Well, could be. He worked his way up the chain of evolution and finally got promoted to human, first as a Spartan soldier. He comported himself honorably, and after several more incarnations, he was (he claims) the Venerable Bede. There were several more incarnations in which he was fairly obscure (no one of historical significance, except in small ways), then, he says he shot into prominence once again as Voltaire. As the result of something that happened in a later incarnation (which he didn't want to talk about) he picked up a load of bad karma and got demoted to the rank of field mouse. He got nailed young by a barn owl, and since that worked off a lot of the karma, he next manifested himself as Cyril the raccoon. He has since moved on and been promoted a couple more times, but he didn't say to what. If he was Sammy the Skunk, that end should have worked off a lot of the bad karma and he may even be back to human by now. Since it was his soul I was channeling, I don't really know the nature of his present status. Anything is possible, I guess.
