If you're still experiencing "thoughts" as entities beyond your full control, if the "feeling" portion of the mind still fluctuates, if you're not free to direct your ENTIRE attention in a single direction and hold it there for a long time - then that's not turiya. You've experienced an expansion of awareness. It's pretty cool when it happens. You should "encourage" it and practice it more.

If it's easy to get there, you're basically an avatar.
