Yes, you can have the former without the latter - it's a key component of attaining "enlightenment" or "stream entry", which is perhaps most feasibly achieved through vipassana meditation. This gives you a reasonably direct experience of anatta or "non-self" (where 'self' actually means something like personal identity and the attributes thereof, not phenomenological experience per se).
