I looked on here already and couldn’t find a specific step by step guide on getting into the crossroads I understand the whole tgs, rapture state thing but I wanna know how to get deep enough where you’re in crossroads

It happens naturally when you maintain the TGS for a certain length of time. There’s no specific step to get there.

So just sitting in tgs makes it deeper automatically? How do you know when your there officially what are the general signs
It’s a think that has to be experience, and if you think too much it won’t happen. You really have to take the time to sit quietly and … that’s it. Sit quietly and wait without doing anything without asking “are we there yet” just observe yourself waiting.
It can help to do relaxation exercises to get your body into the parasympathetic state. Like the one where you tense muscles in turn and relax them. I advise doing it sat up so you don’t fall asleep.
After a while you lose proprioception (the sense of where your limbs are), your vision starts to get effects like static or tunnel vision, and you feel heavy.
It’s often described as your body being asleep while your mind is awake.
The crossroads is not so much a kind of trance - it’s a place in the astral that once your are in trance with your body asleep and your mind awake, you visualise going to in order to meet entities there. It’s like a self-guided meditation or shamanic journey at this point.

So once I’m in tgs and start seeing visions/colors appear by themselves then I just imagine what I want and call the spirit then, and that’s crossroads? It sounds just like the process of lucid dreaming to a tea 
interesting
The way I understood it from one of EA’s old videos is that you reach the “crossroads,” where the physical and spiritual intersect, when you hit the rapture state, which essentially pushes your consciousness into it.

More or less. As with lucid dreaming there’s an emphasis on allowing the scene to unfold rather than trying to control it. You won’t be bounced awake as you are in dreaming if you try too hard, as you not that deep and already awake, but then the risk is inventing rather than receiving.
You can end up “building castles in the sky” and basically leading yourself into building a fiction, sometime called “analytic overlay” as the conscious mind wants to take control and identify everything immediately (this is normal and a survival trait but makes interpreting psychic impressions harder as it gets in the way)
So it’s ok to question and use your discerning. It’s also ok as in dreaming to get impressions that don’t make sense at this time, just write it own for later and it’ll probably make sense as you go.
When entities answer it will sound like your own voice, but saying things you would not have, or getting information like you just remembered it but at the same time also remember you didn’t know it seconds before. You know when someone talks to you while you’re busy and you realise they said something, look up and remember what they said to answer them? It can be like that too. So ask a question and then just wait for what comes into memory.

Ok so in crossroads it feels deeper than normal lucid dreaming as in you don’t feel your physical outer world at all? Like the bed or anything you just feel that trance you’re in?
Rather it’s the other way around. You are not as deep, you don’t tend to lose awareness (but that will start to happen naturally the more you practice - think years though not weeks unless you practice a lot every day) and that’s why you can’t be bounced awake, because you’re already awake.
Lucid dreaming is more akin to what controlled remote viewers call “full site contact”. They avoid this because the way that protocol works is the RVer is always speaking to report to a monitor what they receive. Going fully into site contact means you do lose sense of you body and believe you are there, so you can’t talk any more in real life. (RV is a bit different though in that you are visiting a mental copy of a place not the actual place, and that’s safer and more stealthy, so it’s not a 100% comparison but at this level that doesn’t matter.)

Ok to make everything clear, the crossroads is the same as being lucid the only difference is your level of deep ness, and controlling the visions that start forming? Is there anything else about the difference
Eh, no because lucid dreaming is accessed differently: it’s when you are fully asleep and then, while still sleeping, become conscious in the dream and realise you are dreaming. It’s a different thing. You are not in touch with your physical body and usually not quite conscious enough to remember who you are or where you live or maybe what century it is. You know you’re dreaming and the rest is a crapshoot, you can also fall back into regular dreaming from here, or get woken up. It’s not easy to control.
There a really good seminar on youtube on how to learn to lucid dream posted here:
Trance state is when you stay awake and enter the Theta Gamma State, aka TGS aka Rapture aka the crossroads state.
It’s best to not use the term “lucid” for this because it’s not sleeping or dreaming and that’s confusing things, so scratch that. Yes you can get deep enough that you lose awareness and start soul traveling and then it’s very similar to lucid dreaming only with more control, but let’s not go there for now.
Here’s more on the rapture
And some discussion on crossroads state for comparison:
(Actual crossroads are also used in rituals and I see the crossroads as a dark empty place in the astral where I astral travel to meet things, not a state of being and don’t use this term for it, because it’s too easy to misunderstand - there’s no crossroads involved in the trance it’s a state of mind where you are receptive to subconscious impressions.)
