I would say this is definately not a normal way of feeling. Most people will feel connected with others, but the "out of body" part is not typical. Also, by "looking into sombody's soul" I don't really know what that means. You mean you can tell whether they are good or evil or something? Most people also do not hear voices. Even in people with schizophrenia, perhaps only 10% actually hear voices.
The feeling of having special powers can be common in bipolar mania, but usually when the mania ends the patient realizes that the feelings were not normal or logical. In mania, perceptions can be heightened (such as more sensitive hearing) but there is still a physical limit to this.

What do you think they are hiding? From what you say about your illness, it either sounds like bipolar or schizoaffective. To be blunt, it sounds like you are a little paranoid about your doctors :)
You could simply ask him: "before you said it was this and now you say this", why is that?
