If body exists in consciousness, it's still only consciousness that exists. Without mind, there is no thought. Without thought, I can't think of anything, not even 'I'.
Yet without the body the thoughts you speak about cannot exist either. This is demonstrated by the fact that if you damage or drug the brain the conscious entity can no longer entertain certain thoughts. If the mind existed outside the body, it could not be affected by it...
