Where are you getting this information from? Genesis does not talk about colors, nor does it reference demons - only angels ascending and descending to and from Heaven onto Earth. I definitely like your explanation, I'd just like to know how you came to such a conclusion. :) Genesis 28:10-17 10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it[a] stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[b] 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”

Which version is this? > and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. The demons would be the angels descending. I have used the analogy of angels and demons in order to explain the concept. > And there above it stood the lord. The lord meaning the most high aspect of existence - the aspect of creation which is the creator (the creator cannot be found but through self exploration, which is to say that the creator is not separate from the creation, the creation being all existence ) Jacobs ladder is an allegory explaining not only the concept of ascension, but also explaining that God is not seperate, but within. > Surely the lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it. This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven. Even though Jacob was but a wandering Sannyasin in the desert, with but a rock as a pillow; even in this desert with this rock as a pillow: this was still the house of God. Jacob, even though incomparable to the most high; even though as naught to the most high; has still realized that **Surely the lord is in this place** Surely, the lord is even in this space which is the space occupied by jacob. Surely, the lord, the most high, is even within Jacob. Surely, even Jacob is an aspect of the most high; surely, even jacob is the most high. Surely, all things are a part of the creation, and the creator. Surely there is no separation in reality, but only in illusion. What we think of as reality is an illusion or dream; and the only actual constant other than change is the nothingness or voidness of the creator source.

I cannot remember which I sourced this from, I think it was the KJV. I disagree that angels descending from Heaven to Earth are demons. There are several accounts throughout the Bible which have angels visiting disciples on Earth. A demon would be ascending or descending from Hell. I agree with the rest of your explanation, but I'm curious where you are finding information about colors in allusion to Jacob's ladder. Are you simply inferring these colors using the symbolism found in the text?
