I don't believe that. I believe that EVERYTHING we do in this world while filled and walking in the Spirit will be remembered.......and rewarded in heaven. And that includes all of His mind that we studied while filled with the Spirit.
But, honestly, I think we will remember everything....We will just be able to see the big picture, without a sin nature. We will see how God worked it out all with Grace, mercy and perfect righteousness.
I think it's paramount that we remember everything. God will get the Glory when we see how He worked everything through perfect Justice,love,grace......His character and nature will be fully revealed to us.

Heaven? Not Interested.
It's an alien world with which I am totally unfamiliar; and when I leave here,
I will be leaving behind everything dear to me, e.g. photos, mementos,
souvenirs, collections, sights and sounds, mountains, creeks, rivers and
forests, clothing and equipment, landmarks, entertainment, hobbies, a
spouse, BFF, etc, etc.
The culture shock tsunami of leaving all that I know & love and going to a
foreign land where I know & love nothing at all, is not my idea of a good
time. Personally; I dread the thought of having to start all over again from
scratch.
For many of us working stiffs, the first day on a new job is stressful and
quite an adjustment. The night before that first day can cause enough
anxiety to keep us awake worrying about what we might expect.
I'd imagine that, whether we end up in the right place or the wrong place in
the afterlife, we will be just as stressed on our first day there as the first day
here on a new job.
The anxiety associated with death is to be expected seeing as how most of
us have no experience at all with that particular journey. But much of my
own anxiety in regards to death is related to what comes after. Pity there
are no guide books available in print to prepare us in advance for the
adjustment folks are required to undergo as they struggle to fit into
Heaven's (or Hell's) way of life.
The one thing I do look forward to in Heaven is its library where
everything that can be known about the cosmos is stored. Carl Sagan
would've loved that library because he went to his grave with a lot of
unanswered questions. But now they'll never be answered because Carl was,
at best, an agnostic, and at worst, an atheist.
** I rather suspect that new arrivals in Heaven are immediately quarantined
in a sort of Bible boot camp where they're fitted with appropriate clothing
and undergo intense indoctrination-- all their mistakes are corrected and all
the blanks filled in --so that when newbees are released into general
population - a.k.a. gen pop --there is no debating and no quarreling over
theories, interpretations, and/or applications.
I also suspect newbees are processed thru a sort of finishing school where
the roughness of their manners are sanded off so that they don't go about
insulting folks, stepping on their toes, and/or hurting people's feelings with
thoughtless remarks.

They knew Moses and Elijah after they had died when they appeared , Saul knew Joshua when he was raised up after he died even the man in the story of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar in hell he’s referring to his family
I don’t know of any scripture that would make us think that the people we know and love and are close with here will be any different to us then we will all be better and more but it seems like we’re still going to be the same person known as we’re are known just a thought however
