No, I personally don't think we forgot during the course of this life. Instead we don't realize we know.
We already know because 'God' is all knowing. We are a part of 'God', so therefore, we already know everything we could ever want to know. We as humans think we make discoveries and learn something new, but that is wrong. No one ever learns anything that we didn't already know, they only realized the knowledge that is already there.
I may be completley missing your point. I am trying my best to understand what you are saying. So bare with me while I try to amke sense of what you mean.

As I am a full blown Christian. My belief are based on the bible. I do believe in life after death.
But as for reincarnation. Let think about it. Has anyone every thought how does reincarnation work.
Lets think about it. Person dies and is reborn as a new being or animal.
heres the thinking part. Person dies and soul goes becomes new being or animal. So when does this happen? Does the soul enter a pregnant women and take over the new born baby who already had the body and had a souL??? Obviously no. So then the soul enter the women while she having sex when she becomes pregnant????? Sound strange??? Because reincarnation is wrong.
God bless.
Dr. Rick Strassman, while conducting '___' research in the 1990s at the University of New Mexico, advanced the theory that a massive release of '___' from the pineal gland prior to death or near death was the cause of the near death experience (NDE) phenomenon. Several of his test subjects reported NDE-like audio or visual hallucinations.

How does a body of people have a mutual answer to things like Life after death? I just can't agree that there is only one answer for certain things.

The bottom-line is that God exists is a realization you made. That he is all-knowing is another.
To you, the rest of us are floundering along in the dark, while you urge them to make the same realization.
The existence of an all-knowing entity, that we are part of, as you say, certainly makes things easier.
But the insinuation that the rest of us are asking "irrelevant" questions is condescending. To which I would ask you, what is a relevant question?

One episode that particularly stands out in my mind was one where
captain Picard told this hollow-deck character near the end of the
episode that he was just an image made by a computer..not a real
being. The guy/image with a distressed, startled look exclaimed,
"That can't be true! I have a wife and kids and home." He then asked
captain Picard what would happen to him when Picard walks out the
door and ends the program. "Will I still exist?", he asked sadly.
Picard said in his calm voice, "I honestly don't know." Picard then
walked out the door and the room went pitch black.
