Why might a payment through Lava.top fail?

1. VPN is enabled.
   You must disable the VPN before making a payment. Lava explicitly lists this as one of the reasons for declining both ruble and foreign-currency payments.
2. Roubles were selected for a foreign card.
   If the card was issued by a non-Russian bank, you need to select € or $. Direct payment is accepted with foreign Visa and MasterCard cards. However, if the card is, for example, Kazakhstani and the account is in tenge, you can select € or $. The bank will automatically convert tenge if currency conversion is enabled. The same applies to pounds, francs, and other foreign currencies. The bank may charge a conversion fee. Russian bank card → choose ₽. Foreign bank card → choose $ or €.
3. The bank’s confirmation code, SMS, or similar does not arrive. Choose another confirmation method. This depends on the payment option you selected. The confirmation method is set by the bank, so it may differ between banks. For example, you usually receive a code by SMS, but the SMS does not arrive. Then open your banking app—there may already be a “Confirm purchase” notification there. Some banks allow you to confirm the payment directly in the app, via a push notification, fingerprint, Face ID, or your phone’s PIN code.
4. The card is foreign, but is not Visa/MasterCard.
   For direct payment by foreign card, Lava specifies Visa and MasterCard. For example, American Express or Maestro should be used through PayPal, rather than by entering the card details normally.
5. If a foreign card is declined, try another foreign Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, or Apple Pay, if these methods are available in your country and for your card. Lava supports PayPal and Apple Pay for foreign-currency payments; Apple Pay on Lava works only on compatible devices/browsers.

I repeat once again that you can pay via Lava from any country. Without exception!
And I repeat once again—choose a currency that your bank can convert, or one that is available on your card.

What happens if someone is blocked?

I think questions like these, which require understanding, should be answered.

First and foremost, I created a space where you feel safe.

Being blocked in any of these spaces (the school, the ashram, my social media) does not affect my personal attitude toward you in any way.

I understand very clearly that as soon as someone starts helping others, they immediately become guilty of everything.

Because people really want to play the role of a child before some “super-kind, all-powerful” person—in essence, a father or mother.

Didn't give you candy—guilty; created rules—guilty; set personal boundaries—guilty; has the right to their own time—guilty; doesn't do things the way you like—guilty...

So don't worry about it—you are always safe.

If I blocked someone, or if someone from the Veretennikov Academy team did, there is no catastrophe.

If you received any initiations from me, no one will, of course, cancel them.

I am not going to close any channels

Nor, God forbid, punish anyone in any way.

I want to say right away that there have genuinely been mentally ill people in my practice. I barely managed to save myself from them

So my important task is to ensure that you are completely safe.

And that you feel safe as well.

I am not one of those who will chase you in your dreams with a broom or somehow send bad energy after blocking you

I think I have addressed this question too, if anyone was concerned about it.

Just keep developing.

With me or without me—I don't mind.

It seems to me that some people manage to do this faster with me.
