I don't see how is this different What do you mean by thought exactly? I guess you don't mean thinking, because you still aware of yourself if you are not thinking about something. But if by "thought" you mean "awareness" or "consciousness", then that doesn't add anything. And of course, if you take it away there is nothing left.
