How did you achieve that, if you didn't turn them off? Why can't you turn off your thoughts anyway, if you are something external to them?
You do bring up interesting thoughts Rhythm.
Actually, if you are an being that is external to your brain and you 'turned off' these thoughts and when and did something else for a while, when you came back to them and turned them back on again, they would appear to be precisely where you had left off.
So if you are a being that is external to your brain's thoughts you could potentially be turning off your thoughts all the time and never even be aware of it. (ha ha)
It's amazing what's actually possible when considering these types of things.
In fact, maybe that's why we need to "sleep". These external spirit need some way to take a periodic break from this game.
Interesting thoughts.
Isn't it weird that thoughts themselves can imagine such outrageous ideas?
If thoughts were solely the product of a secular pile of atoms, why is it that they can come up with ideas that are so estranged to that very essence?
That thought alone is pretty darn weird. (ha ha)

Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
