Do we still have a working mind in heaven with all our conscience?

Your human mind is part of your “rational” or human soul.

Anything that happens with regard to your brain, you will not have in heaven. That is raised again in the resurrection, which is the final goal of our being, being fully human in the presence of God, and of his Christ.

The rich man (Dives) did, only he wasn’t in heaven.

For that matter, so did Abraham, who was either in Heaven or in the upper part of “Sheol.”The rich man (Dives) did, only he wasn’t in heaven.
In fact, he knew both Lazarus and Dives, though they probably lived long after him. So he had his knowing capacities. He could even see and be seen, though the eyes in his human head, and his original body had long disappeared.
It would seem that if this is not a parable, all of the propensities of our human life are preserved.

Is it spelled out or inferred in the New Testament? It is not in the Hebrew Scriptures, so I would say we simply don’t know how much consciousness or what kind of consciousness we may have in heaven. All the rest is mere speculation.The question explains it all^

John 10:10I have come that they may have** life**, and have it to the full.
Luke 20:34Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
330 As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will**: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness.190
350 Angels are spiritual creatures who **glorify God **without ceasing and who serve his saving plans for other creatures: “The angels work together for the benefit of us all” (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3, *ad *3).
1024 This perfect life with the Most Holy Trinity - **this communion of life and love **with the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed - is called “heaven.” Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.
1029 In the glory of heaven the blessed continue joyfully to** fulfill God’s will in relation to other men and to all creation.** Already they reign with Christ; with him "they shall reign for ever and ever."605
1053 “We believe that the multitude of those gathered around Jesus and Mary in Paradise forms the Church of heaven, where in eternal blessedness they see God as he is and where they are also, to various degrees, associated with the holy angels in the divine governance exercised by Christ in glory, by interceding for us and helping our weakness by their fraternal concern” (Paul VI, *CPG *§ 29).
1060 At the end of time, the Kingdom of God will come in its fullness. Then** the just will reign with Christ for ever**, glorified in body and soul, and the material universe itself will be transformed.
1 Corinthians 2:9“But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—”
In heaven one has far, far more than a working mind…
