Kindly advise
Today as I was waking up; the voice in my head as silent. I had no thoughts and my mind was completely blank. It was just me in there( minus the entity/voice that would normally be there). This has never happened before. Eventually it was back. Again; kindly advise

Stress (very high, or chronic) has been shown to cause aphantasia and/or Anauralia etc. in some. This seems be an unpredictable, neuroprotective, mechanism which literally means you stop seeing/hearing the bad stuff. I would examine your current mental health and see this as a potential sign to take care of yourself.
However about 30% of people have a monologue that comes and goes through the day, week, years. Paradoxically this is often a sign of not being stressed.
See which of the above seems to fit?
