Well, if you were able to perform this experiment on yourself at all that would pretty much guarantee that you at least have the free will to chose to do the experiment. Moreover, actually doing the experiment would demonstrate that you have free will to selectively ignore at least some thoughts. Surely you had some success with this experiment.
Someone who could not ignore any thought that crosses their field of awareness would surely be a grave danger to themselves and to society don't you think.
I've certainly had strange thoughts cross my mind that I not only didn't follow up on, but would not want to be associate with having followed up on.
I selectively ignore thoughts an a daily basis. So for me the concept of free will is a given. It's been proven to me experiment after experiment on a daily basis for my entire life basically. Not even intending to do these experiments on purpose.

I didn't claim to prove anything. All I did was propose a very ancient experiment that you can personally do for yourself. I gave my personal conclusions that I got from having done the experiment. Your conclusions may differ.
And evidently they do.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
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!
