jobor raises a valid issue (re. Pynchon's message to us via his text): 
predestination.  It might also be phrased "Are we all doomed?"  I would say 
that this is the razor's edge of his cosmology.  I agree with Terrance that 
a path back is not possible (but not a "no-no").  The way back is only a 
fable.

Here is maybe a more poingant question:  What is the way forward ?
