I'm experimenting with the grey approach, and I think it works. First I picture a thought as pure content -- grey, no energy. I see the words of the phrase, i.e. "I am making money" with a grey font. Then I fill it with red or black coloring and think of what I hope to gain. I think of this in terms of self-interest, how it will benefit me, not glory or how it's going to impact others. Then I go back to grey and look at it as just a thought. Then, I picture it with bright white or blue, and think of the ways I can benefit others with it, and focus on feelings of love and acceptance. Finally, I bring it back to grey, and think of balance and wholeness.
My basic theory is that grey works best for obtaining knowledge, light for benefitting others, and dark for self-interest. The real goal is not to change the amounts of these things (they are all three present in endless amounts) but to change the way you are conscious of them to a higher level. Fear turns to pride, guilt turns to love, and confusion turns to knowledge.
