The Giver had the ability to see beyond the constraints of the community's rules and receive memories of the past, enabling him to understand the joys and pains of life. This unique sense allowed him to guide and counsel the Receiver of Memory in making important decisions for the community.
This means that Jonas has the ability to perceive color, emotions, and memories that others in the community cannot, due to the training he received from the Giver. It sets him apart and gives him a unique perspective on the world.
The hearing beyond that The Giver speaks of refers to the ability to receive thoughts and emotions directly from others without speaking, known as telepathy or extrasensory perception. This form of communication is depicted as a unique skill possessed by the Receiver of Memory and plays a crucial role in the story's plot.
In "The Giver," being selected refers to being chosen by the community to fulfill a specific role or task, such as becoming the Receiver of Memories. It is a significant honor and responsibility given to individuals who display unique qualities or talents.
The Giver believes Jonas will gain wisdom faster than he did because Jonas exhibits qualities like empathy, courage, and openness to learning that the Giver didn't have at the same age. Jonas also has a unique ability to receive memories, which allows him to learn from experiences in a more direct way.
