Snails and angels: Do snails come out of eggs? Can angels intervene without our permission?

What does science say about snails?
Have you ever wondered where snails come from?
Do they come out of eggs?
Yes! They do!
Terrestrial snails such as Helicella vestalis lay clusters of 25 to 30 eggs. Kassab & Daoud (1964) studied Helicella vestalis and found that they deposited eggs in small holes in the soil. The eggs were round in shape with a white calcareous outer layer. The researchers found it took 15 days (on average) for the snails to mature and hatch from the eggs. As soon as the eggs hatched, snail-lings could be viewed with tiny shells and mucus, looking around for food. It is important to note that baby snails can be as tiny as the head of a pin. Eventually, their shells would coil, and they would mature into adult snails with bigger shells.
Interesting, isn't it?
The next time you see a snail, be sure to remind yourself that snails come from clustered eggs! :D
What do angels teach us through snails?
The image in this post is a cluster of snail eggs that I found in a nearby garden. I was looking for a big snail, and I discovered a pot with a shell. I thought to myself, 'yes, I found a snail!'.
However, when I went closer to the snail, I realised that it was only the shell that was there in the pot. The body of the snail was on the floor. Yes, it was dead :(.
To my surprise, there was a cluster of eggs next to the shell. At that time, I didn't know that the cluster were snail eggs, but I found the tiny, white eggs extremely interesting. So, I quickly took a picture of the eggs and paced away from the pot, as the sight of the dead snail was making me feel sad.
As I went back home, I continued speaking with my guardian angel about this incident, trying to understand why it hadn't stopped me from entering that garden, seeing the dead snail, or experiencing sadness.
I remember rambling to my guardian angel. I don’t remember getting an answer. However, as I reflect on that incident, I realise that I might have not asked my guardian angel to intervene before I went into the garden.
That is one of the limitation of angels. They cannot help us or stop us if we don't ask them to intervene.
They are bound to respect our free will. It’s of prime importance to them that they respect our decisions.
So, dear reader, if you feel you need guidance or protection from difficult experiences, please consider asking your guardian angel to intervene verbally.
You never know, unknowingly, your guardian angel’s intervention might protect you from going through a particular situation that would have made you sad or would have stopped you from experiencing happiness.
Until next time! :)
