The Fire of the Heart
True Meditation as a Direct Doorway to Spiritual Awakening
The Fire of the Heart is a penetrating and profound journey into the radical immediacy and evolutionary potential of Spiritual Awakening here and now. Anchored in a simple yet illuminating approach to True Meditation, the Awakening Process that Peter describes is direct, contemporary, and includes the totality of manifest existence in its integral embrace. His writing is fluid and accessible for beginners with no previous experience of meditation or the spiritual path, and also reveals a subtlety about the nature of mind and non-duality that offers infinite depth for even the most experienced aspirants.

The Great Search
“Trying to find security and solace in the ever-changing forms of conditional experience is like trying to catch water in our hand. Hence the Great Search for fulfillment in the realm of body, mind and world keeps us in a state of restless seeking and dissatisfaction with very little relief.”
The Fire of the Heart
“The Fire of the Heart is a longing that burns. Unlike any other desire it is a longing that is not focused on or satisfied by material objects, relationships and activities that the world has to offer. There is something mysterious about it, something indefinable, something infinitely captivating and magnetic.”
Wide Open Wonder
“As soon as we open to these big questions without needing to grasp for an answer, innocent curiosity begins to shine forth. Wide Open Wonder begins to crack asunder the hard shell of our unexamined assumptions and beliefs, and even the very perceptual frameworks with which we create a world for ourselves to live in.”
Meditation Is Not What You Think
“Who is it that is thinking, thinking, thinking? What is thought and what is mind really? Is it not true that the only thought that we are actually aware of is the thought that is appearing right now?…If we can only have one thought at a time, what exactly is “mind” and where is it located?”
As I read and study Pete’s book in more depth and detail, I realise that everything one needs to know about an Authentic Spiritual Awakening, is present in each chapter! Everywhere we find powerful pointers to the Ultimate Reality, that completely shatter our wrong ideas and beliefs. And it also has the rare power of bringing us Home, to that undeniable recognition of “I Am”.
– Ricardo Goncalves, Portugal
This book is groundbreaking. It gives a deep insight into the question: what is Spirituality? It is written for beginners as well as for advanced practitioners, as it takes one on a journey into the existential question ” Who am I?” and the implications this has for human life. It took me deeper and deeper into an Unknown what is evolving itself. It took me to the Heart Itself. It took me to the clear recognition that the journey never ends and yet is already complete.
– Jutta Weiske,Germany
This book is a must for any seeker that truly wants to become a finder. It is a guide to ignite the Fire of the Heart, with a clear exposition of the human predicament and concrete directions for practices that best support stabilizing Spiritual Awakening. It beautifully impels you to radically transform from a self-serving orientation towards Life to surrender into The Power That Knows The Way.

Amazing insights that are bound to stir the Fire in your Heart. As you turn each page, Peter guides you into the bliss of letting go. Yes, all those cherished concepts and dogmas any of us have found so ensnaring. This is just such a lovely writing, where you may find the words vanish as understanding dances like flames upon your Heart.
– Peter Ragnar, Author
What has attracted me to this book was the clarity and distinctness of the message conveyed by Peter Bampton. A simple, direct message, without dogma, and without the esotericism of the “New Age” culture, a real breath of fresh air.
Peter takes us to the foundation of what true spirituality is, at the same time without taking our feet off the ground and leading us to take responsibility for the exercise of our personal and collective power. We are essentially challenged to ask the truly important questions: “Who Am I?”, “What makes me Suffer?”, “What is it to be Happy?”, “Am I Free?”…
It is also a proposal for personal and collective freedom, of contextualization in the face of our accumulated cultural burden, and openness to a new paradigm of evolutionary consciousness. A proposal that can break down the barriers that separate us from our essence, from others, and from the “reality” we experience.
With this book I found above all an additional opportunity to discover myself, to free myself from the ego contraction, to awake, and fully realize my spirituality. I can only give myself, when I know who I AM…
– Luís Ferreira, Portugal
The Fire of the Heart accompanied me during a solitary retreat this summer and it was a real blessing. During those three weeks of diving deep into myself, into who I really Am, and how I actually live/feel/act, Peter Bampton’s words of wisdom rang true and absolutely accurate, as if I was consciously choosing to read each chapter at a very specific time. Book synchronicity, as Pete calls it, is real and it happens when the book speaks the Truth directly. I am deeply grateful and can only recommend the book to whoever is seriously engaged in their Spiritual life.
– Sandra Ramos, Portugal
This is not a book to read casually. If you really get what Peter is conveying, it is a true guide to Spiritual Awakening. I read it on a solitary retreat and I was blown away by the simplicity of the message written in a very deep and original way. It took me to a place of Happiness, not depending on anything ‘out there’. Peter describes the Great Search of human kind for happiness with such clarity that it instantly makes you realize what an illusion you have been living – and wakes you up instantly!’
– Lotte Kauffman, Holland
