fell to the control of this law thatout of its dullness, the human body becomes corrupted and liable to death. Out oflove and pity, God sent the image of God through whom man was created to bringman back to the image of God and rescue man from this dull atmosphere (cf. John3:16). Written in final exegesis of the prophet Hosea‟s message about the unfaithfulwife and unfaithful Israel as a result of the psychological dullness that perishes thepeople for lack of knowledge (cf. Hosea 4:6)- the closed doors of the higher facultiesof the soul 1. Jesus in the Eucharistic sacrifice- the breaking of bread who is timeless2removes this psychological dullness in Hosea‟s Gomer who is a picture of theentire unfaithfulness of Israel and the entire human race as a result of carnalconcupiscence. The Eucharist provides clarity against the psychological dullness ofconcupiscence thereby ending global wars, sin and man‟s imbalance in nature.
