Julie Waddington Nov 11, 2009:
More on the spelling question: I should have said in my explanation that it would probably be better to change the spelling, not that you needed to do it. Deborah is quite right to point out that both spellings are correct in English. I think changing it is wise though - particularly if you retain your own suggestion which remains so faithful to the original - for two reasons: first because reflection is more common than reflexion, and second so that it is clear that you have translated it and not used the Spanish word! Hope that helps to clarify things and thank you to Deborah for pointing it out.

in case of doubt about the spelling of "reflexion" this word has two spellings in English, reflexion and reflection, so your spelling is not wrong. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reflexion

keynote / central theme / main focus

We'd say something like that, not 'central point of reflection'.

Keynote = a prevailing tone or central theme (Oxford)
