I forgive myself for everything I have done, and forgive the other people for what they have done to me, when I think about it.

But the images keep coming back. Does this mean I haven't forgiven truly?

It is easy sometimes to imagine all the negative things I have done, and just feel love towards those things and myself.

Do I need to go deep into hypnosis to clear out these energies from my vibration?

Or do I just fake it till I make it with continual forgiveness?

I don't think we will completely forget the particular events of our incarnations till we enter the seventh density.  Though occasionally, extremely traumatic memories can be erased for a soul once they are discarnate.  I don't think it is so much a problem that the images occasionally resurface, but do they carry the same negative emotional charge?  

If you have truly forgiven yourself and others, the negative emotional charge will dissipate.  If not, perhaps more forgiveness is in order.  I would almost compare forgiveness to a tone or frequency that can be entrained to, and occasionally due to life catalyst, lost temporarily.  It is essentially the same thing people call love.  Just keep healing yourself through forgiveness until you can look upon those memories without a distortion towards pain.  It sometimes helps me to forgive myself and others by reminding myself that the pain that occurred was simply the result of ignorance, on some level, of the true consequences of mine or another's actions. These experiences help us to illuminate our ignorance, and thereby prevent them from happening again in the future.  

We oftentimes know not what we do.
