Dr. Art Ong Jumsai, a distinguished individual with two PhDs and experience at NASA, emphasizes that his true passion lies in teaching and propagating human values (1:52). He has extensively trained teachers globally and founded the Satya Sai School in Thailand (2:33), which focuses on a human-centered curriculum, self-sufficiency, and raising student consciousness to foster good character and ethical behavior.

Dr. Jumsai's core message revolves around the importance of human values for a better world, particularly emphasizing peace and reducing desires (6:46). He humorously illustrates how getting rid of "I" (ego) and "want" (desire) leads to peace, citing Bhutan's focus on Gross National Happiness (10:49) as an example of a country prioritizing happiness over material progress.

He advocates for an education process that uses the mind, not just the brain (14:43). The conscious mind facilitates understanding, while the subconscious mind stores unlimited information from our senses (15:43). He uses an analogy of a king and his five demanding wives to represent the challenge of controlling our five senses (16:40), stressing that our interpretation of sensory input, influenced by our subconscious, determines our reactions (22:52).

Dr. Jumsai highlights the need for teachers and parents to integrate human values into all subjects (26:00). He provides examples of teaching history (30:45) and science (33:01) by extracting positive values and encouraging critical thinking. He asserts that by raising the consciousness of children to the "superconscious" level through practices like prayer and meditation (34:13), their memory and intuition improve significantly (37:13), leading to greater knowledge and wisdom.

He shares his personal journey as a formerly "naughty boy" who transformed his life through meditation (38:39), becoming a top student and making significant scientific discoveries through intuition (42:50), similar to Sir Isaac Newton (43:36) and Albert Einstein (45:03). He recounts his experience at NASA, where intuition, not research, led to a breakthrough in designing an automatic landing system for the Viking spacecraft (49:02). Dr. Jumsai concludes by emphasizing the importance of positive thinking (53:06) and teachers being role models who practice what they preach, influencing children's hearts through love and compassion.
