The hearing of that verse is spiritual hearing, not physical hearing. To hear spiritually, God must give
ears that can hear. Until that happens no one can believe - it comes from salvation and is not to salvation.
[Mat 13:13-14, 16 KJV]
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: ...
16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

It stems from the aspiration to repackage and employ the elite theory, with the misrepresentation of scripture as the means to do so.
The elite theory of government looks at the people who are regarded in most countries as 'cartels', who try to dictate the way that the government is run.

I asked because I recently posted of the message of wisdom among the mature being revealed by the Spirit of God in 1 Cor2, which matter of fitly connects to Hebrews 6' message of leaving the elementary teachings and being taken to maturity... a maturity that culminates in full assurance (Colossians 4:12). And so I will rephrase my question. What conclusion, exactly, do you mean to lead us to?
Well here is what the Bible says ...
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
So when they sat and had a meal.
