Point 2 might actually help resolve the Fermi paradox. The universe is full of habitable planets, and they do have life, but it isn't part of the spiritual development of the beings inhabiting these planets to interact in any substantive way with beings from other star systems. For those whom it is, either (1) they incarnate in globular clusters where the stars are much closer together and/or in systems with multiple habitable planets, (2) they get this experience through alternate means (e.g. isn't sailing to a barely-discovered continent in its own way almost as "alien" an experience as traveling to an alien planet, and doesn't it require a lot less in the way of nonrenewable-burning high tech?), or (3) their home planets have the resources needed to actually do that.
And I suspect that by the time you as a soul have made it to the point where you actually do have to deal with cosmic matters on a day-to-day basis, you've passed into (possibly beyond) Gwynfydd and no longer have nor need a physical body... nor, for that matter, physical radio transmission.
