You said...
"If the Holy Spirit dwells in you after you receive the Eucharist, why would you need to take the Eucharist more than once in your lifetime?"

This is not to say that the Holy Spirit does not dwell in me before receiving the Eucharist.The Eucharist is a deeper union with Christ that demands complete obedience to Him

Being in a state of sanctifying Grace after confession,In the Eucharist,I am there in the Presence of His Word-made-flesh, this helps me to love the loveless, to give to the ungrateful, to bear up with those whom God's Providence puts into our lives in order to prove to Him how much we love Him. After all, He loved and loves us in spite of our lovelessness and downright coldness to the Lord who made us for Himself and who leads us to our destiny by the path of self-immolation – which is another name for sacrifice.
In His Eucharistic presence We surrender ourselves to Him as He surrendered Himself for us, and thus make the Eucharist what Christ wants it to be – a union of God's heart with ours as a prelude to His possession of us for all eternity.

With all this in mind,Dear Friend,I try and go to our Lord in His Eucharistic presence as often as I possibly can.

I hope this answers your questions?

"Man should tremble, the world should vibrate,
all Heaven should be deeply moved
when the Son of God appears on the alter in the hands of the priest."
~ St. Francis of Assisi


I wish you and your family a Blessed day

It is your assumption that Augustine is in heaven. None of us know the condition of another's heart.
