Why do my higher states of consciousness fade away quickly?

[lmfao]

After I've finished meditating for 35 mins (been doing this daily for a couple of months) my awareness will be sharpened for 30 mins or so, but then it just fades away.

I'm really annoyed, because after the last time I meditated my mind was going a bit crazy, but that was because my mind was racing with thoughts about the nature of reality. I felt as though everything is paradoxical, and that the reality I perceive in day to day life is completely determined by unquestioned beliefs and assumptions. I came to realise that all concepts are ultimately groundless, and that if there is a "truth" to reality, it's beyond words. 

From meditation you can consistently reach mystical states, but these states are temporary. Does it take lots and lots of consciousness work before these states become temporary? Are the most enlightened people in the world constantly in a natural state of hyper minfullness, even when they are not meditating? Is it their "default" mode to be mindfull?

Think of it as a total state of attention to the whole of things. Attention without exclusion of certain parts. 

For me a capacity to see externally in the environment and inwardly at the ongoings of mind without the desire to intervene and control what is because the mind constantly wants to meet the present with the known ‘the past’. 

So it’s the ability meet each moment without the influence of the past preventing the newness or creativity of fresh experience from arising. Otherwise the experience becomes a mere projection and continuation of the past ‘the known’. So it’s an ability to perceive without a perciever which is the knower and the known. 

There is only then what’s perceived. This is headlessness action without a center “me”

As of now that is my default state. The first time it happened it was totally unintended. It was not premeditated it just happened. After I felt very light and at a deep peace. A total freedom from self. It seemed to fade in an out although there was a consistent state of freedom from self. I can just simply sit now and stare off into space become completely headless. It’s great out of this world?

As time went on I then started to get involved with self inquiry to figure out what had happened. Ever since this state of headlesness or centerlessness has deepened. This seems to bring about a deep sense of no mind. No meditation as far as sitting in various postures for certain periods of time was used. 

That’s my experience and I hope you have experienced this or you will if not.?

If there is that feeling that these states  are temporary maybe inquire into the nature of meditation. If what you are doing is a concentrated movement ‘thought induced’ or ‘control or suppression based’.. if so this could explain the compulsion to engage in mechanical routine to capture those particular states. 

I inquired into the nature of meditation and the nature of thought. This might help you?

Because your main attention if on your head/mind and not Thymus/Air/Breath/Heart.
