If you cannot explain your own arguments in terms that the rest of us non-enlightened, non-universe communicators can understand, how can we begin to debate.

You can't. You might consider other points of view, however, and that can be very valuable. Stretches the mind to encompass new possibilities.
As you said, we can't prove anything. So why try? How about exploring?

To say that the "universe (a mass of particles and energy, devoid of consciousness except for those beings which reside within it) communicated with (you)" is thus on par with saying my "apartment building (a mass of particles and energy, devoid of consciousness except for those beings which reside within it) communicated with me".

Correct, except that nothing is "devoid of consciousness". The entire universe is consciousness itself.
What you call an "apartment building" isn't really 'out there' somewhere. Your mind creates that illusion. It is really 'in there' somewhere - it is a part of yourself, the universe. The universe communicates with itself. This is called love.

Oh, and by the way, my apartment building doesn't communicate with anyone else the way it does me, and so we'll never see eye-to-eye on the issue.

In a sense that's right - all communication is unique. But there are similarities.
Many people talk to their vehicles. They get to know them. They fall in love with them. They get intuitions when they are about to break down. They cry when they lose them. Communication with what you think of as 'physical objects' is really quite common.

I'll start looking to your books, and that evidence better be damned convincing, because what I have read of these "past lives" is nothing more than simple hypnotic suggestion and outright fabrication.

Perhaps it will be blessed convincing. You act as if I want or need you to see this or be convinced. It is not for me you are doing this. It is for yourself. You are missing a big part of life and its possibilities. I hope you open a bit more and enjoy the process.
There is nothing stranger or more exciting than the truth.
