Question: How do evil thoughts affect our life? What should we do so that good things will happen to us?
Answer: You should imagine seeing the evil thoughts as good thoughts, as thoughts that lead you to the goal [1].
Question: But we receive our thoughts from the environment…
Answer: We receive the evil thoughts from the Creator [2] through the environment and not from the environment itself. No object in creation affects us by itself. The Creator is always behind everything, exhibiting this “theater” to us.
