"There body and blood, soul and divinity, is what I meant."

Interesting. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that God is spirit, "and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Hebrews 8:1 says that Jesus, in His resurrected body, sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us. The resurrected body is a material body, able to be seen and touched, and localized in specific areas, not omnipresent like the Holy Spirit. That's why He told the disciples it was good that He was going away because the omnipresent Holy Spirit would come. Who then is physically present in each location that communion is celebrated?

And it is through the intervention of the Holy Spirit (invoked at the beginning of each Mass) that the miracle occurs. Christ would not have told us that we must eat his flesh and drink his blood to gain eternal life, were it not possible to do so.
