For example, you beat your kid and make her into a distrustful, angry person, which affects her relationships for the rest of her life, potentially, which affect innumerable people in a potentially infinite number of ways. Patterns of behavior tend to replicate. Not in a strict deterministic way, but tendencies.

We were talking about this as a stream of consciousness. Like the case of the poem. The poem is not consciousness nor a stream. It is a mind object.

The harm that the kid feels is not because a stream of consciousness ; it is a feeling because she/he remembers a past event, as an image of being hurt. An image that is an object of mind-consciousness. I don't think that those are streams but objects of mind/eye/... consciousness.
