Human beings are made of a billion cells all cooperating and existing in harmony,

Birth defects.
Cancer
MS

Even our thoughts are in turmoil when the brain keeps replaying the same song when we've had a enough of it hours ago.

Might want to rethink the harmony part.

What would you focus on if you had a thought you don't like?

I would focus on a different thought.

One thought after another you have to entertain? Is there no room between them?

The space between thoughts is really nice to focus on. Or the sensation felt through the body. Just sensing the aliveness. Noticing that seeing is happening.

And thoughts of nature, beauty, love, appreciation are also nice to focus on. It also makes a person more creative in their thinking to be able to think out of their circumstances.

A person without an inner dream is a slave to their surroundings.

Is there any room between the thoughts?
Or is it one thought after another taking the attention away from the body of sensation?

There is space, but I don't think that is a good thing. Questions needs to be asked and actively imagining things needs to happen, otherwise we would still be in the stone age.

Asking questions is what leads to innovation, inventions, greater ideas, and by questioning things you can formulate new thoughts and have more freedom (Creativity) in your thinking.

In sight appears out of the space, it is very intelligent. It is genius, ingenious.
Thoughts think about protection and gain.
The space knows what to do but it is not recognized as being more powerful. It is never given a chance.
Being full of thought clouds the vision.

Thought believes it can make it better but it is thought that is distubing the peace.

Those who have the less thoughts (or no thoughts) are the easiest to control.

Thinking many thoughts and focusing on what makes you happy is to grow in spirit/light through experience as your true nature.

To be of no mind, to be the unformed. Like water you flow. Prior to mind you are pure potential.
If you come formed you will bump into things. Prior to thought there are no problems. When there are no problems, there is peace and understanding.

I am not saying that thoughts will not appear but they will appear in space like awareness.

The space is feared by most. It is the void. Each person knows that if they peer into it they will perish.
That is why the void is avoided. Not many will go all the way.
The no thingness can be seen as well as the thingness.
