Well partially. If you've spent a lot of time around non-dual, realized teachers who transmit that state by their very presence (and really we are all transmitting our own states, all of the time) you learn that presence. It's absolutely unmistakable. And of course long term meditators do develop not only intuition, but other "psychic" abilities as well.
