Yes, sorry, I'm pondering and also putting some order in my thoughts about this model, trying to come up with a clear and reasonable conceptual framework. There is really not too much previous material to elaborate. Unless perhaps we read Plato?
Plato was the first person to really introduce the ideas of the psyche. In his early works, this is also translated as “the soul.” The philosopher believed three things about the psyche:
“The rational soul seeks the truth through logic, facts, and reason.
The spirited soul uses emotions to make decisions and take action.
The appetitive soul covers physiological needs, like food and sex.”

What Is Stream of Thought?
The “stream of thought,” also known as the “stream of consciousness,” refers to the constant movement and appearance of thoughts in the conscious mind. William James is said to be the first psychologist to use the term. “Consciousness” refers to the awareness of what is happening in and around us.
One distinction between the Buddhist mind-stream and James’ stream of consciousness is that the mind-stream travels from one life to another. Buddhists believe in reincarnation, or the existence after one’s death.
Another concept within Buddhism proves to be useful today, especially as it makes a comeback in self-help books and fitness studios. Through mindfulness, Buddhists believe that one could better understand their mind-stream and become more knowledgeable. While today’s experts rarely connect mindfulness to reincarnation, many agree that mindfulness has its benefits. Mindfulness meditation, for example, can help to lower stress, boost your mind, and increase focus. When it comes to stream of consciousness, mindfulness can help you “slow down” the stream or make it more clear. As you become more mindful, you will be able to identify your feelings as they arise, “navigate” the stream, and even change its direction more efficiently.
