If we can think our thoughts, that means that we have external free will in addition to internal free will. What we have control over that comes towards us can be thought but I don't think we can control our thoughts initially. I think we can entertain that thought or abandon that thought once it arises but not prevent it from coming. That is why so many Christians have thoughts that are evil but choose not to entertain that evil thought. But if they were to entertain that thought, then their actions or experience that evil thought into fruition, it would then be something they could have rejected.

If we are experiencing life as it happens but can't have an experience but are an experience of human life, then it belittles humans to say we are having an experience as if we had a choice to reject that experience. Anything that happens is an experience and experiences can not be destroyed. If our experience was to run track and field for 30 minutes, then had to cancel it and work out at the gym instead, then both experiences happened to us but how can we say that we controlled each as both of those experiences happened? If we chose something else, then our experiences would have been different. But if our experiences are what is happening, then what happens is already in the now as if with decision making.
